I'm pretty sure that was not a dog running down my street at 6:30 this morning.
About a month ago, I saw a raccoon, lounging like the Cheshire cat in the one tree adjacent the Safeway parking lot.
Not too uncommon, but a coyote?!?
the short version
- owlhouse
- seattle
- We took the time, a year of digging potatoes, dancing in celebration of strangers' birthdays, composting the French-intensive way and camping amongst the rocks. And after the Hare Krishna chants, Barack Obama encounter and mountain lion biology, it seems that we should come home with some fantastic epiphany. We're working on it. We'd do it all again, but for now, our adventures lie in the trials and triumphs of re-establishing our Seattle lives... Bakery and book suggestions are always welcome.

Maybe keep Cutie in at night!
True, true, Tom. But generally I recognize them as such and THIS appeared to be a real, authentic coyote.
Turns out, a friend of mine a few blocks away saw two coyotes the very next day. Which makes me feel slightly less crazy... ;)
Actually, we're training Cutie to out -smart, out-run, out-climb the coyotes.
One, because he really values his freedom and might have Saturday night plans.
Two, because we're considering turning our yard into a coyote sanctuary, which we suspect would curb the squirrel issue. The menacing fluffy tails are wreaking havoc with their digging and scampering. They're out of the attic- now feasting on bulbs, crushing winter pea sprouts. And, I'm pretty sure they've struck a deal with the vampires- ensuring the failure of next year's garlic crop.
Evil squirrels.
