Our pet for the day!

Today we had a furry little visitor. A black fox. He hung out in our backyard with us, and he's been sleeping all day. I have never seen one in this area before. I think they are very rare? At first I thought it was a little dog, but it got up to stretch and I saw the bright white on his tail. It's a form of the red fox, and oh so cute. My cat liked him too!
