coyote ugly

ok, i'm partly responsible for 'taming' a coyote that lives in the back yard... i put all mice i catch out on the log pile, and w/in 2 days (nights), they always disappear. it's either the woodchuck (groundhog) that lives in the pile, OR a coyote. we saw a coyote snaking up to the pile this morning, and looked at the spot where the mice go to meet their maker. so, say what you will about coyotes, i like having them there. of course, i've never had a lil dog go missing due to them... yet.

ok, i won't try to 'pet' this thing... look what they did to a deer inside our fence 2 summers ago...
