Well, that was an odd one, was just passing under Teddington bridge, and continue along towards Kingston when I came across a slightly perculiar sight. Two foxes bottom to bottom staring at me. I stopped and after a split second they decided to run away in different directions, however they were, well, conjoined. Ended up running sideways for a few seconds until they finally untangled and went their different ways. Was this some sort of odd mating thing? I would have thought foxes mount as per every other four legged animal ...
Quite comical though.
Few minutes later passed a bloke, 100 metres later his dog ran out in front of me. I braked heavily, turned back and told the bloke what happened. He apologised and then I suggested he met the rules of the shared path and keep the mutt under control. It was at this point he started swearing. At this point I mentioned a leash would be more appropriate for him. Anyway, didn't come to blows, but if it had I'd have just picked his dog up and chucked it in the Thames. (probably not really, I'd have punted it in). 😉

Funnily enough, conjoined quadrupeds was a topic of conversation that I had with a colleague. It was quite a common sight when I was a nipper with local dogs and [censored] engaged in this strange tug of war ritual. This post coital phenomenon probably isn't as common as it used to be because there are fewer dogs allowed out to roam the streets. I've not seen the phenomenon for the past thirty years or so. I was certainly asked about it in 1984 in my first year of science teaching: 'Sir.....why do dogs get stuck together?.....snigger....'. 'Animal magnetism.' says I neatly sidestepping the trap and introducing major scienctific misconceptions amongst some of the sexually naive pupils.

"Eventually, they mate. As soon as the pair have finished mating, they 'lock', a behaviour unique to the dog family. The vixen contracts onto the male's penis, and he lifts a hind leg over her back, leaving them standing back-to-back for up to an hour or longer."
Hope I didn't interrupt too quickly ... Still, a silly place for them to lock for an hour or so. I'd suggest they get a room.

It's more a case of the dog's penis expanding. Knotting together like this is his way of making sure his sperm get a good head start before disengaging and letting the [censored]/vixen go on her way to attract another mate. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

They had just mated. I've only ever seen it once, when my dog took advantage of a passing [censored] on a public beach about 35 years ago. Luckily the owner of the other dog wasn't about at the time.

Not only that, they were thinking "typical, another perv on a bike, how would you like it if we came to watch you post shag?" --

A photo can be found by doing a Google Image search for "mating foxes". It appears that the technical term for the mating of foxes is "yiffing". There's a Wikipedia article on "yiff" which begins

Hmmmm ...
Indeed. I can just imagine an actor playing an anthropomorphic fox in a Walt Disney production needing to know about "yiffing" :-)
