I sent Connor some additional photos from our buddy picnic today. I couldn’t get mine to upload so in the next few days maybe Connor one of his staff will be posting them.

The Buddy Picnic was awesome. Haley even had Buddy on the glove up close and personal! You all should bid on one of these wildlife experiences when Gala time comes!

The cubs seem to be stumped as to how to rescue nanny goose from the hammock.

Yeah Jackermo, is it as hot in Texas as it is where you are (I know it is in Philadelphia), at least the municipal workers strike is over, the trash is piling up and getting smelly, at least I don't have much in the way of that stuff.

Thanks, SalGal's family, for sponsoring in her memory in July - National Ice Cream Month - a great treat in a hot month!

I love watching the cubs - Lav seems right at home with No Tag and keeps exploring all the goodies!

Thank you SalGals' family for the cool sponsorship. Please heal quickly Doris. You are the 4rd person that I know who recently had shoulder surgery.

Happy thankful Thursday! Thought for today: Every little smile can touch somebody's heart...no one is born happy...but all of us are born with the ability to create happiness. (wishes1234.com). Have a terrific day!

Deb in PA

Mornin' all! I'm curious to know what's so interesting on the other side of the LMI...Seems the cubs are really enjoying themselves!

Ursa

agree with you, Deb. I would love to see them as entranced with the side that has a working cam. Pls set me know re: private message yesterday. Thanks!

Is that a watermelon lying by the water tub? Would love to see them trying to open it! (I have trouble opening them myself!)

10:30am and the cubs have the zoomies!

I wonder if the saying...The concrete is always greener on the other side"....applies here.

oops, I'm finally getting to see the cubs together. Doris, I am so sorry you have to have surgery again. Best wishes for quick healing.

Little Lav was thinking about climbing in the tub but something outside caught her attention! (WCV)

Little Lav says, "I don't think there's enough room for all three of us in here!" (WCV)

Hmmm, I think the Wild Child may have met her match! LOL

I am wondering if anyone there can tell me what is wrong with this red fox. I am guessing mange. It keeps showing up in my yard. I have contacted Ohio resources with no help. If someone there can at least tell me what this animal has and any suggestions I would appreciate it. It is in Ohio not, Virginia.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

Yes, that is a bad case of mange, especially with how it's affecting his face. The first thing to do is find a rehabilitator in Ohio that can admit and treat foxes with mange. Here is a list of the rehabilitators in Ohio, organized by county and which animals they can treat.

Once you secure a rehabilitator who can treat the fox, then you can attempt to capture him. We recommend setting out a humane trap, that way you don't put yourself at risk of getting bitten or scratched. You can bait the trap with food, and make sure to check it at least twice daily in the morning and evening. If you accidentally catch something other than the fox, just be sure to let it back out.

2:37

Foxes are wary, so it may take a while to trap him. But he's in pretty rough shape, so he's likely to enter if you keep at it. I hope you are successful in getting him help!

Doris aka Teeth

2:38

Connor, did you sign her shirt?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

2:38

No, I forgot to do that before she left! That's okay, though. That just means I'll have to see her again.

Dawn in VB

Doris, very sorry that you are having another surgery. Please heal quickly. I know that you will be watching the cams. I enjoy watching the eagles.

Deb in PA

3:35

Doris, so sorry about your shoulder. I send healing prayers your way and hope your surgery goes well.

PN Wright in Ohio

Thank you Connor. I have talked with a rehabilitator willing to help with trapping. I appreciate your help.

So happy to see NT and Lav becoming great buddies!

Ursa

NT succeeded in pushing the duck out of the hammock and then got out herself. As soon as the coast was clear Lav installed herself there and now won't let NT join her!

Nope - the hammock is mine!
