Dan Schlotman and Ollie Riker went a-hunting last Tuesday evening in search of eight little foxes Dan had spotted while on his mail route that morning. As they approached the foxes’ den, the pups ran out to meet their mommy, who was just bringing home the groceries. Our gallant huntsmen gave chase and succeeded in capturing one little fellow, which they brought home and fastened in the Schlotman garage.
Reynard Jr., however, decided that he did not wish to suffer a fate worse than death, and so, on Saturday night, he committed suicide by hanging.
When interviewed, all Mr. Schlotman could say was, “Gee, ya shoulda saw the ones that got away!”
