left hip. This probably was caused

and yet he was very wet up
to the middle of his body.

moving his intestinal anatomy
and his head in a most peculiar
manner. There was no poop
or droppings of any kind within
ten yards of him. We believe
this coyote was the same one
Mr. Lamb shot at this afternoon.
He seemed to be after the rabbit
which had just been prepared
for eating. I also saw several
swallows to clay. Draw me Nordman
