    I am so pleased to see Charlie in this terrific good health at this age. This is twice the average lifespan of a coyote. It’s due, not doubt, to your wonderful care, Shreve. Every year is precious.

    Wow! It’s amazing how fast that 13 years went. Happy Birthday to the sweetest Coyote ever. He (and you Shreve for sharing him with us) has brought so many smiles and so much joy over the years. He is definitely a rock star in his own right. Many blessing to both of you and may he continue to provide wonderful poses for all of us to appreciate for many years to come.

    Happy Birthday and congratulations to Charlie. He is going to live to a ripe age for a coyote with all of the care he gets.

    Hope he got a special elf leg and maybe a toy to destroy.

  24. Wendy Alcorn Says:

    Thank you Shreve, for continuing to document your extraordinary journey with Charlie. I fell in love with you both when your book first came out and I feel joy each time I visit your website and see your latest wonderful photos. Happy Birthday Charlie!

  25. Mona Michaels Says:

    Shreve, time flies and it is hard to believe Charlie is 13. I read your book years ago because I have had two coyote pups and I think they are amazing animals. My experiences were much briefer but I still have some delightful stories about these wonderful experiences. I know you will lose him someday and my heart hurts already for you. A statement I made when I lost my first coyote, a female I named Cootie, which was baby talk for “you are such a cutie” was “I don’t think I can live without a coyote in my life.” However will you manage without Charlie?

  26. Terry Jenkins Says:

    Happy Birth Day, Dear Charlie! You are still so beautiful. With the excellent care you have gotten all your life, you should be still going strong years from now. Those ā€œaverage lifespanā€ numbers are sadly for wild coyotes, and mostly due to most humans being at battle with your kind. In your sheltered life you may well get closer to 20, and I hope itā€™s so.

    Love from the Redwoods of California,
    Terry Jenkins

  27. Debbie Reno Says:

    Happy Birthday Charlie! I lost my GSD Maggie last July and she would’ve been 13 in October. Charlie always reminds me of her. I love him and hope he lives a whole lot longer. Keep those pictures coming!

  28. Gene Forsythe Says:

    Hurrah Charlie ! Happy 13th. You were so lucky to have landed with Shreve, the most dedicated person ever to have a pup. You have been her star and the heart in her soul. Your book continues to be a hit with everyone I (very carefully) loan it to. Enjoy your bright spring and have a wonderful summer this year, and tell Shreve that her pictures of you lighten my day. Many happy years to you.

  29. Alan Says:

    Happy birthday, Charlie-yotee!

  30. Judy Says:

    Hope you have many more Happy Birthdays, Charlie. You sure aren’t sh9wing your age.
    Have enjoyed you for 13 years, and enjoyed the comments of your Loving Mom, Shreve. I’m sure she has a birthday treat or 2 to celebrate the day.

  31. Jayne Zabala Says:

    Happy, happy birthday Charlie ā¤ļø Iā€™ve followed
    your adventures since you first came into Shreveā€™s life. Canā€™t believe itā€™s been 13 wonderful years. The best to both of you!!!

  32. Carol Gaudino Says:

    Happy Belated Birthday Charlie! I found your story by accident way back near the beginning, and I’m truly glad I did. The story of Charlie and Shreve, along with all the other characters in the crew, inspires me, and in certain moments causes me to pause and dream of what I could be doing if things were different. Thank you for that.

  33. Nhumey Tropp Says:

    Happy Birthday Charlie!! Thank you Shreve for continuing to post about your life and the wonderful animals you live with. All the best to you!
