Sorry for yall's loss, especially the loss of a wife.
Doc, some Coy dogs & Dogote's turn out to be OK pets. Plenty running around when you get out in the country. In Texas most coyotes are not loved much by Farmer's and Rancher's and they still have a bounty on them. As far as someone not wanting to fatten him up. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one of my best dogs was one that no one else wanted. As I say though if you are happy-that's all that matters and enjoy your new companion.
Well last night we had to have old phoebe put down, she was about 16 1/2 years old which is quite old for her breed ( English staffordshire bull terrier ). We buried her at the foot of a young Morten Bay fig, we planted the week after our second grand child was born ( 3 years ago). That tree now has 1 dog, 1 gallah, 1 blue tongue lizard, a couple of finch and a goldfish under its branches.
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!!

Alan,
Sorry to hear about that, but 16 years is a good long run, and I am sure, a lot of companionship. A tree is always one of God's wonders and a good place to be planted along with the tree. I scattered my Wife's ashes under a large tree in the little town she grew up in, as she had mentioned it so many times while talking.
