Foxes! At least two of the tiniest foxes I've ever seen, smaller than Tatsuko, with huge ears and almost cat-skinny tails, which I thought was odd. Not scared of me on the scooter, but they got off the road nonetheless.
That brings the number of different wild-mammal types I've seen on this slope of hill to three: opossum (a huge, fat one), raccoon, and now foxes.
We saw a big, long fox with a bushy tail near our house during a snowstorm, but these two must be babies.
Okay, now off to bed where I'll be covered in three small mammals soon enough.
Grinning with delight,
Chris
