wow i have never seen a silver red fox... I guess they are the ones they talk about having the high fur price when settlers arrived in America till they basically got wiped out. Her colour makes her look totally different to normal foxes...she looks like a different animal, merely cos it looks like she is a different shape from the colour of her fur. (did that make sense) And her beautiful amber eyes, so striking against the darkness of her fur. I could stare at this all day.
I couldn't work out for ages what she reminded me of, than it hit me. we used to have this tiny female all black Kelpie cross dog. She used to work sheep and cows. Anyway, she had this danity face and bushy tail with big brown eyes, and she looks just like she does, here, especially when she got old and started to go grey XD
