# About me
Sorry, I've been without internet lately due to the only ISP in my area going out of business! :( I'm in the process of moving right now. I was shocked to find 869 unread messages! Thank you all for your kind comments and concerns about me disappearing. As soon as my move is complete, I'll be posting new stuff! :D
Hi. Thanks for viewing my page! My gallery includes photos, traditional art and digital drawings of a wide variety of interests, including foxes and other animals, my original species the draux, My Little Pony, fantasy, gothic and dark images, people, fan art, or whatever appeals to me at the time. Occasionally, I also have the desire to do a sculpture, photo manipulation or some other piece of work which are in the miscellaneous folder of my gallery.
I have always loved art in all forms and am always trying to improve my work.
Any comments, tips, and/or constructive criticism is always greatly appreciated and I try to respond to every comment. Thank you!!

Hi! This is tooootally random but I was cleaning up my bookmarks and found your old elfwood gallery which lead me here. I'm pretty sure we did a trade at some point (like...through the mail if you're the person I'm thinking of)

I simply love your foxes, while many are against keeping them as pets I know they have been bred in captivity for generations (sadly for the fur trade) which for all accordances qualifies them as domesticated. I myself had the pleasure of raising an orphaned red fox as a child, there is not experience like it! I look forward to more foxy pics in my inbox!

Hey!
I adore your foxes!
Just wondering, do arctics make good pets, because I always hear fennec breeders say that they aren't as friendly as fennecs, but I always thought it just depends on how you raise 'em?

Foxes are not pets. No one has the right to keep them as such.

Thank you! Arctics aren't one of the best species for pets but aren't bad. I look at the overall features of each individual species. Arctics are a little more solitary and skittish, plus they are kinda stinky like red foxes. They are gorgeous and do make fine pets if properly raised by the breeder and well socialized by their new family. I've had experience with red, ranch (marble, silver, etc), gray, arctic, fennecs and swifts (to a lesser extent). Out of all of those I strongly prefer gray foxes as pets.

Thanks for replying, most peoples attitudes are that they are the only ones qualified to keep foxes! I may nmot be perfect, but I do love them.
May I ask, are they all so expensive as fennecs? Most seem to be in the thousands, and for me, that plus import costs plus getting a pen built would just be too much
All of your foxes are so beautiful! The smell wouldn't bother me, were I to have a fox it would prob have a large pen for excersise and a converted shed for its nest. When supervised it could have free run of the house.
Thanks for all your help!

Thank you. You'll get a lot of attitude from people about having a pet fox. It's unfortunate, but it's because most people are miseducated or uneducated about it.
Fennecs are one of the most expensive fox species there are. Our red foxes start at $200. You also must keep in mind legality, costs of permits, housing, importation, health certificates, and other costs, though.

I know, I have a pet Belgian Hare. They're just a breed of rabbit,but they look a fair bit like hares (as close as I could get! ), but for people who don't even bother to check, I'm frequently told about how I know nothing about animals (Oh the irony!!) & how he belongs in the wild (I don't see them setting free their pets). Juniper my hare lives in a giant hutch & run, and gets to roam the house & garden freely, & eats better than I do, he's perfectly happy. I have LOADSA pics of him if you wanna see, in my gallery.
Don't worry, I'm not just doing this out of boredom, or a girly squeeling moment of "cuteness!!". I actually do love animals. I was planning on maybe converting our garden shed into a den/playpen for the fox, and buliding a run outside for it when the weather is good, sort of like the ones people get for dogs (but more escape proof, I think I heard chainlink isn't fine enough??). Does that sound okay?
I'll look into the more legal matters of importing & such, but I'm sure you don't need a lisence for a fox here. I'll let you know when I find out more

Send one to all your friends who you think
deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the
person who sent it to you)!!
You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!
If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you,
and they wish you'd stop bugging them!
If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find
more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to
be friends
If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a
good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself!
That's cheating!)
If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good
friend.
If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly
loved as a friend!!
