THE FOX DEN

My pet fox REDTAIL!! :)

My pet fox REDTAIL!

REDTAIL was my everything in life! When I got her back in 2012, she was my dream come true! I've wanted a pet fox since the time I was six years old. REDTAIL was the world to me,

Through the story on Skyrock, I'd like to share her story of "A REDTAIL Story" The story that chronicles, her life from the moment I got her. To her passing. To this day, I haven't and will never get over the loss of losing REDTAIL. She meant the world to me. Helped me through so much in life. I hope sharing her story helps you see foxes in a new light. Because of REDTAIL I now breed my foxes. I call it "REDTAIL'S FOXES" the subtitle is also called "REDTAIL'S FOXES Where love&care, is just a YAP away!" I hope you all appreciate REDTAIL'S Story and cherish and love her as much as I did.

RIP REDTAIL FOREVER.

A REDTAIL Story - part 7 RIP - REDTAIL

I have thought long and hard about sharing this part of REDTAIL's life with everyone. I know telling her story will help others see that foxes can be the best pets in the world.

When I watched the video that was, sent to me, I knew it was about REDTAIL. The video was horrifying. It showed a man wearing glovers carrying my pet fox into the woods. Placing my fox on the ground holding her by the neck as another man got out his hunting knife. Another person was recording it. The man with the hunting knife cut off REDTAIL's tail, as my fox screamed and cried out in so much pain. You could hear them laughing over the tailless REDTAIL. The men made sure to keep their faces off the video. The man holding REDTAIL threw her to the ground and kicked her, whistle out for his dogs to attack her as REDTAIL tried to run away, one man kicked her in the belly to stop her from running.

The dogs attacked her and just mangled her to pieces.

The man holding the camera zoomed in one of the dogs had REDTAIL by her throat. I could see REDTAIL's eyes, were almost grey my fox couldn't breathe. It was hard to see REDTAIL after the dogs just mauled her when one of the men whistled for his dogs to stop. REDTAIL lay lifeless on the ground on her side. In the video, you can hear her heavy breathing. They kicked her around for a moment before cutting off her ear. REDTAIL didn't make a sound in my mind. I like to hope she passed out and couldn't feel any pain. They lifted REDTAIL. Her eyes were open, the look of pain and hurt on her face breaking my soul. I was wrong REDTAIL was conscious not passed out. They toss her down again into the snow, watching her attempt to drag away from them. One man kicked her again another hit her with a stick. They grabbed her two front legs and taunted their dogs to pull on REDTAIL's back legs. Tug of war with her body. That moment REDTAIL was making fox distress call's I can imagine how much pain she was going through.

REDTAIL let out the most God-awful sticking scream. It didn't even sound like a fox scream or bark. Her back left leg detached from her tiny body.

The men tried to hide their satisfaction of laughing. REDTAIL lay there dead in their minds. They picked her up and came through my backyard. With one last final smack in the face and spit on her, they threw her back into the pen, Where I'd find REDTAIL just an hour later. All this was happening as I was inside my home wrapping Christmas gifts for REDTAIL...

Watching the recording, I throw up five times and also had a mental breakdown. I told my mom about the USB stick that was sent to me. I told her it's from our nightmare of neighbours in the backwoods behind their house and the shoes they wear are in the video. My mom had enough, we went down to the police station and showed them the video. The police still stood by theirs no proof it was your neighbours. No voices are heard or face shown. I was at a loss how can anyone hurt and kill a little six-month-old fox kit? The world stands by and watches with an " Oh Well can't prove it " I fell into a deep depression after that. I lost all faith in humankind. Even more when the video ended up on Youtube. It took weeks for me to get the video taken down

My hick hunter neighbours wouldn't stop even after that. One night they dug up REDTAIL, and the next day they started playing road hockey in front of my house, using REDTAIL's dead body as the hockey puck. That same day. I tried to commit suicide. I don't remember much else. I woke up a week later in a hospital bed. My mom took care of me, we talked for hours and hours. I aked her about REDTAIL? My mom told me. Ashley they threw REDTAIL into a garbage truck. I tried to catch the truck, but I was trying to call for help, for you. I couldn't help you both. I'm sorry Ashley REDTAIL's gone. She lives in your heart forever.

I may never get over the loss of REDTAIL. But knowing I have family and friends who care and love for me. In the hospital got a phone call from Paul (the boy who bought REDTAIL for me) Paul. Was at a loss for words over what happened. His words of compassion and being a friend meant so much to me. Paul and I talked so much in the next coming days. We talk about REDTAIL. I sent him photos of REDTAIL. Paul asked me to come back to New Jersey to spend time with him and get away from Nashville. Paul and I spent so much time together in Jersey, becoming more than just good friends. I got a phone call from my parents telling me we are moving so when. I came back to Nashville. No more nightmare neighbours to deal with. I was happy but wish REDTAIL could've come with us. That night I had a dream everyone thinks I'm crazy.

I had this dream. I woke up there was REDTAIL alive! Standing on my bed, I yelled out REDTAIL! and gave her a huge hug! In the dream, I knew she was gone. I told her I missed her so deeply. I told her I can't go on with life without her. She licked my face and looked down at my hand, in my hand was a card called " REDTAIL's Foxes " she wanted me to breed my foxes and share the love of foxes with the world. The dream was over. I woke up with tears in my eyes. I knew I had to make REDTAIL's dream come true.

So where is Ashley me (Foxy) now? Paul came back to Nashville to live with me, we now live on our own. Paul and I now breed foxes and sell them to people like me, who love foxes.

I know somewhere up in heaven, REDTAIL. Is smiling her dream came true. Because the day I met you REDTAIL. You made my dream come true. I love you eternally REDTAIL. n
Not a day or moment goes by without me thinking about you. My life will never be the same until. I see you again REDTAIL.

A REDTAIL Story :) part 6 Remembering REDTAIL

The first time I want to talk about the day REDTAIL passed away. It will be hard for me to talk about all this, December 21st, 2012. REDTAIL was by my side in bed, her wet nuzzle almost next to mine. I chuckled and kissed her " You want breakfast REDTAIL ?" she jumped up and headed downstairs.REDTAIL went in her pen to use the washroom and came back in for breakfast. After she ate, I held her in my arms and kissed her on the head. Little did I know it would be the last kiss I ever got to give her.

I went upstairs to change because my mom asked me to shovel the snow in the backyard to make a path, REDTAIL tried to follow me but her tiny kits legs were just too small to boost herself up one step. It was so adorable watching her try to get up. I told her I would be back down in a moment. I put REDTAIL in her fox pen for she could watch me shovel the snow when I saw footprints all over our backyard. I knew it was from our disgusting neighbours who lived behind us.

I knew they hated REDTAIL, so I made sure nothing was wrong with her pen. Everything looked fine after a good long check on things. When I finished up with the snow, I headed back inside to finish wrapping REDTAIL's Christmas presents. Over a half-hour went by when I started thinking REDTAIL, where is she? I went to her pen to see if she was still inside. I knew it couldn't be the case REDTAIL didn't care much for a pen she was an indoor foxy. I looked in the pen REDTAIL wasn't there? I thought nothing of it. I asked my mom are you with REDTAIL? my mom said no. I haven't seen her since you two went outside.

I went back out to the pen, my heart dropped. On the side of the pen was a big hole someone. Cut the fence and grabbed her. I was in full panic mode, shaking in fear. It was hard for me to even go back inside my own house, to tell my mom what happen. I knew it was the neighbours behind us. I ran over to their home and told them to please give me back REDTAIL. I told them. I will never disturb you again just give her back to me. My neighbours told me "We don't have your filthy fox go away " They slammed the door in my face.

I ran back home shouting out REDTAIL! REDTAIL! where are you? My mom told me to calm down, REDTAIL is probably playing hide and seek again. I told my mom no! there's a hole in her pen someone took her. My mom went to speak to my neighbours they told her the same thing, in my heart, I didn't believe them at all, In panic mode.

I told my mom I know in my heart our hick neighbours stole my fox! My mom agreed she called the police, not much they could do without evidence. They told us we could come down and make a statement about this. They would look into it. I didn't want to leave if REDTAIL came back. My mom informed me, I needed to be there based on all the harassment they hollered at me. Saying they would catch REDTAIL one day. Against my will, I left and headed to the police station, shaking so scared what or where is REDTAIL?

When we got back home, My neighbours were outside laughing. Deep in my heart, I knew they killed my little fox. I headed inside my house and went straight to REDTAIL's pen gut feeling, I suppose. In the corner of the pen was this dirty rag? I thought to myself, why is there a dirty rag in her Penn? When I got closer, my heart collapsed. It wasn't a dirty rag.

It was REDTAIL. I thought she was dead. Through sobbing, I called out for my mom. Almost nothing left of REDTAIL, her back left leg was missing. Her right ear was missing. She was covered in blood wet with snow and dirt. Somehow she was still alive barely. I picked her up and held her. My mom called the vets. Held REDTAIL, saying it's ok little foxy. I felt moving REDTAIL, went into a seizure. I held her closer you're going to be ok REDTAIL I told her. I could feel something wet on my arm. REDTAIL she was foaming at the mouth. I screamed out REDTAIL PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! I begged in tears. Blood started to come out from her missing leg. REDTAIL's other legs kicked for a quick moment. They soon stopped. I could feel REDTAIL's body had no feeling left. I had just lost my pet fox REDTAIL.

My mom picked her up and wrapped her in a blanket as we rushed to the vets. I ran in yelling, help my fox, please help my fox! I'm sure I sounded like a crazy girl, but I didn't care. They took REDTAIL in for emergency surgery. I knew she was gone but I asked them to check what happened to her? When the vet came out hours later, he told us that REDTAIL was gone. The vet told us things we didn't know. In a panic, I never notice this. The vet told me REDTAIL had bite marks all over her, and it's why she lost her leg. The vet told me. Something I didn't know.REDTAIL had also lost her tail. The vet said. " No bites were around the tail area. Like a clean-cut " When I got to see, REDTAIL she didn't even look real, wasn't even a fox anymore. I was heartbroken looking at this little six-month-old fox.

I wish I knew what happened to you REDTAIL, I'm so sorry. When we got REDTAIL home, the hick neighbours were still outside, shouting

"Hey Ashley, look at my new foxtail. I wear it on my hat" I knew it was REDTAIL's tail! I was so furious. I had to look the other way the police would take care of them for me.

That night we wrapped REDTAIL up in her favourite blanket. My dad dug a hole for her, put her into the ground with her unopened Christmas gifts. I can't put into words what the night did to me. It killed me inside. I've never felt like the same girl since then. I thought my nightmare was over, thinking my sicking neighbours would pay for what they did.

Christmas came and went my dream of showing REDTAIL to my family was gone. Christmas wasn't the same. I never left my room or opened any presents. After New Year's. The nightmare of my neighbours was back. The police looked into the neighbours found nothing they told us,

the neighbours wanted "payback" is the best way to say it.

Two days after, I got an envelope in the mail, inside was a USB stick, the truth of what happens to REDTAIL was on this stick. I have thought long and hard if I would even write this. I thought about ending " A REDTAIL Story" I want to share her story with the world.

I knew this stick was from my neighbours. I also knew it had something to do with REDTAIL. I took a deep breath and watched the video. I only watched it because I needed closure.

A REDTAIL Story :) part 5

In the days leading up to Christmas, I couldn't wait for my family to meet REDTAIL. I was spoiling her so much with toys I was buying for her. she had no idea how many new things she had to play with on Christmas morning.

I was so jealous of REDTAIL every time I looked at her being everything I wanted to be a real fox without a care in the world. We tried teaching her that she had an outdoor pen to play with and live.

She didn't really like being outside in her Penn. Dad worked quickly on the Penn. REDTAIL didn't like it at all, sniff around and walk back into the house. I have to say it made me happy she wanted to be indoors. I never wanted her living outside in the cold weather. Foxes are used to that weather REDTAIL was so only six months old! Cold for her outside. I loved sleeping with her in my bed anyways. Every day Paul was calling me on the phone asking how REDTAIL was doing? I never knew at the time he was flirting with me. Boys never flirt with me.

Where I'm from it's a nightmare! It's hunters heaven! Everyone around me loves to hunt and kill foxes pretty much. In school, the boys use to make fun of me "there goes Ashley the weird fox girl" because I was against hunting and tried to get it banned, they fought back against me. In high school, the boys who didn't like me would, show up and throw foxtails at me and say "my father and I went hunting on the weekend this was the tail of a fox we killed" anything to upset me.

When I spoke to their parent's things got more harmful, they'd say "go home and stop worrying about foxes, there made to be hunted and killed little girl" When I told my teachers at school what the bullies were saying, the bullies and their parents made my life a living hell. It all happens a year before I got REDTAIL. It just never stopped after I got her. The harassment got worse the moment I brought REDTAIL home. The tyrants were also my neighbours they could bully me easily.

I remember one day getting ready to leave for school, I opened the door laying on the doormat was a dead fox, I fell to my knees and began to cry,
It never stopped twice a week dead foxes were showing up in my yard. When I got REDTAIL I was hoping and praying they'd stop, no such luck. Every time I took her on a walk they'd yell declaring "that fox is ugly!" " that fox will be stuffed one day" also " if we got a hold of that thing it will be dead" little did I know, how accurate their statements would be.

I felt like I was alone no one to help me? Until Paul started talking to me on the phone, he lived so far away from me! I felt safe in the words he told me. He once said, "I'm REDTAIL's father I won't let anything happen to her or you Ashley..sorry Foxy because your my little brown foxy Ashley" it made me feel so safe inside. The bullies kept throwing dead foxes on my yard, when I'd take REDTAIL outside I would make sure to conceal her face for she couldn't see a dead fox family member of hers. I could never bring myself to move the dead fox. My dad would do it for me. Each day I got to spend with REDTAIL was better than the last! She was so easy to train to listen to everything I said. Every day I would tell her Christmas is coming, Santa will bring her so many new toys. I couldn't wait to share my first Christmas with REDTAIL. The moment I got her, I had only spent 8 minutes away from her in total.

It was so much fun watching her play around the Christmas tree playing hide and seek with her, trying to show her the outdoor Penn was fun when the weather got warmer. REDTAIL being a six-month-old fox kit her legs were so small, her running was funny, because she couldn't run she would trip she was everything you could ask for in a pet fox. On December 20th. I went to bed thinking about REDTAIL's first Christmas and the toys I bought for her. Little did I know the next day was going to be her last day before she passed away because of a promise my horrible neighbours made. REDTAIL would lose her life. In many ways, I lost mine as well.

A REDTAIL Story :) part 4

A week before Christmas, more right after Thanksgiving. We have a hunting season. Hunters go out and shoot all kinds of animals, so it's way too much of a risk to let REDTAIL outside even on her leash or take her to the woods, So I kept her indoors a lot she wanted to go out I can't risk it.

One night I had to take REDTAIL outside to use the bathroom before we went to bed. No hunting was going on because they have to stop at midnight. Every night I could hear gunshots in the woods, REDTAIL would freak out and run and burrow under my bed the sound scared her so much.

With it being so close to Christmas, hunting season has to stop down here for safety. I felt good to take REDTAIL on a stroll in the woods. REDTAIL needed a good walk too! REDTAIL and I went on a walk in the woods she loved it!! jumping around, smelling at everything, so cute REDTAIL's tail wagging so happy.

We came across a fox den. So I took REDTAIL off her leash go inside REDTAIL to check it out I said. So she went in I could hear her sniffing around I went to find a place to sit down. The smile on her face when she came out was huge! I felt like the best foxy mother ever! It was so adorable the snow was so high (for REDTAIL) she couldn't walk through it only jumps, I had to pick her up and carry her until we found spots the snow wasn't high for her.

I never felt so happy in my life nothing could ever ruin the moments' REDTAIL and I shared. Later that day we found another fox den empty as well,I took some of REDTAIL's food from my backpack and put some inside the den for her to eat. She loved it so much! Watching her eat inside the den, thinking to myself God, REDTAIL, you have no idea how lucky you are to be born a fox! I so badly wanted to be on all fours with her eating and living in that den.

My mind was racing with the idea, seeing REDTAIL and myself, living in a fox den I was no longer a human girl. I was a true fox! my dream had come true I was a real red fox. I snapped out of that dream and kept watching REDTAIL sniff and eat, smiling so much for her. Proud to be her foxy mother, thinking times like this will never end...Little did I know that was the last great moment I shared with REDTAIL before she passed on.

A REDTAIL Story :) part 3

Back home to Nashville was something I couldn't wait for, after spending a long time at my cousin's place and meeting a great guy (Paul) and getting a dream of a pet fox (:

When I got RED TAIL back home, she was still frightened to death. She hadn't improved in a week. Still, the same cry all night and day, freak out if you went near her. She wouldn't leave her box. She wouldn't eat food or drink. Frightened of different everything for her.

I took her up to my room, set her box on the ground she barks at me. No sleep in 4 days. crying thought of REDTAIL rejected me. I bowed my head down in the box and shouted.

REDTAIL STOP THIS, LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME!! I'M HEARTBROKEN OVER THE FACT YOU HATE ME I'M CRYING ALL THE TIME.

After that, I got up and left. I went to the washroom when I got back from the bathroom, I looked in the box REDTAIL was GONE! my heart sank. I looked all over when I saw her. on my bed. I thought to myself, OMG. REDTAIL came out of her box! she was sniffing my bed. In a quiet voice, I said REDTAIL? She looked up at me and went back to sniffing my bed. Very slowly. I walked over to my bed and sat down next to her, In a soft tone. I said RED TAIL it's ok honey, gently picked her up in my arms. She began to freak out. In a soft voice, I said. REDTAIL, mommy is here. She looked up at me. She calmed down the first time I got to hold my little fox kit in my arms since the first day we met. I bent my head down and kissed the top of her head. I said I love you so much REDTAIL. I patted her for hours. That day she came around to let me hold Her.

That first night at home with me, I kept her box near my bed, but she loved She wouldn't leave. I got into my bed, she walked all over me for some time, haha Then she calmed down and laid on my chest and rested her head under my chin. I cover her up in my blanket with me. I kissed her and sniffed her, and said softly in her ear. I love you REDTAIL. You don't know how fortunate you are to be born a fox. You mean the world to me. I love you so much.

The next day and the next few weeks went great. She came around and from then on REDTAIL and I was inseparable (:

foxy Ashley and her baby fox kit RED TAIL (: Every day I would take REDTAIL on a walk she loved it!

We would end up in the woods we would find fox dens for her and me I. I'd take her off her leash and say go ahead REDTAIL go inside. I knew she wouldn't run away if she was off her leash. She was still scared and very shy of everything, so she would never run. Seeing her inside a fox den sniffing around and coming out with a smile on her little fox face. I was so proud of my little fox kit REDTAIL (: I felt happy that I never had before. I found myself even leaving school and work at lunchtime to spend time with her.

One thing that remained in my heart forever was. It was a freezing December night out. I sheltered REDTAIL up in my blanket, I got my Rockin chair. I sat in front of my window in my room.

With REDTAIL covered up in the blanket. I rolled in my chair put on some nature sound music. I had it playing. REDTAIL, and I cuddled all night. I kissed her head she wagged her tail. She started falling asleep in my arms just like a real baby. I got up and put her in my bed. covered in blankets. I lay down and went to bed. She rolled over with her wet nose. She nuzzles mine, the best night of my life!

A REDTAIL Story :) part 2

Having REDTAIL and her being at my cousin's place REDTAIL was scared to death. I couldn't do anything to help her. I would try and pick her up, and she would freak out. I never left her side,
my then-boyfriend called me and asked how is REDTAIL doing? I told him everything and how I can't seem to calm RED TAIL down. She is fear...

My soon-to-be boyfriend, said to me it sounds like it is not working for you and REDTAIL, perhaps this was a bad idea? We should take REDTAIL back to the breeder? I said NO give her time she'll come around shortly. He said well Ashley it sounds like she never will, she is terrified we should give her back to the breeder. My soon-to-be-boyfriend and I got into a fight on the phone He hung up. I thought he was just mad at me. An hour later, Paul's buddy showed up (he also knew my cousin Lisa) he showed up drunk! My dad wasn't happy with this. My boyfriend's friend (Ian) and my cousin (Lisa) use to date, he was still mad at the breakup, yelling and arguing in the living room where REDTAIL was sleeping. Ian was yelling at Lisa and me too, accusing me of Paul being upset. it was like nothing I've ever witnessed before. Before he showed up REDTAIL, fell asleep she was just so overtired from being scared and not sleeping. lucky girl, I hadn't rested in 4days.

Ian and Lisa kept on arguing, enough! I said, Ian looked at me
shut up! He said. And walked over to REDTAIL box, she was asleep he kicked the box hard! reached in and clutches her by the stomach and pulled her up..now REDTAIL freak out who wouldn't? REDTAIL freak's out scratched him, and when she did, he launched her crossed the room. She hit the wall and fell, she cracks the side of her head on the side of the tv. she hit the photo frames on the way down. I yelled out as loud as I could

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED TAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She ran away in such panic, making noises screaming and making her fox distress call. The expression of terror on her face is something I'll never forget. sheltering in a corner of the room, shaking in fright. With her eyes open so wide. Long story short My dad came in, I told him what happen, he forced Ian out of the house. Paul called me The next day. he was sorry. I understood it wasn't his fault. felt like a nightmare. I was waiting to open my eyes and realize it was just that bad dream it wasn't.

Ian and Lisa get into arguments a lot. I told him he needs to stop being friends with Ian after hurting A FOX KIT! REDTAIL was only six months old! REDTAIL had a gash over her eye she was ok. I was scared that she would never trust not even me. All night she was trembling in fear.
A week after, I travelled back home with my family leaving my cousin

A REDTAIL Story :) part 1

In 2012 I went away to see some of my family in NJ. Never knowing how my life would change for better and worst.

after getting down to NJ I got to meet up with my cousin and her friends and one of her friends who ended up as my boyfriend and also the man who made one of 2 of my dreams come true...little did I know he would also become my soon husband one day.

I was hanging out with my cousin and her friend Paul, and he asked me what's with all the fox stuff? I told him about my furry lifestyle he found it cool, I gotta say I liked him too he was hot! we hit it off quite well hanging out even went on a date (it was my first date) we immediately started to become more than good friends. XD I told him eventually I wish to get my pet fox he said really? well you never know Ashley..2 days later he came over to my cousin's residence and told me he had been speaking to a fox breeder and that he wants to purchase me a PET FOX!!! I was smiling ear to ear bouncing up and down like a little fox kit girl XD I jump in his arms and hug him and kissed him on the cheek and said thank you so so so much!!! he said anything for my foxy. I couldn't help but blush

The first time in this foxy life, I was happy, I couldn't wait to see my pet fox, the breeder sent me so many photos of all varieties of foxes he was breeding I was smiling big in every photo saw. the next day Paul and my family went to the fox breeder, when we pulled up to his home my heart began pulsating fast and hard I had never been this close to any of my dreams before when I got out of the car I could smell the foxes and hear some yap yapping I was smiling huge! he took us to the cages where the foxes were, the breeder said ok who do you like?

I looked at all the foxes I wanted them all, haha but I saw this little shy fox hiding in the back. I said to the breeder what about that one. he said ok and went in and grab the fox (not hard) Well she a vixen (a female fox) she's only 3 years old she still a kit (a baby fox) I said can I hold her? he said sure but watch yourself. I held her in my arms I can't even tell you the emotion I got my dream my hopes my life was in my hands, I bent my head down and sniffed her. it was a smell I love from foxes, she looked up at me and licked my chin...I honesty started to tear up I was crying in joy. I said in a soft voice "I love you Red Tail" my family said what? I looked up with tears in my eyes and said her name its RED TAIL! I love her so much, the breeder took REDTAIL, made sure everything was ok with her. I ran over to Paul and gave him such a big hug and kiss on the cheek, no one will understand what it meant to me, to have my pet fox.

When we got REDTAIL. it wasn't what I was expecting, the box she came in, she wouldn't leave that box, She was sobbing and barking non-stop. If you went near the box she would freak out and run around the box looking for a way out. She would get frightened and would pee, she was scared to death. I knew she would be scared of a new home (short time home till I got her back to Nashville with me) That night she never relaxed. All night she was sobbing and barking, I never left her side I never slept at all. I remember thinking what have I done? this poor tiny fox kit. So frightened. She sobbing thanks to me..the next day I called the breeder and told him. He said to give her three days to get used to you. After the first night of listening to her sobbing, it destroyed my heart to hear that from RED TAIL...
