She was on CNN this morning, and they interviewed the folks camping near where it occured, Prescott AZ, I think.

The campers were kinda comical- they wondered what all the hubbub was about........

That had to look peculiar to anybody else in the parking lot. Girl jogs up. Fox latched onto arm. Opens trunk. Throws fox in. Gets into car. Drives off. I know I'd be doing a double-take if I saw that one unfold.

Yeah. Anyone who has the presence of mind to want to keep the animal so it can be tested for rabies...well, she's tougher than me. I probably would've run away screaming like a little girl (no offense to little girls). wink [/quote]

Having worn the "bite sleeve"and fought trained German Shepherds, I PROMISE this was no easy task.

One only has to look at my hands and arms to see where the dog got the wrong arm.

We had two GSDs start fighting at the same time my DD came out to pet the dogs. (age 3 at the time) I dove between her and them while DW took her inside. 52 puncture wounds later (36 of those major), I learned NOT to have two dominate (alpha) females in the same yard. Even if only dog sitting one for three days.

Kudos to this lady for toughing it out, but maybe a can of postman's mace could be fit onto he MP3 carrier.

THANK GOD, NO!

She makes me look like a crying wimp (no offense to wimps grin )!

The vet I used to work for described a multiple-month rabies outbreak in CA when he worked there. It gave me the heebiejeebies galore! He said the rabid cats were the worst.

There was an outbreak in upstate NY in the early 90's. Players included a child attacked by a rabid otter, a couple of raccoons and foxes, and a farmer exposed to transmission by cow drool. It was sorta interesting for a while-we were using a 3 shot series of vaccinations as I recall. Note to Benjammin-the injections do not hurt as long as you hold still while we screw them in-

I knew that it couldn't have been Sue. If it were her, the article would have said something about the woman using a road flare to chase off the rabid fox (the same flares that she can't carry in her work vehicle), and then using the lit flare to cauterize and sterilize her bite wounds so that she would be safe from rabies. Now that would've been Sue! wink
