The White House is going to war with another fox — and this time, it’s personal.

The Wall Street Journal reports that a red fox has been causing chaos around the White House, tripping security alarms, digging up Michelle’s garden and distracting the president from his duties.

The Secret Service won’t give any details about how often the fox trips the White House’s obviously sophisticated security alarms, but rest assured, officials say, they’re watching.

President Obama was apparently “stunned” to see the fox roaming freely down the oft-photographed White House colonnade, home to the world’s shortest, but most dramatic, outdoor strolls.

The bushy-tailed visitor first made his appearance at the White House just before the October government shutdown, the Journal’s Carol Lee reports.

Are they sure it isn't Putin in disguise?

"Michelle's garden" - into which she never sets foot, leaving all the maintenance to the National Park Service.

I'm sure a fox is just dying to get into someone's garden to eat up all the vegetables.

You'd be surprised. They can screw up a garden in no time at all.

They are rather fond of some vegetables - especially carrots and courgettes for some reason. Unlike dogs, they bury their scat, which means digging. Their urine is highly corrosive to plants, as is the scent markers they spray. And the bastards love digging holes at random in well tilled soil to make their beds.
