"Yes son, even the ones that accidentally get into their garbage. Now you 7 go outside and play!"

We quietly set the cam trap on the culvert den at near 5pm, but the puppies didn't start seriously piling out until 7pm, as it was getting dark.
21 hours later, the batteries in the camera were dead. And probably warm to the touch.
What I foolishly thought would be a daily diary of a coyote family growing up over several weeks, turned into 917 photos of puppies playing and playing and playing and playing. And playing.
But I'm not complaining. Have you seen anything cuter???
They can fall asleep on my arm any time. Might even let them chew on it a little.

oh, they're precious. the coyotes here are thick, and have tried to take some of my big dogs. one year, 2 of my hounds killed 2 of their pups. it's a vicious cycle of dog eat dog... pun intended.

ReplyDeleteOnce my 1st camera shot off a roll in a day and we realized it included too much of the view of the ocean 'cause every wave that came made it fire.
Seven adorable puppies, wow!

=) Couldn't help myself. It's good for the collective mood (not to mention good press for a much maligned amazing animal).
They are kinda cute.
ReplyDeleteSaw a small dingo along the highway last night around midnight. He's road-smart and we have seen him in the same location a number of times.
Wundercute muppy-puppies. Mom and Pop have fed them well. Probably not their first litter either.
ReplyDeleteThanks all. Not quite what I expected, but also better too.
