Three-Canid Day

A vine's reproductive strategy

We spotted three canids in the desert this morning, a coyote and two stray dogs.  One of the dogs was white and furry.  They were out there alone.  I whistled at them twice, but they ran.  I've rescued several dogs before--one, a young Rottweiler,  from the Aguirre Springs National Recreation Area in the Organ Mountains.  After I pulled cactus spikes from his legs, I took him to the Animal Shelter and paid the $35 adoption fee.  The other dog had a phone number on its collar, and I was able to reunite it with its owner.
