photo taken February 9, 2009 • title thanks to Karen
Again, I am just so blown away by y’all! My burly, badass, ex-bullridin’ buddy is hanging out with me today and we went through all the entries, giggling and practically rolling on the floor. I urge you skim through the comments if you need a few chuckles today. Karen Hanson, you da winner! Classic. And ALL of you are second-runner-up. Thanks, one and all!!
• • • This photo was taken four months ago, but we might have a repeat of the scene in the next few days - the forecast is calling highs in the 40’s and possibly even snow. I’m praying that it skirts my house; I’m not ready for my garden to die just as it’s getting going! I might have to borrow all of Mike’s chickens and have them sit on my little plants.
But in the meantime, we will play: leave your title, caption, or commentary for this photo in the comment section of this post and be in the running for a very cool prize: an unmatched pair of pronghorn antelope horns. If I were to come back as an animal, I’d love to be a pronghorn. They have the greatest faces.
The horns are strange and wonderful. You can use them as decoration, of course, or you can pass them off to your canine friend ~ they are a favorite chew toy around here. The upper part of the horn is solid, and you can saw it into rounds, drill two small holes in the center of each round, and polish them up to make fantastic buttons. How many people have antelope horn buttons closing their cloaks? Enjoy!

I’m reading a whole lot into Chloe and Charlies expressions. Chloe looks like she’s just been punished and by Charlie. Charlie is looking a bit like he’s been bad, knows it, yet doesn’t care. I imagine that they are playing house and Chloe has just been reminded by Charlie that she is female and her place is in the home and to “Stay There!” She finds this very boring and is surprised that Charlie is so unenlightened and so un-evolved. But, since he’s bigger and older she has to go along with it.

When reading “High 40’s”, I instantly thought “That’s HOT!”. But then I remembered America measures temperature and volume in Imperial as opposed to our using Metric here in Australia.
I figure “That’s cold!” will suffice instead then.
As for the caption, “Bayin’ Straw” came to mind.

I just finished reading your book, I loved it. Are your going to write another one? It really has made me take a different look at coyotes. Your are so lucky to have such a good friend as Charlie.
June 12th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
She has the camera out again, quick look normal……….

Ms. Stockton,
I just finished your book this morning and it is inspirational and uplifting. I went right out to Border’s and purchased a second copy to send to my niece —– I know she will love your story and your writing style. My copy will be loaned to a friend next week. It is a superb read!!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with Charlie and Eli. In a world that often goes a bit haywire, it is soothing to know that people like you exist and that the world is a better place because of it. Bless you….
