It is an agony to choose just one… or even just twenty!
I told you, pilgrim – it’s MY elf leg!
Behind Eli’s Back
I said NO little red riding hood jokes!!!
White…er…Sepia Fang
Hairy McScary
I saw where you called me “roly-poly”!
A sheep in coyote’s clothing.
Snarlie
A face only a Mother could love
When you see the mailman, Chloe, do this.
Wild Fang…I think I love you!
This …. is…. TENSLEEP!
“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH”!
Tyra told me to practice my “fierce” look!
Don’t get between Charlie and his nap-time.
SURLY  SNOOT
OUCH Chloe, that’s my tail, not a stuffed toy!
How Charlie took the suggestion of going vegan.
Kill Grill
“Thou shalt not worship false Billy Idols.”

• • • Wake up! There’s a psychotic coyote staring at you!
I call this Extreme Yawn: Coyote Sociopath Edition.  In real life, it was just Charlie at the tail end of a yawn, totally benign.  But on first glance, the photo tells a different story.  Leave your title, caption, or commentary in the comment section of this post and you’ll be in the running to win a Wyoming care package that will include petrified squid, antler, arrowhead, and rocks you will either consider lovely (as do I) or think, “why is that crazy girl sending rocks in the mail?”
