Coyotes

Sunrise before coyote sighting

My sister-in-law and I took the dog back to the riverbed early this morning. Going earlier meant there were fewer off-leash dogs, which was a bonus. But we did see two coyotes, which was fun. A bicyclist had warned us there were coyotes farther down the trail, but we had both forgotten about it by the time we got there. Then my dog gave me his usual "there's a dog there" alert. At first, I thought it was an off-leash dog, but then I saw the second one.

We decided to take the trail exit and go back on the streets. I doubt it would have been a problem — my dog is 65#, which is bigger than even two coyotes are going to take on — but there was no reason to go closer when the exit was right there.

Other fun moment: my not-quite-two-year-old niece tried to eat the dog kibble and got very upset when I took the bag away. (My dog, of course, did nothing. In every interaction with the kids so far, he's been perfectly behaved.)

Pet Picture of the Day

The shelter has kittens that need fostered right now, but I'm hundreds of miles away. Oh well. For now, I'll have to be content with this picture of newly arrived fosters from earlier this year.
