I have visited with a special man, Co Kilkenny resident Pat “Patsy” Gibbons and his sweet pet foxes Grainne, Minnie and Henry. You can find their story in this article. I am going to see them again in summer.
Kindness in his eyes is flowing over straight to your heart. Every creature would feel safe in his protection.
It is OK to visit, but keep your numbers small (2-3 people), and bring a couple of chicken legs with you:)
Tip of the day: Taking pictures of your pets focus on the eye. Long hair sticking around the eyes can catch the focus and make the picture blurred, so make sure you try different angles.
I am not sure why I did not leave a comment before on this. I had pushed like already. Probably pressed for time, as all of us are, from time to time.
Inese, your photos of Pat or Patsy were so true and clear. The way his eyes look, you are right. He is a gent l e and kind soul. Thanks for sharing, off to answer my brother’s questions about my visit this past long weekend. Smiles, Robin
Thank you so much for your comment, Robin! Pat is kind to every creature, even to the humans 🙂
Inese
He absolutely have the friendliest eyes I have seen in a long time:) And the foxes seem to love him!
He truly does, Inger. All the creatures of the house love him.
You’re so right about the kindness in his eyes — and the foxes have so much intelligence in theirs! Lovely post.
Thank you for stopping by! I might see him again soon:)
Patsy does have kind eyes. The foxes are beautiful.
They live in a clean spacious shed, and are well fed, and have a walk every day. His house and yard are spotless, and he also has some ducks and hens and dogs:) A happy family, lucky red haired fellas:)
Very lucky, indeed. I was also going to add that the fox look healthy, too. Finally got to read article. Very nice article on Patsy.
Very healthy, even Henry who was very sick and badly injured when found. Cannot wait to see them again:)
Looking forward to your photos! 😉
Thank you! And to your beautiful photos too!
You’re welcome and thank you! 🙂
Wow, lovely photography! Definitely captured the beauty of those foxes
Thank you for stopping by! They are really sweet, I will see them again soon, in July. They are lucky to find a good home and protection.
Great portrait of wonderful eyes and then FOXES! Really something! Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for your comment Hattie. Hope to see Pat again in summer and take more pictures. Have a great day!
You have wonderful eyes, too, and I’m 100% Irish. So there! I have a music video filmed in Ireland. If you are so inclined, search youtube “Hattie Wilcox Hands Around My Neck.”
Wow, i will! I have been living in Ireland since 2002. Have seen most of the country. My daughter lives in the USA and she is fascinated with everything Irish too. Now heading to Youtube:)
Love your music, and you have a beautiful all-Irish voice too. Will follow your blog and youtube!
Glad you liked it. I’m following you, too. Best. Hattie
Very good!
Thanks:)
