i like the idea of a dog being called boo. Jules is def my boo. Channy goes out in the yard whoring after mr. Fox. we have a fox in the neighborhood and he literally CALLS out to her. we are afraid to let them out at night bc she will go down to the far corner of the yard and just pace around and sniff. i talked to the vet about it and he said that dogs can get mange from foxes, the foxes roll on the ground, the dogs roll in the scent and pick up the eggs etc. and so they get mange and can communicated it to HUMANS. so i was full on horrified after that. we had just been worried that he might carry her off, now i’m worried she is going to get mange and communicate it to us! Jules is not really interested in the fox, he sits at the top of the yard, near the front door, looking at her and hoping she will come in. he is afraid to go in without her and will sit there waiting for her.
Foxes are great fun to watch, aren’t they? I see them hurrying about their business in the woods when I’m hiking, but they don’t come into yards-most dogs on this road are big or huge, except for a couple of medium sized terriers that bark and go after anything that moves. Husky girl likes to listen to the trilling noise raccoons make at night-she will sit by the gate, eyes trained on the spot in the woods that the noise is coming from until it stops or I bring her inside.
Whenever I hear Boo, I think Radley.
