Coyote Stalking
I tried to get photos of a coyote in our pasture using my telephoto but even with the tele, I couldn’t get enough zoom.

Guess what it’s been doing all week? That’s right, it’s been raining. And the horses have been hiding out. And there has been much wiping of Java paws. The clouds have been pretty interesting. But nothing, not rain, nor sleet, nor snow, stops Java from playing with her branches. But today we are looking at…
Skijoring Crazy, busy day yesterday. I started off right away going skijoring with Java. We went to Elm Creek park instead of Bunker, in hopes that the trails might be in better condition there. With the repeated thawing during the day and freezing at night, the snow has become crusty, icy, and packed. Elm Creek…
I’m not sure what Java got in to, but the other night her lips swelled up huge! She was not a happy girl. I was thinking it must have been some kind of bug bite or sting, although I thought bugs were dead or hibernating by now. Java was scratching her face and ears so…
How to keep the remarkable from turning routine or stale? That’s the question I attempt to answer as I study my dogs’ approach to life.
We were promised a sunny weekend. They lied. But we did have a frosty fairy tale morning on Saturday. I only caught the tail end of the crystal coating As I was in bread and cookie production mode in the early hours. Comfort food… I have ridden Luke twice in the past week. The vet said to do…

Tank heater Bucket heater Kitty water bowl heater And barn pump heater The mud froze into a rough, uneven, twisted ankle hazard. But Java was thrilled to find a new cache of poopsicles.

If only Sadie had a pool that big! She’d be lovin’ life right now, in this heat we are having! Java is so darn cute, frisbee catching, pool swimming addict!
Actually, that was well close enough for me! Yikes!
Very cute pool vid of Java…what a sweetheart!
Yes, my sister in Arizona taught me how dangerous coyotes can be for dogs. I try to keep Java always close to me, but when she takes off after one, all I can do is keep calling her until she comes back. Well, plus some silly chasing (this last time in my slippers) to wrestle that coyote with my bare hands if I have to.
Hey, a coyote’s got to make a living too y’know. I don’t want one close to me or my pets, but they sure are beautiful highly adaptive creatures and I appreciate them on that level.
