Suzi the Coyote

When we were young my friend and me found some baby coyotes in a den. We each took a puppy home.  I was so upset because my dad made me take mine back. He said it was a wild animal.  He said it had ticks and fleas and would grow up and still be wild.

My friend got to keep hers and she called her Suzi.  I was so jealous, that puppy was just like any puppy and a blast to have around. It followed her just like a dog.

When Suzi was about 2 years old she became a coyote again just like dad said she would and started killing sheep, chickens and everything else.  No matter what they tried she continued to kill everything. She still followed everyone around.  They had to have Suzi put to sleep and they mounted her head so they would always have a piece of her.

I was always so glad that my puppy was running around wild and not hanging on a wall. I felt so sorry for my friend and her family as they had loved that puppy.

A short post today as I have to get on the road in the RV today.
