Hole in the leg

Last night, I suddenly saw that Flash had actually been injured by the fox yesterday. He has a gap in the skin of the size a little smaller than a 5-penny coin! I was in two minds of whether to take Flash to the vet for stitches, but have decided against it hoping it will heal on its own. I am watching it very closely though just in case an infection sets in.

Fox in the park

This morning, Dylan and Flash disappeared into the distance on the playing field. As it was of course dark, I couldn't see what they were after, but after a while I could hear fox noises. I went up to where they were and sure enough, there was a terrified fox being "attacked" by Dylan and Flash. Of course, Dylan and Flash are muzzled, so couldn't physically hurt the fox, but the fox was exhausted by the time I got to them. I pulled the boys away from the fox and I hope he is ok. He looked quite young...

Oh, and here's a picture of Flash not hunting, on 22nd November.
