Any fox herders here?

So,
I've come to recognize in my experience of 64 that there is an aspect
of getting over an initial failure and continuing on toward the goal.
So when a fox wets its tail does it run back to where it came from?
(Losings its resolve to cross the river)
Hilary recently mentioned to me on a private forum that she had found a news article about the number of foxes found drowned in rivers. So if foxes do often drown in rivers, she was saying it adds much more seriousness to the foxes in Yi.
Ah just re checked what she wrote. The foxes died because their wet tails had frozen solid to the ice so if not rescued they would drown.
I think to try to make a crossing at the wrong time can be disastrous
O
when haste makes waste. I.

This is a story of a river-crossing fox that had to be rescued because its wet tail was frozen solid to the ice. Most of the fox is plush, dry and fluffy; only the tail is wet. It must have been weighed down by the water, dragged along the ice, and frozen on. The fox, trapped on the disintegrating ice, would surely have drowned if not rescued. (Foxes are sometimes found dead in frozen rivers.) We should take seriously the plight of the fox 'not continuing to the end' (Tuanzhuan).

I wonder if foxes in particular have a perception problem with icy waters.
if i recall, it was Bruce that once said 64 was about seeking the help of an expert.
So, i wonder if the difference between our metaphor fox friend and a person is that a person can keep on trying until they get it right, until they actually cross the river.
Thanks for your responses everyone.
I guess what i really wanted to talk about was the unfinished business aspect of 64:
getting over unsuccessful attempts: until one actually crosses the river or bridge.
there is a line that "appears" gradually , but actually its already done.
