New babies at the Morrison/Driedger place???

This morning Michelle awoke and went to check the river level. She immediately exclaimed: "the fox has pups!". After running and getting her glasses she cooed "they are soo cute!". I quickly ran around the house to try and find the camera, which was in my office at work. After that I squinted and looked through michelle's lens to two fuzzy blobs playing with a larger fuzzy blob near the opening of the fox's den. By the time I got my contacts in they had vanished probably not to reappear until this evening. I will try to get pics later this week.

Oh and the river is high (17.84 feet) at James Avenue. A friend has pointed out the Canadian river gauge site. Accept their disclaimer and look for the Red River gauge at the James Avenue Pumping Station. If that puppy goes too high the whole city has to look out. The flood forecaster is now looking at North Dakota and has upgraded us to a 1996 level flood. which would be the 4th worst in the last 100 years and the 6th worst in known/estimated history.
