Fox E

DDDG loves an opportunity to wear her fur boots. So, when her friends came in town from Czech Republic to compete in the Freestyle World Cup, she pulled out the boots and we headed up to the competition.

One of the little Czech girls was consumed by the sight of the boots. “Is that real?” she asked. “Yes, it’s rabbit,” DDDG replied. “What happened to the rest of the rabbit?” she asked. “We ate it,” DDDG told her. “Nice way to break it to her gently,” I told DDDG.

DDDG introduced me to her friends and they advised me my name was similar to another furry friend, liška – a fox. Add an ‘e’ to the front and you’ve got me, Fox E. Unlike an actual fox, I’m not so wary of humans and the Czechs and I quickly became friends.

We went to their home for dinner and immediately started drinking. “This is how it goes all of the time with them – very European,” DDDG advised me. I hadn’t tried Czech beer, so they insisted I do so. They had a brand new bottle of scotch whisky and were leaving the next day, so they insisted we all drink that. Then, they had four bottles of wine, which also had to be consumed, so we drank that too. With my beer, scotch whisky and wine in front of me they informed me I looked, “very European.”

When DDDG and I finally left the house, leaving behind great friends and several unfinished beverages, they bid us farewell and stated they hoped to see us in Europe soon. We also hope to see them in Europe soon – if DDDG can get her rabbit boots and Eliška through customs, we’ll be there in no time!
