V is for Vixen and Voldemort (for you Harry Potter fans).
The Dictionary has two definitions for Vixen: 1) a female fox; and 2) a spiteful or quarrelsome woman. The Dictionary doesn’t have to define Voldemort, because he is the most evil wizard of all time and we all know that.
I thought I’d compare these 2 V words today and choose a winner. To start off with, let me introduce you to this cute Vixen we met camping last year. Notice a few characteristics of a Vixen: inverted V-shaped ears (lovely), nice pronounced nose (all the better to smell you with, my dear), lovely hair that looks freshly brushed, and a bushy tail that gives it that sexy aura.
Now let us compare that to Voldemort. Notice the differences. Smooshed ears (the V-shape a preschooler might draw), no nose (a little freaky), no hair (but think of all the money he saves at the salon), and no tail (but he does have a deadly wand and isn’t afraid to use it).
The winner is….Vixen!
Noseless freaks that wave around wands when they’re angry make me a little nervous. Vixens don’t. I liked the colors on this one. And doesn’t that tail look cuddly? Much better than a hard magic stick.
If you chose Voldemort as the winner, watch out. He’s not even nice to his supporters, and might let his snake eat you for dinner. Vixen’s don’t do that (at least the ones here in Idaho). ***And in case you’re some super genius biologist and can tell what sex these foxes are from the pictures…and I happened to guess wrong and they aren’t female foxes…keep your comments to yourself. I don’t care if they are male. For today’s post, they are Vixenized!

Whew! When you said you were going to compare vixen and Voldemort, at first I thought you were going to use the spiteful woman vixen. I was bracing for quite the duel. What if the spiteful woman had been scorned? I was not sure who would win.
I much prefer the elegant vixen you chose instead.
Beautiful photo!

Mean girls scare me…and probably Voldemort too (although Bellatrix didn’t seem to intimidate him). That would have been a nasty duel.
It’d be great if “Voldermort” showed up in a dictionary as “a word that should never be spoken aloud.” Not that most dictionaries prank like that.

That would be so funny! You should write and tell them that. That would be a classy dictionary move, I think.
Wow are we on V already! We’re really into the home straight now…
Those little foxes are so cute and fluffy! I’m a little nervous of foxes lately because there have been a couple of incidents in the news over here in recent months of foxes sneaking into houses and attacking sleeping babies in their cribs! (Why would they do such a thing?!) – We don’t really have many dangerous creatures in the UK, so that sort of event attracts much attention.
V is also for “Vanessa” and for “vying,” as in: I’m vying to end Vanessa’s winning streak and get that gift card for myself. Mwahahahaahhaha… 😉
Wow! Totally great V words. 4 more days, and I will have to pick a winner. Might have to get the boy to do it for me–so I don’t get blamed for cheating. (And I think your witch sign is rubbing off on you–because that laugh at the end there was very sinister. Wow.)
Yes, she’s seeping into my pores, I think. I better hang one of the good witch Glenda on another door to balance things out.
Glenda was overrated. But I guess for the sake of balance you can do it. Just don’t let me catch you wearing one of those fluffy good witch dresses Glenda sported.
Um, yeah, I think that’s not likely to happen…
Ooohhh!!! You’re as cunning as a fox! 😉
Wow, aren’t we a little Vindictive, here?
I like to think of it as Vivacious…
That is so Jurassic Park like (kind of like the compys eating the babies in the start of that book–I had nightmares about that one). How are these foxes getting into houses? Are people leaving doors open? I mean a fox can’t just sneak into cracks. They’re like a medium dog. Weird. My foxes have always seemed calm, but I don’t pet them (they have teeth).
Yes, they’re sneaking in when people have left back doors open or whatever. I guess they’re looking for food. I think it’s fairly rare which is why it makes the news.
Crazy!
For me, it always gets back to the hair. A fur-less creature is far less adorable. Voldemort is a perfect example…
And I like things with noses–just my preference.
Godiva.
Foxes, regardless of sex, are about as cute as it gets. Great pics.
They are very photogenic creatures with those tails and cute faces.
I will take those vixens any day over an evil wizard! We have a fair number of red foxes out here, and they are fun to watch when they don’t know you’re there.
These ones must be used to humans, because they walked through our campground day and night and didn’t seem to mind us.
Ha! – rather mess with vixen instead of Voldemort any day and any where!!! Darling vixen to boot too. Great Post – Happy Thursday:)
They are cute little foxes, aren’t they. Voldemort is a well-done villain. So evil he makes your skin crawl (which is weird).
I think it is Voldemort’s face that gets my skin crawling and then goes from there!
Hahah! I couldn’t even look at the Voldemort picture – too scary! I just saw a fox trotting around out here a few days ago and for some reason it really surprised me that it looked so much like a cross between a cat and a dog.
I know. Seriously that wizard is frightening to look at. That’s why I had to throw the pretty fox picture on to rest your eyes.
Vell, this vas a good vexing (apparently, vexing can mean debate and shake up). 🙂 I’d prefer the vixen over the Vold any day.
Ah, you have Very good V words today, Vustin! The Vold gets old, doesn’t he.
This means we’re nearly at the end (it’s gone very fast) 😉
I love that little vixen – much cuter than the other guy (who’s name escapes me for the moment) 😉
Yes, the countdown is getting lower. Yea!
Very cute vixen! I’d love to see her on a Valentine’s card… We’re supposed to have foxes here too but I’ve never seen one. I’ve seen plenty of coyotes though!
A vixen valentine card. That would be perfect. It could say something like: Hey foxy. I’ve got ears for no one but you. (This is why I don’t work for the card companies)
Oh, that would be cute! Did you see some of those greeting cards? Some of them are awful, so trust me, you’d come up with better stuff.
You’re right. Some of them are awful. The fox would be a good one.
I can’t believe I wasn’t here for V-day. I may have just improved the odds everyone else 🙂
(I can’t remember if the rules said you have to comment on the day of … either way, 2 free books are GREAT prizez and I’m still following to the end!)
Now as for that Vixen, what cuties! We saw foxes a lot more when we first moved in but not so much now. Beautiful little animals!
I think it was just comment. With people as far away as Australia, I’m not going to get ticky on days. They’re today might be my tomorrow…or whatever. That confuses me to think about time zones.
