I have given the breeding idea some thought--I have friends and relatives who like Chili so well and I don't think I'd have trouble placing a litter in good homoes. Having said that, the thought still gives me pause...we'll see.<br /><br />As for the coyotes, I love having them out here. Their howl is something I listen for and they are not a problem to us. However,once we get chickens, we'll see if my tune changes!

I saw him coming from my window and opened the door to say, "HI"...at the same time I looked up to see the dangerous dog from across the street clear the high fence and bound to our side of the road and attack Rowdy. The barks and growls of both animals raised such an awful noise. You can believe I had the door closed by that time. My neighbor's dog was hurt with one of his paws bitten through but has now been taken care of by a vet. I suppose it could have been worse.<br /><br />I'm glad your Chili came home before he got in to more serious trouble.<br /><br />Good story telling<br /><br />Audreyaudrey yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845456645393057944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-85796626450254200302009-11-08T16:45:57.013-06:002009-11-08T16:45:57.013-06:00A belated thank you for visiting my blog recently ...A belated thank you for visiting my blog recently and leaving a comment. <br />That's a great story and wonderful photos of Chili - how brave is he!!<br />I can't imagine what its like to have coyotes roaming around nearby - the worst we get around here are foxes but they can still do a lot of damage to hens.<br />I love the content of your blog - I'll be back soon.<br /><br />JeanneReading Tea Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928999793157507134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-38217934828388512492009-11-08T12:34:57.311-06:002009-11-08T12:34:57.311-06:00We see an occasional coyote, when we get a bit out...We see an occasional coyote, when we get a bit out of town.

I don't have to tell you that the breed of dog you have is determined, strong willed and needs a job to do and a lot of training. Without those things they can get into a lot of trouble. Shelters hear all too often that the owners are giving up their dogs because they just bit off more than they could chew when they picked a certain breed.<br /><br />Think twice, please. Those dogs are wonderful but a challenge and you could be breeding pups that will end up without homes.♥Mimi♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/02962332639467877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-27653924529800620552009-11-08T08:24:59.209-06:002009-11-08T08:24:59.209-06:00Beautiful!

Indeed there is nothing like the bond between a dog and his owner.<br />I only have a cat, but I can imagine the way you feel about your pets.<br />I am fascinated by the place you live at. So wild and free and so undisturbed.

I miss them (the dogs). :)<br /><br />I love the meadow picture, too. It evoked feelings of Fall and made me hungry. Add to it your dog's name, Chili, and now I'm wondering if I ought to make some.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.com
