I think I only met the fox once or twice, he brought it to our house on its leash. I remember it very well though. Not sure about the legality of ownership here in Britain but I've not heard of people breeding foxes as pets here.

I used to think that, but I couldn't be complicit in killing small animals and birds. I adore birds of prey though. Had a sparrowhawk crash land on top on my greenhouse once trying and failing to get a sparrow. She ended up in a bit if an undignified heap, not her best try, lol!

A girl up the road had several ponies over the years and used to sometimes bring her pony down to my house and take me for short rides. On holidays I'd go for an hour pony trek then barely be able to breathe for the rest of the day. It was pretty bad but I endured it just so I could ride.
