Walking towards the hall for lunch, Jenn saw Rachel and pulled in closer to me; as if to tell Rachel to stay away. Collecting some bread and cheese; we walked back to the dry river bed and sat down; Jenn cuddled up close to me; not saying anything I felt her jump as she spied a coyote; it was very straggly; it saw us sitting and started to walk towards us, I whispered, "keep still and you will see that these animals aren't as dangerous as people think," it came right up close; so close we could see right into it's eyes; it showed it teeth, "don't move," I said.<br/><br/>Throwing the piece of bread and cheese that I had, it grabbed it from the ground and ran in the opposite direction, "see; Jenny, they aren't dangerous; you treat any animal with respect it will show you the same."
