Email from my mom (1 of 3): An Update.

When I was home over Easter, my mom and I took my brother's dog on a number of walks (my parents were taking care of her for 2 weeks while my brother starts a new job). On one long walk on a nice afternoon, ahead on a two-track was this bigger tawny-looking animal that looked like a coyote because of its size and color, but had a tip of white on its tail like a fox.

Overall, I said it was a coyote, but my mom said it was a fox.

Then, last week she emailed me:

You were right, it was a coyote. XXXXOOOOMom
