A couple of years ago our son bought a very expensive pair of shoes from a small shop in Canterbury. However, his disabilities made them too heavy for him to wear and his stroke last year made him realise he would never wear them - so he gave them to J for the garden.
The conservatory door was open for a short time this evening and when J decided to go down to the shed he was surprised to find the shoes missing from the doormat.
When he got down the garden his torchlight picked them up and he knew the fox had taken them (every time he chases him off or throws a clod of earth at him he pays us back with some deposit - or stealing something.)
J picked up the shoes - and thought they smelt remarkably foxy, but when he got by the door he realised that Foxy had peed inside both of them!!! - they are now wrapped up and in the dustbin!

Now that's what they call a sly fox. Thank goodness you wrapped them up as you never know who goes through the garbage these days. xx
When we put our bins out the front people DO go through them looking for personal info! perhaps we should have left the shoes unwrapped as our revenge!
Keep well Jill and enjoy the coming festive season. Grey, damp weather here at present - hoping for winter snow even though this country copes so badly with even the smallest flurry XXX
Do you think the squirrel dared Mr Fox to take the shoes,then hid to watch Js reaction I am sure it would make a great story.Reminded me of Peter rabbit in the veg patch. Sorry the shoes were ruined.
Love

I think you could be right! normally the fox scatters things far and wide, but the shoes were quite close together near the chicken run - where he has been chased off many times - certainly where they could be found! XXX
