Daily Coyote

Some time ago I stumbled upon this site, the Daily Coyote, and I've been a steady visitor ever since.

Here's the envelope sketch: rancher finds a coyote pup whose mother has been shot and killed. Rancher adopts pup and raises it. It's an uplifting story about a relationship between species.

Kink approves and I relate. Kink was separated from his mother at an early age and we have lived with him for nearly two years. Kink is not "just a cat," rather he's an integral part of the family. He's part of the fabric. If you take the time to observe these young critters, and I mean REALLY spend the time to observe, you discover that we have a lot in common. Quite a lot.

Here's Charlie.



The Daily Coyote is a nice, laid back site full of photographs and stories about Charlie's upbringing. Other characters, like the Cat, figure into the narrative, too.





You can buy Shreve's book on Amazon here.

I read Daily Coyote almost daily and subscribe to her free weekly photo email. She's got a macho cat Cli and a semi-new pup Coco in addition to the utterly adorable Charlie the coyote. And she's a good writer too!
