Pablo and the fox

Yesterday I heard this terrible noice in the garden, thought our dogs were fighting or maybe with some other dog, I went out very quicly and to my big surprise I saw a fox running away in front of the gate through the fench to the garden next door.

I understood it was Pablo, our Golden Retriever, as a good huntingdog, who had got after this animal. I looked at him everywhere and could see his nose was bleeding, so they actually did fight. I cleaned the wound and the vet, I phoned immediatly, told me there was nothing to worry about as there is no rabbies in our region and our dog is well vaccinated. Just clean the wound and keep and eye on it.

It is incredible though that the fox actually comes around here, knowing that our houses are quite close and the woods are more than a kilometer away from here.
I hope neighbours with chicken didn't quite have the same surprise as me because the fox would have had his Christmas dinner before time I'm sure.
