Foxy, photographed in Lauraville. Hour unconfirmed. Schedule unclear.
A Lauraville resident has submitted the following letter to this publication:
Dear Foxy, Are you suffering from insomnia? I have seen you between 8 and 10 a.m. and in the afternoons several times over the past couple months. Why? Do you require a stash of melatonin or magnesium? Are your roommates too loud? How can we help? Regards, A Concerned Neighbor.
The fox has not responded. The Gazette notes that red foxes are crepuscular by nature. A nearby den is possible. An unconventional personal schedule is also possible. The Gazette declines, at present, to speculate on which. The matter remains ongoing.
Vol. 1, No. 1 of this publication referred to Catalpha Road as "Catalpa Road." This was an error. The Gazette regrets it. The orange tom previously reported limping on Catalpha Road has since been sighted on the 5000 block, between Ailsa and Strathmore. He appears to have made a full recovery. He has not commented on either the limp or the misspelling. A neighbor did, at one point, offer the use of a trap. It has not been required.
A resident has called upon the neighborhood to address a crowing bird near Echodale and Gibbons. The species remains unconfirmed. One neighbor believes it to be a rooster. Another has suggested a cockatiel. These are, the Gazette wishes to note, very different animals.
The neighborhood appears divided on whether the sound constitutes a nuisance. One resident stated a clear preference for roosters over sirens. The Gazette takes no formal position on the matter. The bird has not been located. The bird has not been quiet.
A feral cat colony has been established on Pinewood Avenue. It is described by sources as a family. At least one member of the colony has begun following dog walkers along their regular routes. No invitation was extended.
Lady Luminara of Lauraville. Awaiting tidings.
Lady Luminara, a Great Dane of Lauraville, has indicated through her household that she wishes to contribute tidings to this publication. She has not yet done so. The Gazette waits with interest.
Stanley and Gene, on duty.
Stanley and Gene, two orange cats, have been observed monitoring the neighborhood from a window. This is, the Gazette notes, a perfectly reasonable method of gathering intelligence. Submissions may be directed to lauravillepetgazette.com.
