    Default An Impassioned Defence against the Quick Brown Fox

    I stumbled upon this gem while looking at the FPN Classifieds. The guy, unaffiliated with me , is selling his Visconti Opera Typhoon.
    Here's his original link: http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...squito-filler/

    While I am a dog person, this fox is sure cute.

    I have a pair of foxes visit our back yard. They have a ton of fun taunting my dog. Poor old Ralph thinks he's getting the upper hand on them....but they sit just out of his range (electric fence). They step into the yard....Ralph goes crazy. Then they go back out of the electric fence and sit just out of reach. They repeat this over and over. It's funny to watch.

    Do they ever jump over him?

    Not that I've seen. They just sit a couple of feet away from the electric fence border. They aren't scared of me either. I tried shooing them away with no luck. I enjoy them a lot (when I see them). Very brave creatures. I can see how they raid the chicken house....no fear.

    I thought you said shooting them away at first...
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
