It is another gloomy rainy day today . Papa and I were supposed to go and do a horse photo shoot for one of our Amish clients as he is selling his horses and needs photos of them for the buyer but that isn’t happening today because of the weather we will have to reschedule for another day weather permitting !
Now the howling in the woods was last night when we let Miggs out to do her business .
I heard a lot of yip, yip howling sounds coming from the woods over by the river . When I lived on the farm as a kid we had Wolves and Coyotes lurking around the woods on our farm and in the evenings they would howl and communicate to each other and I would be out there howling with them . We have been here in this valley for over 4 years now and this is the first time I have ever heard them ! It sounded like there were at least 7 of them . There is a hybrid that was discovered 12 years ago in Ontario that is a cross between a Wolf and Coyote now known as a Coywolf .
Back in the day I know Wolves were breeding with farm dogs as I once had a cross with wolf and dog many years ago named Bear . The cross breed of dog and Wolf is often the cause of farm dog pups . I have a funny feeling this is what we have lurking in the woods around our valley .
I have always loved both of these wild beauties as individual breeds and love them as a cross to .

This morning as Papa on his computer this morning and saw a quick movement out the window , so he got his camera and tried to capture this fast moving creature !
Red fox making a dash from our house across the road , across the neighbours and over to the forest and river .
I will name him Rusty lol !
Now we all know that the Fox doesn’t howl but they do make a banshee like cry to communicate !
I love the nature we have here howling and all !
Until next time .. have a snap happy day !
