Another coyote

This afternoon we took an early hike in our neighborhood instead of going to RB Dog Park.  We thought we’d go down by the creek to get a little closer to nature. We explored around the old stone houses and then turned around and went downstream. We crossed a tributary and then Brandy caught a scent. It wasn’t on the ground, but in the air and she was following it very agitated with her head held up. I saw the coyote first and a few seconds later she saw it. She pulled hard on the leash and I stopped to keep her back. She whined in both protest and eagerness to get to the coyote. I shortened the leash so the coyote wouldn’t try for dinner. The coyote was rather thin. I looked around to see if there were any others and found none. The coyote walked into the brush and we hiked back to Summer Sage, warily looking for other coyotes.
