Foxie rarely ventures onto Young’s Hill (or anywhere, for that matter), without a doll or two. The other day she took a troll and a Dora the Explorer doll on a walk around the hill. Having a doll in each hand slowed her down a little, but she didn’t seem to mind.
Foxie has a ritual when she receives a new doll or one she particularly likes. First, she holds it out in front of her and gazes at it adoringly.
Then she brings it in close to her chest.
In this photo you can see the bright green grass that has grown in toward the top of the hill since the Taylor Bridge wildfire burned through the grounds of the sanctuary a few months ago.
Foxie likes to take Doll Friends for a stroll!
Seeing pictures of Foxie with her Trolls and Dora the Explorer dolls is bittersweet. I love that she enjoys them so much, and can carry them with her, but I feel sad for her not having the chance to raise her babies. Her strength, and resolve to enjoy life (with a troll or dolly close by) makes me admire her so much. Love you Foxie. xoxo <3
Adorable! Nice to see the grass growing back too.
Hey, what’s on the list for Christmas this year?
oh!!!!
How precious she is, with the courage to go outside, babies in hand.
What a good and loving mother. She would have been a very attentive caregiver to her children if she had been allowed to raise them.
