howling coyotes

Sunday is the usual day for chores - and that includes grocery shopping. Never my favorite chore, for sure, as I'm not much of a shopper. I'm more the kind who has 'the basics' memorized for a location, and can shop -- zip, zip, zip -- up and down all the aisles and be done in 20 minutes. But most times, I take my son with me, and sometimes we shop - the real kind of shopping, where you look at new things, old things, clearance things.

Today, for some reason, I felt like I should go check out the cactus in my BigBox store. Which I don't normally do on a grocery trip, cuz dirt and food doesn't mix so well! But. I went out among the fall flowers and saw this concrete coyote and thought, man, I just gotta HAVE THAT! *hehehe* Took it to the register to check the price, it had an original sticker of $32 on it. But it was the last one, and they thought it had been marked down at one time. So, she suggested $10, so I took it!! reallllly fast. Some days, you just can't pass up a bargain!

When I got home, I had my son put it on the fence for me,
I wanted an awesome picture of it!
Now I'll have to give him a name - any suggestions?
he can guard my yard for me!

... I wonder if he'll keep neighborhood cats out??

HUGS to everyone!!
