This means someone saw a fox and is scared to death.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, that fox will find it's way into Jan Brewington's home.
ReplyDeletePlease don't wish that on any fox, rabid or not 12:13.
ReplyDelete10:41 AM You are totally off base. The fox attacked a dog and then escaped. A childish remark.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say we dealt with the staff at Wor Environmental Health a couple of years ago about a rabies incident. You couldn't ask for a more helpful, kind and considerate, knowledgeable group of people. I know government workers get all kinds of grief so I just wanted to point this out.
