He's got a nice white belly and legs, his sides and back are well furred but are pretty dark, the mane is a little course not the really fine fur of a sandhills nor the silvery color of the Montana pale coyote but not a darker blackish or a rusty reddish color of a lot of the red desert or higher mountain coyotes. The legs are a whiter color than most of the coyotes from this area, which are pretty brownish or rusty color. If I had him skinned washed and stretched, he would be a little lighter but would probably still be a mid-range coyote. The one that Zip pulled the fur out of was getting closer to a pale coyote of the average coyotes from this area with the reddish rusty legs, when washed and stretched both of the other coyotes would be closer to pales, but not quite Montana pales and in the lower range of the pales, with fine fur but not as fine as the sandhills coyotes, courser than the fur of a nice red fox.

Dave ,
My Spud dog turned 15 August 14th.
He is flat worn out. His hips are shot and I think everyday is his last.
I can't even imagine 18 years old.
Wow.

It seems like the bigger dogs are the shorter their lives are. I've had a couple that lived to 16 but they were as you say worn out, they had earned their place and my respect, so I kept them at home with me till they were in pain and suffering, then out of respect for them put them down. I always shake my head at your having Alec Baldwin teach a gun safety course we all know for a revolver to go off the hammer has to be cocked, or it dropped and not have a drop bar! I have seen some horses as well as dogs that will form a tight bond with their humans and it has always impressed me as to what they will do for each other.
