coyote beautiful

Boo saw him first.
I was busy rinsing some plates in the sink when I looked out
and saw what I thought was a dog sniffing around in the snow.
I thought maybe the dog I rescued last week had returned...
Boo was all hissy and when I walked over to the patio door.
.there he was a coyote at the steps of my deck.
This is not a photo of the actual coyote..Of course, my camera was upstairs
but this is what he looked liked...only thinner and injured
His leg was broken and he was eating birdseed and bread that I had just thrown out for the birds.
He was pitiful looking. What should I do? Then he looked up and saw me..those squinty eyes
burning a hole through me....and he hobbled off as quickly as he could.
I put on my coat and grabbed my camera and went out to see if I could find him...but he was gone
What I did find was a whole mess of feathers along the side of the house..that's another story I'm sure
Poor creatures....I'm sure he will die
I still wonder what ever happened to that goose that came on my deck this fall with a broken wing
...my heart breaks a little bit each time

Boo grows up

June 4th, a little 2 week old kitten was put in my hands to care for
and like a good mom I met the challenge
through every two hour feedings
to box training
to introducing him to grown up kitty food
to taking the bottle away from the reluctant baby
I've done my job
...and together we
survived a car crash ...the firemen and paramedics loved him
and he has rewarded me with being the greatest
little joy in my life right now
Oh...and he changed his name.....
used to be Mr. Darcy
but he likes Boo better
thought you'd like to know
how he looks now
