y'know, life has really started looking up since i ran over that coyote last week. perhaps that xed out the black cat that crossed my path the week before.
i was on my way to work - i saw it coming out of the woodline, and started braking but it was TOO fast and TOO ugly (it really was ugly - first coyote i've ever seen) and before i knew it, i felt that awful bump- bump under my wheels. now, i love animals, and was feeling bad about killing anything when smith came in and said - i'll tell you something, broadaway - coyotes aren't like wolves. they don't kill their prey before they eat it. they eat it alive, and start at the guts. and they're sneaky. they'll lure a dog out of its safe place and when it chases one coyote, there are ten more waiting to rip it to shreds.
so i guess i don't feel so bad about it after all, especially since it was so close to home. and like i said...my luck has been nothing but good since.
well...y'all enjoy what's left of the weekend. i'm gonna go play with the word processor and drink tea.

Yeah I've read where coyote's will go for little kids too, they are nothing like a dog...I'd feel worse if it was a wolf run over...coyotes are up there with buzzards. Sandi
Hey, Mara! Thomas says, "I have a sister!"
He hates coyotes and we have them bad around here. He says anytime you kill a coyote you get seven years of good luck! Seriously they are pretty bad. Of course the reason Thomas hates them is because they mess up his deer hunting. They started eating one of his deer while it was still alive. A big 9-pointer!
Hope you continue having a good weekend. I can't remember the name of the diet my sister was on, but I'll check and let you know.
