    That coyote looks pretty well fed compared to some I’ve seen. The ones in our neighborhood eat dogs. Your pet pictures are adorable. I love Brodie with that filter on. It’s like dressing him up for Easter, LOL! Your dad looks really frail, but I love the smile. Talk soon! 🙂 xxxxxxxx

      Thanks, Marsha! I think the coyotes know when the restaurants toss out their garbage! Dad seemed pretty happy to be with his family ❤

    Great photos Terri, though I’m partial to the cats, I love them. I’m a bit afraid of dogs after being bitten badly by one once.

      Thank you, Leanne! I had two cats before I had dogs. When my last one died, I didn’t get another cat. Then we moved to a rural area and I would hate to let a cat out with the coyotes and other critters that like cats.

    Love the dog quote – so true! 🙂 Peaches is cute but that closeup of Brodie really jumps off the page. 😍 Is River a Calico? Lovely markings! We have been invaded by coyotes here. My dog was bitten by one last September, but thankfully, made a full recovery.

      Thanks, Debbie! River is a calico. Her coloring matches my stepdaughter’s granite counters ! I’m glad your dog survived the coyote. I’ve heard some sad stories here, and of course my daughter’s sweet dog died from an attack in 2021.

    I had to smile at ‘Rogues’, Terri. Your post appeared in my Reader back to back with one from Mari Nicholson bewailing the politicians of the day compared with FDR. You can imagine who I’m thinking of, and it’s not one of your lovely pets.

        No, I’ve never seen one in the city or on the desert floor, I suppose they are living at much higher elevations in the Spring Mountains.

        It was wild to see two coyotes so near to urban areas. We rarely see them here at home, but Scottsdale was the bonanza for coyotes this time. I feel sad that many wild animals are being displaced, then get injured or killed.

    Having a hard time leaving comments today. They are disappearing instead of posting. Going to try again.

    That quote is spot on. I have certainly had the very best dogs and I am sure you have, too. Brodie’s adorable. And Peaches is certainly well loved.

    I wonder if coyotes wag their tails–and this one isn’t. Is he frightened? Hmm…

      I would suspect they wag their tails. He was scoping out me and my dog Brodie. I whistled to get his attention…there was a fence between us. They always seem to be in stealth mode.

        We have a few roaming around here. I’ve picked up my dog three times because a coyote was across the road looking at the dog. You know they’re around when you don’t see any turkeys.
