Oh my gosh, be careful Beth, on your horse. What is your horses's name.
Is it a he or a she? I I love horses. A friend of mine that has since
moved away to GA had a retired race horse that she often invited me out to the
stable where she kept him to ride. He was very sweet and also beautiful
(what horse isn't, beautiful creatures), but we could not pet him on his
nose, the place where most horses love you touching them, because his former
owner who only cared about the profit he could make from the horse, had
beaten him there. We had to be so careful in his stall, doing things around
him,
because if you just raised your hand a teeny bit, her sweet horse would
immediately draw back and look worried...so sad. It made me feel sick to
think of this gorgeous animal being treated so terribly. We have a fifteen
year old fluffy little half-persian cat (about a year old the vet said when we
found her) but always so tiny we wondered if her growth was stunted from
being on her own for so long) my son and I found while roller blading, and
to this day I can get my broom out to sweep without her running away, even
though no one has ever chased her with one in our home. People! It does
seem coyotes and mountains lions are getting so much bolder now than ever
before and probably because we have invaded so much of their living space. I
always feel a little sad when people expect to be able to pitch a tent
overnight in the large parks, Yosemite, etc., and they are so stunned and
surprised when a bear attacks them, and sadder yet, when someone hunts the
bear
down and kills it when it was where it was supposed to be, doing what it is
supposed t,in its own habitat. It's us that need to give them back their
space, but we keep taking more and more and more. I wish there were more
protected reserves for wild animals and areas that people should not be
allowed, if only at their own risk. Wow, that must have really been a shock,
coming upon coyotes pups, and glad you knew enough to not linger. Did the
lady
survive that you're talking about, as I seem to remember a story where one
woman did not. And was it a mountain lion, because I am thinking they
found out it had attacked a man on a bike just before the lady that did not
survive. Maybe it's a totally different story though.
Sorry I am so far behind, so much going on here at home, but I am so glad
the parking lot doggies did get rescued and are off the streets. Such
great work you girls accomplished.!! Well, you can't take them all home even
though your heart would like to, and righly so that you are a lot leery
after the all that went on with transmitting kennel cough to little Smidgen.
Hope she is still improving.
