The show got started about forty minutes later. They were supposed to walk around the fence toward the barn. Then once they got in the barn, they were supposed to be shown how the food was prepared. Once that was wrapped up they’d be given a chance to feed some of the animals, including the coyotes. They were reassured that the coyotes knew the sound of the dinner bell, for lack of a better term for it, and would show up for the food.

From the moment the cameras started Marissa became lively and energetic…and claimed the spotlight. She exclaimed how beautiful the refuge was and wondered if the coyotes would be scary…and Becky knew what was to come. When they did finally see them she’d play the damsel in distress and get all the men to reassure her that she was safe.

For once Becky didn’t care what Marissa did, she was just so happy to be here at all. This really was a chance of a lifetime. She hadn’t lied when she’d told Dean it was her dream to own a place like this. She’d always loved animals and it’d be such a privilege to be able to help them when they needed it.

Becky listened as their guide, Sarah, took them around and explained the process of how the various animals came to be at the refuge and what they did once they were here. She talked about the horses that were abused and neglected, she told stories about some of the dogs and cats and how they ended up with them. She even explained how coyotes don’t necessarily mate for life like wolves do, but that the mated pair would usually stay together for a number of years before they went their separate ways.

The refuge even had some cubs born on the property in the past as well. Sarah explained how they prepared the food and how they even had some live food out in the boundary as well. They didn’t want the coyotes to be bored or get too used to people, which could happen if they were always fed prepared slabs of meat. There were plenty of squirrels, mice, birds, snakes and other live animals they could feed on.

“Are you ever scared of the coyotes or other animals?” Marissa interrupted, not being able to stand not being the center of attention.

“Not really,” answered Sarah. “We learn to read them pretty well and know the signs if they are feeling aggressive and when we should avoid them.”

“Do you go into the pen?” asked Becky, unable to keep her questions to herself anymore.

Sarah smiled at Becky. She knew all about Becky and how she was Dean’s woman, even if Becky herself didn’t know it yet. It was good she was showing interest and asking questions since she’d be in the family soon.

“We do,” she answered. “You have to understand, these are wild coyotes, but some have been here a while and do recognize us. They are not
