Wow!!! This is incredible, Joell. Of course you did the right thing by realizing this could potentially have been a dangerous situation, but I totally get that desire to believe that it was a beautiful and playful interaction. I had a close encounter with a fox in Breckenridge a few years ago that left me breathless in the best way. Oh, how I wanted to touch that fox! I do believe it would have let me, but at the same time I knew it was not the right thing to do. I had this intense feeling that the fox represented my deceased mother. Did you have that feeling about your Dad?
