    Shreve – Charlie just keeps getting more gorgeous every year. That is a photogenic guy! I start my day with your blog. It is wonderful to read about and see pictures of your farmily in Wyoming… from my box (office) in Anaheim, CA. The contrast is refreshing and reminds me that there is “real life” out there with fresh air, sun and the smells of grass, fur, snow, hay, etc. Thanks for sharing.

    I rarely have time to go out into the wilderness like I did growing up, so I really appreciate seeing your beautiful pictures of Wyoming, it makes me start to yearn for my childhood visiting realatives in New Mexico

    Thank you for keeping your blog going. I’ve followed you and your adventures with your farmily for a long time now. I check you page every morning at work. Somehow I feel better knowing Charlie and the other critters are enjoying life. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    December 16th, 2013 @ 10:35 am

    So glad I stumbled upon your blog so many years ago. The Farmily was just you, Eli and Charlie. It’s been fun watching it grow! And my two pups would be lost without their elk antler chews!!!

    We received 30 cm of snow yesterday.
    We shoveled, my 5 year-old made his first snow fort and the neighbor was kindly enough to bring his snowplow and finish the entry for us. We plan on bringing him a bottle of wine for christmas to thank him because he always helps us when there’s too much snow (he’s so kind). So in the spirit of kindness, I’m sending you my salutations and merry wishes to you and all your family from me and mine from the colds of Canada.
    Cheers!

    Had some sad news last week, but I’m trying to focus on happy memories and working on creating more instead of remaining upset. Seeing everyone’s fun snow pictures helps since it doesn’t snow here, I haven’t experienced snow since I was a kid so I love seeing pictures of it instead of going “Augh, yucky cold stuff.” Happy holidays to you and the farmily!

    The outdoor Christmas decorations were hung yesterday … a colorful swag around the perimeter fence with twinkly lights braided in; a b-i-g wreath on the trellis. Red ornaments, and a string of cranberries for the birds. Pretty by day and by night. :-)

    Inside? Well – at least I have the decorations out of the boxes they live in most of the year. I’ll deal with those tonight. Meanwhile, pies are getting started and marinades planned. Old bottle of red wine taken out of its resting place and stood upright on the kitchen counter to let the sediment fall out. Packages are all mailed, local presents are wrapped and ready. Christmas is coming!!!!

    Happy, happy holidays to you, Mike and the Farmily!

    Your winter scene photos are greatest….really makes one to wish for “dashing through the snow”…with Charlie & friends (if only, but so happy for having the opportunity spend moments with him through you)

    I’m feeling lucky… maybe a Christmas miracle will happen for me, as I don’t usually win things. But getting a package from Wyoming would be a real treat! And knowing Shreve packed it can only mean awesomeness!

  113. Tanya
    December 16th, 2013 @ 1:07 pm

    I want to dash through the snow too! It doesn’t snow in Portland, though, so I just have to be content with dashing through the rain and the occasional fog.

This Christmas will be the best one so far in my life :) Last Christmas we had a brand new foster baby girl to spoil for the first time in 23 years, and this year she is our daughter not only in our hearts but on paper as well.

    Very Happy Holidays to you, Mike, and the farmily. I feel a little guilty entering after receiving a care package once before when there were caption contests, but it was so wonderfully special I can only imagine what treasures you’ve prepared this time :) You provide a very bright spot in my day every day, thank you for that.

    Wow, this is amazing! I discovered your blog last year and spent countless hours ( many of them at work- oops!) reading all the past posts on this blog and the daily coyote! I also bought your book, and have read it twice :) you are an amazing spirit with a beautiful soul, and I look forward to each new post.
    Best wishes for this holiday season and beyond <3

    I have a hard time reconciling your amazing Charlie with the critters I who give chase on our hikes. Especially the yearling males who seem so lost on their own…half wanting to play and half afraid. Your Charlie has made me see them differently.

    Love the current picture on the blog. Love the “happy Charlie”pic sent last week and just love the way you are staying true to yourself while still letting “us” in to your life.
    You are a wise woman Shreve. I’ve said that to you before and it was several years ago. You just keep growin girl! You rock!
    Thank you for letting us share in your world.

    I have 3 dogs, the newest a rescued pit bull “puppy” (about a year old, we’ve had her two months) – she chews. And chews. And chews. Her favorites are the elk antlers, and neither of the ones I got from you a couple of years ago (for the other dogs) seem to have gotten any smaller from her chewing. It’s amazing. You can’t get better than that, and she is CUTE! (Not as cute as Charlie…)
    Happy/Merry/Bright to you and yours!

    I have just moved back into the house that I grew up in after having lived in the City for several years. Despite the unfortunate circumstances which have called me home, life here has been such a wonderful departure from the constant goings on that surround one living amongst so many.

    My parents house sits on the edge of seemingly endless miles of wilderness (or at least the most untouched land that I have experienced here in California). It is so peaceful to open my windows up late at night and experience what feels like the sounds of the ancient Earth. Wind through the trees, insects and other creatures running about, and when I’m lucky, a beautiful chorus of coyotes. It’s the perfect lullaby, and I can only imagine how beautiful nature must have sounded when you were up on that mountain one summer not so long ago.

    I hope you, the farmily, and Mike have a beautiful winter season. :)

    I have a small farmily of my own and it is not even “calendar winter” yet but I am already sick of hoses being frozes. Lugging buckets of water from the house is not much fun. Somehow I have a feeling you can empathize.

    Do your outside critters love a sip of warm water as much as mine do on a cold day? They act like I have brought them the finest tea.

    I hope you & all your loved ones are well.

    That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going. (A Forrest Gump quote) This beautiful picture reminds me of the movie.

    Just got the notepads – love them! What a great way to use up the leftover and reuse.

    I can’t wait to give my farmily’s new dog, Charlotte, the elk antlers I received from you just last week! She’s a little spaniel/gordon setter mix (well, I’m guessing – she looks just like a gordon setter, but scaled down a bit), and she loves the antlers we already have. The big ones are just a bit too big for her, though. She is going to adore the medium-sized ones!

    We were in Wyoming during the govt. shutdown which necessitated our exploring beautiful Wyoming outside the parks. Absolutely fell in love! We even saw a grizzly bear which was pretty exciting. No wonder you made it your home.

    December 17th, 2013 @ 4:53 am

    Wow Shreve…That picture is just awesome! Talk about Big Sky Wyoming! You could title it ‘What Lies Ahead’. That is a road I would like to follow on an adventure. Love, love, love all the fabulous pics you take. You could do a coffee table book with them! I hope you and Mike and all the farmily have a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all much love, peace and happiness in the coming New Year!! XO Melissa

    Where Does the Dance Begin, Where Does It End?
    by Mary Oliver

    Don’t call this world adorable, or useful, that’s not it.
    It’s frisky, and a theater for more than fair winds.
    The eyelash of lightning is neither good or evil.
    The struck tree burns like a pillar of gold.

    But the blue rain sinks, straight to the white
    feet of the trees
    whose mouths open.
    Doesn’t the wind, turning in circles, invent the dance?
    Haven’t the flowers moved, slowly, across Asia, then Europe,
    until at last, now, they shine
    in your own yard?

    Don’t call this world an explanation, or even an education.

    When the Sufi poet whirled, was he looking
    outward, to the mountains so solidly there
    in a white-capped ring, or was he looking

    to the center of everything: the seed, the egg, the idea
    that was also there,
    beautiful as a thumb
    curved and touching the finger, tenderly,
    little love ring,

    as he whirled,
    oh jug of breath,
    in the garden of dust?

    My dad, who is going on 93, read your book when it was first released. Every Sunday morning I call him. He’s in Cali. We talk about Eckhart Tolle, riding freight trains, wildlife and he always asks me, ‘ has that coyote girl come out with another book yet?’

    Shreve, I love Charlie and I love coyotes-such a misunderstood animal-hunted by all kinds-I love to walk to this area where they are at with my greyhounds just to listen to them…I work at nights, so, after work I take the dogs and walk down to where they are…also, I’ll be on the computer after work and at 5:00 a.m. up pops The Daily Coyote picture of the day…I’ve been with you since Day 1…
    Happy Holidays to Charlie and the other animals and your family- best regards Karen

    You have been an inspiration to me since I first moved west to Colorado two years ago. I live in the unpopulated part of Colorado that the rest of Colorado loves to forget but it has become my home and a source of joy. It is wild there and I love it. Thank you for so boldly sharing your thoughts, hopes, and dreams in The Daily Coyote I’m sure they have inspired many wandering souls to find peace in the uncommon. :)

    Hello from Oklahoma! I read your book and loved it! I have a female Great Pyrenees, Marilyn, that chases a coyote on our land everyday but he (or she) comes back daily for more. I’m beginning to think it’s more of a game between the two! Love your photos!

    The Daily Coyote had made me look at life a little differently. A daily dose of Charlie makes me smile. While I will probably never see a cow as beautiful, I do find them far more interesting. Chickens are funny (I’ve always thought they were, but they’re even better when they have names!) and Eli rules the world, with his kitty minions. :) Keep it up, Shreve! And thank you.

    A Doorway on Boylston Street

    There’s a certain doorway on Boylston Street that I passed by on foot, suited and shod,
    one of many each Tuesday,
    toward lunch with a certain woman,
    regarded each Tuesday by the perfect turning gaze of a white Persian,
    regarding me, love-bound and sped by desire,
    and returning to the certainty of his fur.

    I started following The Daily Coyote blog back in 2009, then in 2010 bought your book which I scoured through in 2 days. It’s been a lot of fun watching not only Charlie grow but the farmily grow, and also see how much you have expanded the past 4 years! Hope this festive season finds you and your farmily well and cheers to another amazing year to come!

    It’s a beautiful day in Central Wisconsin, temps in the 20’s, soft fluffy snow, perfect for snowshoeing, which I did and felt like I was in a Christmas Card setting in the woods! Love seeing animal tracks in the fresh snow:) Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season to you and Mike, Charlie, Chloe, Eli and the whole family crew!

    You are truly a soul sister and have been for years. In fact, some recent opportunities may be bringing me closer to your neck of the woods in the next year or two, and I believe we will meet face to face. We have so much in common and I love following your website and being inspired. Thank you for having the specific type of motivation it takes to get yourself out there – so that all of us soul friends can feel connected. Must be strange to know that so many people feel like they know you, and you have no idea who so many of them are! Have loved watching your progress over the years, and loving the pathways of this intertwining web. Hoping my Sweet Jane (12 years old, Carolina, born wild) will still be in this skin to meet your Charlie. Walk in love, sister.

    I had this crazy, vivid dream last night I was walking through your town with a friend and saw you napping on one of your cows/bulls and Mike was in a stall near you petting another, seemingly Daisy. Did that happen yesterday?

    Oh Shreve! I snuggle up in my Magic Armchair, open your blog, and crawl into your life! I walk among the chickens, bovines, cats and garden. I pretend to be brave enough to climb on a moped and drift across the highways…meet a real cowboy (who is still around) and carve out an extraordinary-down-to-earth homestead. What photos! What WORDS!!!!! They truly are honey to the soul. Thanks for sharing all your specialness! Thank you for lighting up so many lives! Walk tall and proud.

    Well, I was wearing cheery fuzzy antlers while gathering kindling on my property and came back antler-less. This morning one of our dogs started barking madly at a manzanita tree at the back of the doggy run, and sure enough there they were: antlers swinging from the lower tree branches!!

    I’m so grateful that you’re willing to share photographs of Charlie and your beautiful surroundings and musings on your own personal journey. I can see how you couldn’t resist the siren call of such a beautiful place, although most of us wouldn’t have been brave enough to act on the impulse to stay. I love to settle in at my desk in the morning after a stressful commute and check in with your blog to see what’s new in your corner of the world. Thanks so much!

    Will look for the print I requested in the store maybe next week.

    Your photos create in me a yearning to journey until there is no more red brick, no more grey concrete, no more black asphalt, no more glass reflecting the sun, the sky, the street lights and head lights of cars passing by; but only open sky, clouds that drift by, ground that moves with the wind, rock shaped by water, and wind, and time.

    Shreve,
    I’ve noticed over the years that most of your commentators are women. That’s O.K.
    But I want to remind you that here is a man, 82 years young, who has been with you since Charlie was a pup. And as a native Wyomingite, welcome to the greatest state, the greatest scenery, the bluest sky (the deepest snow!) anywhere.

  460. Jacqueline

    Thank you for all your hard work. You are an inspiration to me! I wish I could have your kind of life, even though I know it’s quite hard sometimes. You’ve thrived in Wyoming and it’s been a joy to see over the years. PS. My dog still loves his new elk horn chews. I gave him one for Christmas and saved one for later.

    your traffic, you can earn extra cash every month with new monetization method.

    This is the best adsense alternative for any type of
    website (they approve all sites), for more info simply search in gooogle: murgrabia’s tools
