Seth came in on August 3. We got a hotline call about a young fox hanging around a neighborhood in So Glens Falls, skinny, and doing circles. I sent someone down to pick him up and just as she got there he was "tapped" by a car. She was able to scoop him up and bring him in. Turns out he had an old injury to the jaw which healed, we're guessing the head trauma & jaw injury were caused at the same time and he's been scraping for food since then. |
 August 11 He was ravenous when he came in and ate well. The vet thought that the jaw injury alone might render him non-releasable, as it is likely to give him dental problems. With the head trauma still fairly severe, it's a likely conclusion that his only future is as an ed animal. That's assuming the head trauma clears or improves to a point where he's got an acceptable quality of life and he can adjust to captivity. |
 He was with me until August 21, then he went to my friend Nancy. Here he is Sept 17, back with me, and in a larger cage. He's almost full grown now and quite a beauty. |
 Release day came for Smoky, Bandit & Luke on August 17. Here Luke is on the left looking at Smoky, Bandit has just fled. |
 So, are you coming? |
 and off they went! |
 Punky and the gang went to the Raccoon Palace on August 17, to be released in a week or two. |
  They explored the cage while Karen's babies looked on. |
