I'm so excited to get this lovely lady on camera, take a peek at her front left leg. Now there's a couple things that could have happened from a break healing wrong, to it getting caught in a trap at some point, my money is on a birth defect judging by the size. We may never know what happened, however we can see how amazing animals are when it comes to adapting. She's able to get around all on her own, she even ran when she got spooked, she's clearly not skinny in the least so she's done well finding food. I just think it's so neat.
With all that said, I'd like to welcome Ashton to our group of critters
Something kind of like that happened to me. I took in a stray dog that I thought was just a husky mix but she turned out to have a bit of coyote in her.
She likes chairs and couches.
She is very cute, also thank you for introducing me to the concept of a coydog/dogote, which logically makes perfect sense but I'd never really stopped to think about before.
facebook keeps recommending this page called the "Maine Wolf Coalition" to me and like...it is WILLFUL ignorance that keeps these people calling some of the animals they capture on trail cameras as "possible wolves" or "suspected wolves" or "unknown canines".
like 99% of the animals they post are eastern coyotes to a tee.
Me: ...and so with the repopulation and slow eastward migration of North American Gray Wolves, including so called "casanova wolves," combined with coyote breeding preferences sometimes resulting in the choice of a wolf as a sire instead of another coyote, it's not unlikely the Eastern Coyote, already more properly described as a coy-wolf, will have its overal genome recieve a greater influx of wolf DNA, resulting in them becoming large enough to threaten hog populations in areas too hot for Gray Wolves which will inevitably-
Wife: I'm not certain if I love you anymore, I don't know when it started or how to fix it but I can't find what I once felt for you in myself anymore.
