The other night we went walking at our usual place, the Black Mesa Golf Course. About halfway around the loop, we realized it was getting pretty dark. All of a sudden Kip stopped and pointed. Of course I can't see very well...especially in low light...but finally I saw a group of coyotes trotting along, about to cross our path--about forty feet ahead. We just stood there and watched them...Two adults and three juveniles. The last one, who was one of the adults, stood in our path for a while and stared at us. Finally that last coyote trotted up the ridge. We could still see them and the one kept looking back at us, like making sure we weren't going to follow. So cool. I love those animals. Wasn't it horrific to hear about this man who let all of those tigers and lions and bears loose and then shot himself? Why are people so stupid? Did he know they would all get shot by cops?? Such a waste.
