Goodbye Old Friend

Wile "E" Coyote

June 1989 - June 1, 2002

Beloved companion, Trusted Friend, your leaving us leaves us saddened and mourning your company.

We found Wile "E" in late July, 1989 late in the evening.  He had just been run over by a car and was wandering in a circle in the middle of Jackson-Keller Road.  He looked just like the cartoon coyote after the road runner had foiled one of his devious plans, so it was natural that he wear the name of his famous predecessor.

We came to find out that in his infancy he had distemper.  This had  a long lasting effect on his nervous system, but he was a hale and hearty friend for all the time he was with us.  It has just been recently that his rear leg strength had started diminishing and we think that some of the effects of the distemper had also surfaced again.

We came home after our usual Saturday night dinner to find him lying on the bathroom floor.  He looked like he was asleep.

Old friend, I really miss you.

The First Day we had Wile "E":

Meeting the Family for the First Time

His "Mother" Always Loved Him:

He Was a Noble Beast to have survived what he did and lived to be a handsome creature

He and his Mother were always the best of Friends

They were truly happy together

But, he did have a bad habit of smoking, bones that is!

The new Kitten though Wile E was her momma!

Goodbye, old friend, I hope your roaming in heaven gets you lots of "biskies."
