Sorry about the long lag in posting. We have been pretty busy at the farm with different fiber events.  This past weekend though Vlad the Fox Impaler finally lived up to his name.  As Scott was sitting on the couch he saw Vlad perk up from his perch on the mulch pile.  Then he took off running and Scott soon discovered he was chasing a fox across the yard.  Unfortunatley for Vlad he did not catch it because he does run a bit slow, but he sure gave the fox something to remember about coming back to our place.  It only took 2 years but finally Vlad is a full fledged guard dog.
