Let sleeping dogs – and coyotes – lie

I really wanted to pet this cute pup but decided I better not. 😉

An absolutely crazy fun encounter with this handsome fellow this past weekend. I thought my photo day was done but decided to check one more spot and saw him and his mate out for a late morning walk. Sadly, his mate was suffering from mange pretty bad but he looked very healthy.

While I got some closer shots than this (which I will share later), this one was one of my favorites. As the two of them worked their way across a frozen pond, much to my surprise, he decided it was nap time. He laid down and rested his head on his paws, much like my border collie is doing right now as I type this. So stinking cute!

Unfortunately for him, his lady was ready to move on so his break was short-lived and they headed off to more private environs.
