My New Summer Collar

 My mom loves buying dog collars and she has for years~

I know - you want to see my face.      Can you see my ice cream collar now?

How about now?!
Yesterday, mom and I were walking and we spotted a coyote in front of us.   He kept looking back at us and he eventually headed into the woods. Then it was mom's turn to look back and see if we were being followed.  
He started to bark at us!   Mom has never heard a coyote bark before so she googled it once we got home.

"To answer the initial question set forth, yes, coyotes do bark! The noise sounds much like a dog’s bark. As with dogs, sometimes a coyote’s bark signals a warning, demands attention, establishes territory, alerts danger or displays extreme anger."

We were so happy that we were almost home when he started to bark!

Happy July 1st!

Love ya lots♥
Duke

  2. We run into fox sometimes and certain times of the year there are coyotes where we walk. They usually race away when they see us coming. Mom says, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream" is what comes to mind with your new collar.

  4. Duke, Linda and I have our favorite color which is aqua. So we love that color you're wearing. And the thank you we're outside listening to a coyote. It's been a few years since Lynn has been lucky enough to hear one but she has seen one on the bike path.

    Your new collar is delicious!!! How interesting about the Coyote. I thought, like Dingoes, they only howled. Well, now we know. Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx

  6. Maybe The Coyote wants to go for ice cream with your new awesome collar!

    I think Mom owes me ice cream on one of this week's 'ventures!

    Coyotes are cool - and they are definitely survivors in this khrazy world!

    Love it. Currently I am on an ice cream sandwich kick...OMDs they have choc chips in them too
    Last year while I was on an EMW...I too saw a coyote walking smack in the middle of the street about a block away in the middle of the neighborhood. then he disappeared. Not knowing where he went
    I turned around.

  11. Glad you were there to protect your mom from the coyote...or was it the other way around? inquiring minds want to know.

  12. Hi Duke, Happy July 1st! I LOVE your ice cream collar! Oh my.... Coyote is a bit of problem in Toronto now. My mom saw one hanging around in the residential area while she was running in the morning. Juno

  13. Nice collar there, Duke. I'd buy Liam and Teddy more collars but you can't even see them with all their hair. Scary about the coyote.

  14. In Oklahoma, we often heard them howling on the other side of the pond. Coyotes are scary. Coyotes are scary. Love the collar!
