holymoses   10 #1 Posted August 30, 2007 About 4ish this morning we heard a clomping noise on the street outside, plus whimpering. We had a curtain twitching moment to find two foxes on the street outside, I think one must had caught their paw in a can. That would account for the clomping sound.  This was in Intake did any one else see them? The fox sounded in alot of distress, but it was long gone within a minute or two, heading towards the TA centre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BasilRathbon   10 #4 Posted August 30, 2007 whats "whimmering" ? i'd like to hear some of that!  Whimmering is a small village in Dorset renowned for its Fox Sanctuary. The term has, as a consequence come to be used as slang for the noises mating foxes make.    Hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Nigel Womersle   10 #5 Posted August 30, 2007 The poster stated 'whimpering', not whimmering. Its a low crying sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hepstall   10 #6 Posted August 30, 2007 How does that translate into a rude awakening though? Its not as if they took a wazz on your lawn after a skinful and then put two fingers up at you after a drunken outbust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
holymoses   10 #7 Posted August 30, 2007 A quick edit on my part. I wasn't quite awake when I posted. Not enough beauty sleep, I was wide awake for a good hour after the foxes had been.  Any way back to the post... I take it no one else saw or heard anything? The poor fox sounded in agony.

BasilRathbon   10 #10 Posted August 30, 2007 Like the other poster said it's what they do when around females.  Oddly enough I also whimper when I'm around females. Am I turning into a fox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
