Usually I take my dog for a walk. That means I lead. Today I let her take me. I followed her up through a valley of snow laden trees and along the edge of a small stream hidden under its banks. Most the time Isabella, my dog, was out of sight and I tracked her by her prints in the snow. Interestingly there were a second set of paw prints fresh amongst hers. This is not unusual, except that there was not another owner in sight. Hum! Could it have been a coyote?


I love your writing Su and your deep respect for and wondering about nature.
Hi Candace,
We have so many things in common. Our ears (which I won’t try to paint) seem to be taking a similar journey. Darn.
