Well Good Morning or Afternoon depending on where you are. I apologize for not being here yesterday. But I read were Anastasia told you what came up. I had just sit down to do the postings and the phone rang. I figured it was hubby calling to tell me to come and get Kiki. I generally bring her with me but it was foggy and misting, so I left her home. Good thing I did too! I can see her going on a call to pick up a wild critter. She is super protective of me and would want to be eating up the critter. She doesn’t know it, she wouldn’t even make a good appetizer for them, lol!
I thought I would give you a report on the coyote in case you were curious. When I got there the poor thing was crazed. She was in so much pain and too boot she was pregnant. I told the hunter to leave the coyote and myself alone for a bit. He didn’t think that was wise but I told him if he heard me scream, coming running. So he backed off. I sit down a few feet away from the coyote. Started talking to it, very calmly and in a low soft tone. I gradually started edging my way up as the coyote started to settle down. As I got closer I saw her paw, it was never completely chewed off. No wonder the poor animal was in such pain. I got close enough to stick my hand out. I thought, “yeah, here you go, dumbass, your going to lose a finger or two!” But instead she looked at me rather baffled and stopped to sniff me. I probably really screwed her up. She didn’t know what to think I was. I still had on the clothes I had on earlier out feeding and playing with the animals at the refuge. So I smelt a little like deer, skunk, cat, raccoon and coyote. But she didn’t take any fingers off. I continued to talk to her and I motioned for the hunter to come in. I needed him to pull the trap’s jaws open. I worked my way behind her and he started to bend down and she lunged at him. I told her it was ok, to calm down. I surprised the heck out of her because she didn’t see my final move was right behind her. I figured she would eat me up when he freed her. When an animal is in extreme pain like that, you can never tell what they are going to do. So just to be on the safe side, I drug out the old sedative shot and gave her a dose. I told him to wait a minute till she got sleepy. It didn’t take long. When she was out, he pried the jaw’s open and I gently removed her paw. Removing an animal’s paw from one of those traps is horrible. Ever who invented those things ought to be shot. They have metal teeth and the animal’s paw, leg, whatever will get stuck to those teeth. In her case, if she had been awake, she would have lost her foot. But it is horrible, hearing the skin pull away from the trap, feeling the bones shatter, horrible, just horrible. Anyway, I took her to the truck and put her in one of our carriers. Took her to the vet. The vet didn’t know if he could save her foot or not. But I got the news yesterday late, that he had and the little tiny pups were still ok. So in a few day (two to be exact), we will have a new visitor at the refuge.
So that was my day yesterday. How was yours?
