I saw a Coyote catching some sun in my neigbours yard yesterday afternoon when I was taking the dogs out. Funny enough, neither dog seemed concerned of its presence. And the coyote just kept relaxing in the sunshine.

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Pretty picture!
I've spent a week now trying to get a shot of the black squirrel that is here. So far the ones I've taken aren't very good. :oops:

It's cool to be able to see both animals! They had a lot of black squirrels back in Lansing, MI when I lived there eons ago. Haven't seen them since...

That coyote's face makes me think of a fox :mrgreen:

No-it's real, but now that a have a new camera to play with the little bugger hasn't shown up again when I'm watching for him. I love the black ones, they are rare here, sure hope the hawks don't get him!

beautiful! He looks so happy basking in the sun :)
I have many black squirrels near me, and most of the locals amuse themselves by feeding them so they are about as large as housecats :shock: I've seen a few that have issues climbing fences because they are so... round. There is also a piebald and albino squirrel population not far from me.

I had a close encounter with this same Coyote on Sunday. We do off leash walks on the trails behind my house on the weekends (or during the week once the sun is up long enough after work). So Diesel and Halo ran down the trail and as I was catching up, I see Mr. Coyote running after them. I start running and once the coyote sees me, he turns and runs away and then stopped to determine if I was really a threat. Once he stopped I kept chasing him until he trotted off into the bushes. This whole time, the dogs are too busy playing with each other to notice the Coyote. I really don't think the Coyote would stand a chance against my dogs, but if there had been a pack of them it would have been a different story.
I suspect one of my neighbours is feeding them because I see them so often and I hear them almost every night. :evil:

People are so clueless about feeding wildlife. Glad it wasn't a pack situation!

That's crazy, they are wild for a reason... People are clueless. Not to mention they get used to humans and the food they give. Then people get scared and decide not to feed them anymore.

Some people feed even alligators which are usually afraid of people and are present in every body of fresh water around here, then wonder why they show up in their back yard or pool :mrgreen:
