Two things I no longer have to wonder about
So far Ronan has only seen him from a distance, and we’ve wondered what he’d do if he saw him up close. And what Mr. Yote would do. My theory was that Ronan would go after him. Either he’d think it was a dog or he’d think it was some kind of wild varmint, and we have plenty of evidence telling us that in both instances he’s going right at it. When he was a puppy he took off after a fox one night, and a couple years ago he chased a seven-point buck a couple hundred yards into the woods.
We now have concrete answers to our questions, because today dog and yote had a close encounter.
Q: What would Ronan do?
A: Chase the coyote.
Q: What would the coyote do?
A: Head the other way.
I managed to yell the dog down before he entered Mr. Yote’s interpersonal space, so that was good. And my yelling hastened the coyote’s retreat, as well. Still, Ronan did not want to leave.
Life with a terrier….

Go, Ronan, go!
Go, Ronan, go!
Please, don’t encourage him.

…a terrier that thinks he is an Irish Wolfhound.
He looks so cute in his red jacket. Nice to see the picture of him out in the snow again.

Shouldn’t you be writing “The Hungry Coyote Blues” or something?

I don’t know what kind of self-image this dog has, but when he walks past that little guy in the mirror he KNOWS it ain’t him.

Nah. But I might write a short story…which will probably turn into a book…and it might be finished by the year 2015. Based on past experience and all. 🙂

…and there are times when his master totally cracks me up.
Always good to read a writer with a first class sense of humour. 🙂

But if you insist…
There was this coyote
who lived on my block
I said there was this big bad coyote
who lived on this very block
The last time I saw him
That crazy ass Ronan tried to clean his clock

Glad to hear the encounter went the way it did.
BTW, I have really been enjoying your many posts of late. I’ve not had time to respond, but I always take the time to read. Very good brain food.

Thanks. Feel free to jump over and check out Scholars & Rogues when you get a chance, too. I think it’s going to be one of the best things I’ve ever been involved with: http://scholarsandrogues.wordpress.com/
