Charlie is Twelve!

☆ April 9, 2019

The happiest coyote I know is having his happy birthday this week!

And so am I. We’ll be sharing a New York steak.

To be honest, my best birthday present ever is Charlie.

    Wishing you both a very happy, healthy and fully pleasurable birthday and many more like it! Enjoy!
    I certainly have loved learning a bit about coyotes and a way of life so very far and different from my own; so thank you!

    It has been a dozen years already? I can hardly believe it. You and Charlie have given so many people inspiration and happiness, following your amazing journey through life. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous photos of Charlie and your life – and wishing you both many more happy birthdays together! (I’m the gal who was bitten in the butt by a coyote in Banff Springs, Canada, when I was hunkered over, photographing a rock! Of course, I forgave him but it was rather frightening!)

    Wow. A steak. No coyote ever had it that good.

    Is he getting his raw or grilled?

    Happy Birthday Charlie and Shreve! What wonderful gifts you both were for one another — gifts that keep on giving!! And big shout out to Mike for saving Charlie and delivering him to you, his new neighbor in Wyoming. Who could have predicted where you’d all be these 12 years later?? Can’t wait to share the rest of the journey with you ~

    Ten years ago I read Daily Coyote every day. I was blogging then. Things change and work shifted and I hadn’t read about Charlie for years and then came back today. Seeing how he is doing well was like seeing photos of a long lost pet. I am so glad you take care of each other.

    OMGosh! Charlie is 12 years young! And we all have had the pleasure of watching him grow up to be the most handsome and happy coyote on this planet. Thanks to you and Mike for all the care and love you give him and to the rest of the farmily. Shreve, have a wonderful birthday yourself. Like they say, Life is short. Buy the dress; take the trip; eat the cake (or steak…). Many more healthy and happy years to you both!
