For nearly as long as The Squire and I have lived here we have been putting out cheap dog food for the local wildlife – foxes, possums, raccoons, and the occasional coyote. For quite a while we fed both the foxes and the raccoons on the patio, with the two groups sitting back-to-back, and pretending the other critters weren’t there. Since we understand that not everybody is as kindly intentioned toward wildlife as we are, we decided to move the dishes to the “back forty” – the mowed strip behind the barn, under the power lines.
We had snow Monday night and into Tuesday and when The Squire went out last night to put out the food, he saw enough tracks to make one thinks we have a dozen foxes back there. We have quite a few black plastic “flats” from various frozen foods, so I suggested we put out several of those, instead of putting all of the kibble in one big dish. “That way, we don’t have one fox hogging all of the food.”
The Squire just looked at me. “You know, you really should have been zoo-keeper.”

We also have a $200 a month birdseed problem. Wouldn’t have it any other way!
Haha…I think you both are already accomplished zoo keepers
I think you are correct!
