Little Cat Feet

"The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over the harbor and city on silent haunches, and then, moves on." - Carl Sandburg

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Nice Doggie

Our suburb west of Minneapolis has lots of wetlands, ponds, lakes and natural areas running all through it. It's not unusual to see deer, foxes, raccoons, possums and such come into the neighborhoods.
Well, at dusk yesterday Mom was driving past a wooded area that butts up to a big medical research facility while heading over to a friends house.
As she was looking out the window, she could see a little ahead of her a medium size doggie trotting along the sidewalk.
She thought to herself, "Oh look, he's taking himself for a walk. Sure hope he knows where he's going, it's gonna get cold tonight."
As she came alongside him and got a better look, she realized "That's no doggie, that's a coyote!"
Nice doggie.......just finish your walk and go back to the woods!

I was chased by a coyote and his girlfriend early one morning in my park in Albuquerque when I was an orphan! Yikes...It was good I was close to a tree and was such a good tree climber! Coyotes are scary...very very scary *shudder*

We haven't had any wildlife like that around here, thankfully. Just hawks!

We have those around here too - that is one of the many reasons we do not get to go outside unless we are on our harnesses with mom, or in our stroller.

I've never seen one myself, but in some of the less citified parts of San Francisco have coyotes from time to time. All I ever see are pigeons.
