Leslie (and Lucise), your pictures always make me smile. Where do you find these things–and so fast? Did anyone post a picture of a navy blue 1985 Monte Carlo yet or did I miss it?

I posted the Monte Carlo the day I wrote the chapter, let me scroll back to find it.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

Just thought I'd check in before bed on the off chance of an update - and I'm glad that I did.  :)

Lovely chapter Louise.

OK. This one shows that Ennis means business!




This is too werewolfy for me---coyotes don't show that much open mouth teeth ( and their teeth are not that big)   unless they are actually fighting with a bigger animal, and Ennis is the biggest animal in this story, he doesn't have to bare teeth like that---he is more of a nipper! LOL

Janice,

I agree. Is that even a coyote? It looks like some ferocious beast, like bigfoot or something.

Part of the problem I have with some of the lone coyotes howling at the moon is that they are just that...lone coyotes. Here we are talking about an engagement, two people together...not apart. But even so, I did like some of the coyote designs that were posted.

L

Actually they usually howl in family packs---the leader starts it, and everyone of the pack members answer, and that is how they comunicate to form their hunting parties, and they  join up and take off, Dominate male, Dominate female and whatever pups young and grown that are still around and haven't split off into mating pairs.   IF the female is denned up with little pups, then the male will hunt alone for family.

And they also will howl to attract a mate, if they are single and have been driven out of the family. Lets everyone in the neighborhood know someone new is around.    We hear them a LOT esp. in the spring and fall, saw one jump out ahead of my horse just last week.

This was meant as a laugh guys! We know that, just like in the fairytale, Ennis' teeth are all the better to nip Ellery with! ;D ;D ;D ;D

PS Perhaps something with guns would suit Ellery.

thanks Jo, for that vote.  London is looking like a good option for me at this point, at least for a short-term situation.
