My web magician and I have set up some really cool code for The Daily Coyote. Starting tomorrow and forevermore, the top post of this site will feature a photo of Charlie from our vast archives, which will change with every visit the blog.
I didn’t want the daily pictures to end, or for Charlie’s blog to become static. With this new feature, there will always be a surprise from Charlie when you visit The Daily Coyote. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I’ll be back to post more stories about Charlie and never-before-seen pictures from deep within the treasure chest of my hard drives, but such posts will be unscheduled and at random.
Since my written posts are mixed in with pictures around here, I’ve put my last long written posts about Charlie HERE so they are easy to find.

How is Chloe handling Charlie’s passing. Were they really close?

Love this, Shreve. Very creative…
December 2nd, 2020 at 12:35 pm
Shreve, thank you for continuing to share this beautiful experience with us all.
December 2nd, 2020 at 12:39 pm
Looking forward to the surprise photo of your dear Charlie.
December 2nd, 2020 at 12:48 pm
I am so thrilled – that picture really brought me back a decade……things seem so different in retrospect.
Shreve, you are a wonderful person, and everyone and everything you touch are better for the experience.

Always loved this picture. So precious.
December 2nd, 2020 at 8:51 pm
So happy to hear that the blog will go on. Thank you!

Dear Shreve and Mike – sorry just doesn’t seem enough- please know that all over the world folks are holding you in their prayers-and that includes me. The loss you have suffered is so much to deal with-your precious Charlie, Rue and Pita-special furbabies that added so much joy to your life- I love looking at the photos of all the farmily you have shared with us. Charlie so handsome, Rue so beautiful and Pita-sweetest girl. Rest in peace. They are now with the other farmily members who have passed over the rainbow bridge. This photo of Charlie, Chloe and Eli-one of my all time favorites. And thank again so much for sharing and continuing to share the wonder of Charlie. I went through and re-read all your posts about Charlie-so enjoyed-and will re-read many times. So tonight hug and love all the farmily-they need you as much as you need them-animals feel sadness too. Take care-sending hugs.

I could hit refresh a million times and never see enough of Charlie. Hugs to you, Mike and the whole farmily.

P ~ I have totally been doing that this morning! It is so much fun!!! So many laughs and awwwwws bursting out of me this morning…..
December 3rd, 2020 at 11:50 am
I love the Random Pic idea and I look forward to constantly being surprised and touched and amused. :)
I also look forward to the occasional surprise from the archives of the photos and your memories of our favorite coyote.
Thanks for setting up an archive of your recent written posts as well; they’re not exactly -fun- to re-read, but I’m glad to be able to revisit them easily when the mood strikes.
I hope that you and Mike and the Farmily are doing well despite your recent loss, and I wish you all the best this holiday season!

It somehow seemed appropriate that when I loaded the site today, before I even knew about the Random Charlie functionality, the pic I got was “Well Hello There, Pilgrim”. Charlie welcoming me to the site. <3
December 3rd, 2020 at 1:15 pm
this will be great fun! yay web magician!
December 3rd, 2020 at 3:47 pm
I love that you are keeping the blog alive. You have hundreds of thousands of photos of Charlie.
An occasional story about him would be nice too. I’m sure there are plenty that will come to you triggered by a sight or smell or old photo.
I love that picture of the three amigos. I think that is one of my favorites.
December 3rd, 2020 at 6:25 pm
I am enjoying so much seeing all the pics of Charlie-I’ve been on the site numerous times today-trying to catch new pics that I haven’t seen prior-all are making me smile-thank you for doing this-Charlie is so important to us all and always will be a part of my life.
December 5th, 2020 at 12:18 pm
Thank you for letting us continue to have access to Charlie. You didn’t have to choose to do that, but we are grateful you did, and especially in such an innovative way. We will continue to honor him through this daily ritual as it will help to transition our grief into everlasting joy. With the calendar on its way, the gifts keep coming! We remain inspired by your example of how to live and love. Wishing your farmily peace at this momentous winter solstice and many blessings in 2021.

I always missed seeing these kind of pictures- just regular ‘in home’ stuff with his friends and family.
Thank you for sharing them now with us.
December 10th, 2020 at 2:30 pm
I love it, Shreve. Can never see enough of beautiful Charlie and I’m so glad I can continue to access his pics. They are so special. Bless you Shreve.
December 11th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
Today was a happy mail day-I received the Charlie calendar and it is so very special-thank you-I will cherish and enjoy looking at the wonderful photos of Charlie each month-and the sayings are uplifting. Take care.
December 12th, 2020 at 6:26 pm
Yay! Can never get enough of beautiful Charlie! So incredibly special. Thank you for uplifting us all!
December 15th, 2020 at 12:51 am
I set The Daily Coyote as my Explorer homepage.
Love seeing Charlies face each day.
December 18th, 2020 at 1:55 pm
Christmas wishes do come true after all! :) the world is not done with our sweet Charlie ❤️
February 16th, 2021 at 8:03 am
I regularly come here in hit refresh a couple of times. Charlie still makes me so happy. <3
March 15th, 2021 at 5:51 pm
I am so very sorry to hear that Charlie passed. I have visited his site for several years. May he rest in perfect peace until you meet again.
March 22nd, 2021 at 3:06 pm
Hi Shreve – Just reaching out to say how often I think of Charlie and thank you (again) for sharing him with us. Also, I’m wondering how it is going with you — missing him and what life has been like lately. <3

Hi Shreve-wishing you a Happy Birthday! And also sending a Happy Birthday to Charlie over the Rainbow Bridge-where I know he is celebrating with all the other Farmily members that are with him. I visit your site multiple times a day and so love all the photos of Charlie-many I had not seen prior and they make me smile at the wonder of Charlie and your life together. I truly believe that you taught him to love and trust and respect all life-and he loved you and Mike and all the Farmily members back-he was magical and so special and so amazing!!!! Thank you again for sharing this wonderful life adventure with all of us-this life of you and Charlie has brought so much joy to me! I thank you -please take care and know that you created a loving and fantastic life for
Charlie-and he loved you so much!!!

Hello Shreve. Due to my email going directly to my trash file for several months and having to work around that with my gmail account, I missed the sad news at the time of Charlie’s passing, until I randomly visited your blog not to long ago. I was so sorry to hear of Charlie’s death and wanted to express my sincere condolences to you. What a miracle his life, and your relationship with him, were. I am presently re-reading my copy of The Daily Coyote, which I haven’t read since you originally published it. It remains such a wonderful account. I live in Colorado and volunteer each week at the Longhopes Donkey Shelter in Bennett, Colorado. The wildlife of this part of the country maks it so special, and you are the best example of that I can think of. Again, my sympathy to you and my thoughts continue to be with you. Robert Sholis

Hi Shreve.
Have you discontinued sending weekly pics of Charlie. Haven’t received anything since shortly after Charlie’s passing. So sad.
Do I need to sign up again to start receiving emails again or have you stopped?
I’ve read your books Daily Coyote (twice) and Meditations with Cows. Also enjoying the 2021 calendar.
Hope all is well with you and Mike.
Stay healthy.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your time.

I just learned today that Charlies passed. How did I miss this?! I am so sorry. I found your blog with Charlie years ago when my shepherd/lab miss passed at the young age of 4. Charlie had a great, long life, filled with photo ops and news. He was beautiful!
May 21st, 2021 at 8:15 am
Thank you , it’s nice to keep the memory alive.
Every time I go out with my dog a night , we hear the little tricksters in our neighborhood and it reminds me of Charlie.
Hope all is well.
Stay safe.

How is Chloe handling Charlie being gone?
October 26th, 2021 at 9:38 am
Its been a year since Charlie left us…I think of him and miss him every day as I’m sure you do.
Sending ❤

Missing Charlie everyday-have smiled and cried looking at all the wonderful photos of him-he was so very special, wonderful, what an amazing life he had with you !!!! Thank you again for sharing this fantastic life adventure with us!!! Sending hugs and love.
