On Safari in Kasted Mose (the moors)

As the freeze goes but spring approaches the wild animals gets more and more visible .... and smellable.... first Eliza wrenched herself out of her harness hot on some unseen scent, seconds after peace was restored and all three dogs safely on leash 8 large deers jumped right across our path - it is amazing to see so many of these large animals and how quickly they can move across the frozen fields. The RRs kept insisting that they DEFINITELY would be able to keep up with the deers - but a kill joy as ever I wouldnt let them but held on to their leashes for dear life. Then a hare hopped by - oh well, I could handle that. But then... as we had gone further into the bog area, enjoying to be able to walk where it is normally far too wet, the dogs noses started coming up in the air, we were approaching the lair of the large red fox who usually tries to raid our chicken coop. This fox KNOWS that the dogs are leashed, and he couldnt care less about them - so we werent surprised when he suddenly sauntered right past us. He is HUGE - and bright orange red, with clear white trimmings, and looks well fed and happy..... probably thanks to the decimation among the neighbourghoods chickens , and - says evil toungues - one or two missing deers. The dogs did their best to let us know that they were quite ready to kill him, thank you very much, but fortunately the leashes held. A few minutes later another 4-5 deers jumped next to us aiming for the same wooded area as the fox had disappeared in and a little later we saw another fox, this time chubbier and very dark red passing by at some distance.
Altogether the "Safari" bagged the sight of probably 18 deers, 6 rabbits and two foxes. Not bad for a walk in right outside your own door step.
And the dogs..... they had a good sleep this afternoon :-)
