Living in coyote country (aren't we all?) its both sad and humorous when pet owners write our little paper wondering who could be so cruel and to steal a cute little puppy from their yard...or plaster the neighborhood with lost puppy flyers....when the hapless pet, the owner left out at night, is already reconstituted into fertilizer for the abundent sage around town.

Once drove to the post office to post some bills at 11PM and there between the drive up mailboxes was a coyote sitting back on his haunches looking up at me as if I might feed him as I drove by.
