The Daily Coyote



If your heart melted at the above photo of ten day old coyote, Charlie, who arrived on photographer Shreve Stockton's doorstep very unexpectedly over a year ago, then you are sure to want to read their story in her new book, The Daily Coyote A Story of Love, Survival and Trust in the Wilds of Wyoming, out this week. Charlie was orphaned after his parents were shot for killing sheep and from the looks of things, he ended up with a great new family.

While you are waiting for your book to arrive, you can check out her blog by the same name and see her fabulous photos of what she calls her Farmily, including, Eli, a tomcat, Chloe a hound dog and a horse and hog. Charlie, by the way, gets along with everyone. An interesting case to be made for the nurture over nature folks.

Stockton is quite the business woman. You can sign up for a daily photo of Charlie delivered to your inbox as well as the Weekly Coyote. Stockton takes photographs of Charlie every day and notes tht he has the "it" factor when it comes to preening for the camera.

Who says I don't give you great ideas for holiday shopping? This one might be perfect for a lot of people on your list.
