This morning Damion came into the office all excited about a coyote he saw out in the parking lot. Taking any opportunity I can to get out of my chair, I grabbed the camera and went outside. Turns out I could have just turned around in my chair because the thing was right outside the window. It was surprisingly calm given that Damion, Jeff, and I were staring at it from only about 40 feet away, but the beast seemed more concerned with it’s breakfast. On today’s menu was head of domestic feline, garnished lightly with dirt and grass clippings. It wasn’t so much gruesome to watch as it was to listen to the crunching of canine teeth on cat skull.

I lost my own cat recently. His fate was probably similar to the one here. Although, I can’t be sure since he just vanished, but coincidentally there were signs posted on the mailbox about coyote sightings only a few days after Bucky’s disappearance. It’s unfortunate but it’s nature. This is their land, not ours. We are their inconvenience, and for that they demand a sacrifice whenever possible.
