"Charlie is a wild-born coyote who was unexpectedly delivered to my doorstep this past April after both his parents were shot for killing sheep. Whatever reservations I had about raising a wild animal simply didn't matter - couldn't matter - when I realized his survival, at least in the short term, depended on me."—Shreve Stockton
To read more about Charlie go here. I found this here.
Thanks for the link Leslie, I hadn't seen or heard about this. I loved looking at all the photo's of Charlie and the cat.
ReplyDeleteoh my...i have read every post...and cried and cried...i heart charlie...blessings, rebecca
ReplyDeletewhat a glorious animal!
ReplyDeleteyour photograph
makes even this young one
look noble.
look at those paws and big ol' ears!
:-)
you know
he will have to move on someday
and it will not be easy.
you are his *transition* mom...
i have raised many riverine turtles
from hatchlings...
some sky dropped and maimed by prey.
when i have to release them--
some after 5 or 6 years--
it is difficult to do
and
they are not even lovey-dovey
like your Charlie
when in my care.
still...it is nature's way.
i try to find
friendly relocation ponds.
i am sure you will know what to do
when the time is right.
my cousin does the same with squirrels.
raising orphan babies with a bottle
then releasing back to nature.
how fortunate you are
that he chose you for his transition time...
long as that was...
ReplyDeletei forgot to say
how much i am enjoying your holiday banner!
cheers!
:-)
