Yesterday I posted a couple of photos of a duo of coyotes on the hunt.
Today there is this short, silent video vignette. Same date, different location and slightly different time.
You have to be quick to notice the hind quarter of the lead coyote in the very opening frame - this was the animal that triggered the motion-activated camera. It is the second animal that is worthy of observation.
She pauses to pee and then scratch to finish marking her territory before moving on. This territorial marking is no different than that of our Labrador retriever. Likely the same for your dog too. The difference is that around here is is a constant battle to mark territory. The coyotes pee and scratch, the Blonde Lab sniffs it out and then proceeds to mark it and scratch it herself. The coyotes pee and repeat. The cycle does not end.
It's an on-going contest to determine who's Boss Dog of theses here parts......
