too sweet! charlie's ears still crack me up.
merry, merry christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Please don't let the idiots keep you from bringing life with a Tabby and Coyote to us. I love it!
He looks quite pleased with himself.
Charlie has a blanket :)
He's such a cutie!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us all, the joy you bring me with your efforts is unending.
Lots of love to you, Charlie and Eli for the holidays. I wish you the very best for 2008.
hehehehe, he looks like such a trouble maker!! Too sweet...
People, relax and enjoy the story being told. Clearly, this woman loves this animal and understands him. She has stated from the begining that she had no intention of keeping Charlie if he needed to be set free. Seems to me like Charlie is more her housemate than pet. She seems to have a very healthy respect for the fact that he is a wild animal. Personally though, I hope he never leaves her.
I don't believe this blog is a spelling contest, so leave it alone. The story and the pitures are more important than a spell checker......
All of you Have a wonderful Holiday!
Charlie is so beautiful and Eli looks so much like my late ginger tabby Remy.
It's a really wonderful thing you are doing.
He looks very proud of himself and on a mission. He is absolutly adorable even doing some thievery. Hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and the New Year brings you new adventures and happiness.
I don't know if I would have the nerve to do what you've done by embracing the wilderness, but I envy you. Have a terrific Christmas.

"You look so good in this I thought I would try it out. You dont mind do you?"
Merry Christmas Shreve, Charlie and Eli!
BIG HUGS AND SMOOCHIES!!!!
:D
Happy holidays to you, Charlie and Eli! Every time I see those ears, I just want to kiss them! He's just too cute for words.
Why didn't you name hime "Wile E Coyote":-)
Love your blog. However, I'm wondering where the Christnas snow is :)
Have a Merry Christmas.
Coyote the Trickster God -- that's Charlie.
"The trickster deity breaks the rules of the gods or nature, with ultimately positive effects."
Take a look at this if you're not familiar with the Trickster God:

Peace and joy to you, St. Eli, and Charlie Coyote.
thief!? mon dieu, I think not.
Charlie comes bearing a gift.
sure, it's regifted, but it's the thought that counts.
the only appropriate response to such an act is a vigorous snorggling
to the ears & shnozzle.
merry Gristlemas, 1 & all!!
My first thought: what did he want with it? If this was a wintertime pic, I would think that he was cold. But it was taken in summer... so what did he want with it?
Best guess: he wanted something that smelled like his Mama!
Your are truly blessed. Charlie is lucky. I really hate my city life, but silly things prevent me from following my dream. Best wishes to you and Merry Christmas Charlie.
So that's who stole Knut's blanket! ;)
Coyotes are fascinating critters. Two great books about coyotes are God's Dog by Hope Ryden, and The Voice of the Coyote by J. Frank Dobie...a decades-old book that might still be available at the U. of Nebraska Press where I got my copy
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Shreve, Eli and Charlie. Thanks for all the smiles, inspiration and education!
Just a note to wish you three a merry christmas.
I've been following your blog daily since Yeimaya posted about it in our Honoring coyotes group in Flickr, and that's a lot to say, if you knew me :-) Thanks fot sharing these wonderful moments.
I love his expression..."where am I gonna hide this now that I have it?"
Just wanted to say that I read your blog every day and I am in the process of establishing one myself (unfortunately not about coyotes or "living deliberately" as Thoreau might have commented), I will link to you (to add to the friends I email awww charlie links to!) and share of your wonderful life with eli and charlie that i live vicariously!

I found your site today.. it's like a gift! Merry Christmas!
I love absolutely everything about this picture. It says all that anyone needs to know about Charlie, his well-being and his excellent care.
It is also cute beyond words. I just love a thievin', grinnin', rescued coyote, don't you?
Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year, Shreve-Sweetie, Eli-dear and Charlie-darling.
What an adorable crook!
Merry Christmas to you, Charlie and Eli! <3 Have a wonderful 2008!

More Merry wishes to you three for a happy Christmas!!!!
Charlie (and how can we forget Eli) are gifts everyday for you and all of us that are so lucky to be invited to share your incredible experience!!!!
Thank you!!! And Merry Christmas!!!
He really needs to work on that innocent expression. He looks way too pleased with himself.
Charlie is your muse.
He's amazing in each picture.
Merry Xmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your crew!
I posted about a great book many threads back called "Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with his Daughter" by Barry Lopez. It's a wonderful, short book on the role of the Coyote in forming mankind.
That tastes GOOD!
He looks just like Wily Coyote in that photo (though I'm pretty sure Charlie could outsmart the Roadrunner).
The cuteness is never ending.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I admire your courage, your humor and your creativity.
And your givingness - Charlie was lucky to find you. 'Nuf said.
Many blessings to you, Charlie and Eli on this holy day. May the angels protect you and yours, and bring you the most joyous of new years.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS STORY WITH ALL OF US. PLEASE PAT CHARLIE AND ELI FOR ME.
Happy holidays, Shreve and Charlie!
I love your pictures! Sometimes when I'm feeling a little blue they can really cheer me up.
I'm scared he will end up breaking your heart, but I admire you so much for rescuing him and taking care of him. I hope you can just ignore all the jerks who tell you you were wrong.
Eli's a sweetie too.
I think Charlie's feeling sheepish because he was caught wool-gathering.
I found The Daily Coyote about two weeks ago. Watching Charlie grow up is now my main online pastime.
Merry Christmas to you both!
just found your blog and it is the best thing ever! thank you so much for sharing Charlie with us.
What a naughty boy! Unfortunately (?) that doesn't distract at all from his appeal. Merry Christmas to all three of you.
wow that's a great picture. i hope you had a very merry x-mas
Hahaha! thief!! I love him!
a friend sent me your link today...and i have now sent it along to many others as a wonderful new years greeting. thank you...and happy new year to you, eli, and charlie!
I had a dog that would steal socks from the laundry. not dirty laundry, but clean, warm, fuzzy laundry. he would then bury them in the backyard. we called them his wubbies.
My cats love sleeping on anything I was wearing (sweaters, pajamas, etc)... and don't even get me started on the supernatural attractiveness of clean laundry. It looks like Charlie has some similar tastes!
Charlie reminds me a tiny bit of my angular, pointy, big-eared Balinese cat, who is a real character. (On the other hand, just about anything good reminds me of my cat ;-)
Thanks again for the Daily Coyote! It is the only blog I follow.
