Ask A Ravenclaw

Peck flies in, with Foxy ::wagwagwagging:: at his heels.

::Person! We gots letter!::

::Foxy help answer!::

Soprano1 takes the letter and strokes Foxy's soft white fur as she reads:

Dear Soprano1,

How do you train an Arctic Fox?

Love,

Curiosity killed the fox

Dear Curiosity,

I found the answer in the Tower chat room.  What a funny place to find it, right? 

It involved a pair of beautiful foxes named Nanuk and Delilah.  Here they are:

PorcupineSnuggles of Ravenclaw actually helped train these beauties, as she shared in the chat room the other night:

::’Splain what you would like. Give treats::

Good job, Foxy! That’s exactly what I did! The tricky part was keeping the treats until after fox did what he was supposed to

Do you know, the Foxy School of Obedience is how I trained my dogs. Funny how it only works half the time… and only ever with treats!
