The cuteness will continue....

General
So, many of you know of my adventures in interning as a volunteer at the animal sanctuary and how I tell of my crazy stories of Skitter. I was worried that my internship was going to end this month, not anymore. I just received an extension till the end of November, meaning, I'll be able to share more pictures and stories of Skitter! Best news I've had all day actually. I will be able to learn even more about fox ethology as well as develop an even stronger bond with her! I don't know about you, but I'm actually really, really happy that I can work there even longer

Must be doing something right, does she yip a lot?

~therandomizer
OP
Not really, but she does gekker a bit if she steals my camera case (then again, most foxes will do that ) she squeaks and squeals for joy and runs right up to me when I call her name. The fact that I've hadn't anything go horribly wrong when I'm in her cage alone must say something about the relationship she has with me. I mean yeah, I'm not her owner, but I'd like to believe that she has at least a rudimentary level of trust when Skitter's around me. That canid smile, her ears folded back as I stroke her head, the licks she gives me, ugh, everything about her makes me feel happy, she's just about the most affectionate animal I have EVER encountered

Glad to hear that, Skitter and Tazzina alone make it worth it to me

I would love to have the opportunity that you do working a wildlife preserve. Unfortunately the nearest one to me is in the next state.

Ouch, that sucks, but yes, it truly is an awesome experience and it gives me a sense or purpose. Being able to work with animals like Skitter, man, it helps me a lot but more importantly, it helps them
FluffyHusky
~blackheart1993
In my opinion working with animals like this is the best thing anyone can do. For instance if you are really stressed out just spend a little time with animals like that and next thing you know stress is gone.

Yeah, very much so, I can attest to that. Interacting with them has been shown to have many benefits for the brain and the body. Oxytocin, endorphins, lower blood pressure, reduction in the chemical cortizone which is released when anxious or stressed.

Yeah, totally unexpected but very welcome news after a very stressful week. I mean when I saw the email I was like "Say WHAT?" and told her that the schedule she had would work perfectly, seeing as I'm not going back to school for a while and all that jazz. VERY welcoming and heartening news. Not only that, but the support I've been getting for people here and on Facebook, etc has been wonderful

~thelittleredfox
Ah good, I'm glad it all fits in perfectly. Maybe its....Your destiny?

Well, it definitely feels like something I should be doing, because it feel right, it helps me feel good
TheLittleRedFox
~thelittleredfox
I'm glad it feels right to be helping animals, it should always feel right. And the fact that it can boost your mood and make you feel good inside is always a welcome bonus.

That it is, and it's something I want to do as long as I can
TheLittleRedFox
~thelittleredfox
Good As soon as I can I want to go and volunteer at either that local farm or somewhere else that's not too far.
