17. My husband caught a baby fox and brought it home

Almost 50 years ago. We named her Sly and she lived in our living room, and made a den under the recliner. Also in my Mom's jade plant container. My Mom had a St. Bernard puppy, and watching them play was one of the funniest things we ever saw. My husband and I had a claustrophobic dog, who broke through a window while we went to get groceries. Sly got out and we weren't able to catch her. She lived under the porch of the house that summer and then moved on. The last time I saw her, she was sitting on the edge of the porch at sunset, and the way the sun caught her fur, she looked like a flame.
