Oct 13, 2011: Coyotes!

On this morning's hydro corridor walk, we saw two coyotes! Thurmon was bounding about in the long grass when he flushed two coyotes out. You could tell that he instantly knew they were not dogs - he barked excitedly and didn't budge from my side - whereas with dogs he never barks and runs right up to meet them. The coyotes couldn't have cared less that he was there - they trotted off across the mowed path and on their way, never looking back. Meanwhile I leashed Thurmon up and we left in the other direction - Thurmon kept barking, yet moving quickly along with me - he didn't try to go back to chase them or check them out. What a wild encounter!
