The things we do for animals!

This post is completely true, I write that because my day sounds as if I have made it up!
On Sunday the fox man came to our house with a fox trap as we have a very mangy dog fox resident in our garden which is looking very ill.

The plan is to catch him in the trap and remove him to our local vets who, once treated will take him to the wildlife hospital just down the road to recover then he will be released back into our garden.

Sunday night was windy, so Monday morning when I got up to look in the trap I found it closed and empty, the mechanism must have been triggered by the wind. I reset it Monday evening then went to bed as usual.
This morning my husband brought a cup of tea up to me in bed and said "You caught something in your fox trap last night!"
Grabbing my dressing gown I ran down stairs and carefully opened the front door walking to the trap I saw a petite tabby cat, Meowing sadly at me.
I don't know when he got trapped but he had eaten all the food we put out for the fox and had managed to vandalise the trip mechanism haha. I made a fuss of him as I let him out, he didn't blot just walked sedately out of the garden as if to say "Nothing to see here"!

Back indoors, tea finished animals fed and watered and the gardener arrives to mow the grass.
I went out to do my horse, when I came back I look out at the lovely tidy grass and notice a hedgehog snuffling about, they shouldn't be around during the day and her body seemed to be an odd shape so I went to take a look.. Poor thing had either a huge tumour or an abscess, it was half her body size!
Finding the pet carrier I stick her in it and drive down the the Wildlife hospital, who say she has to go straight to the vets to be operated on, then they will take her for her recovery and then she can be returned to the garden again.
Do wild animals come into our garden when they are sick because they know I am a soft touch and will take them to the vet or what!?
