Thanks to the Summerlee Foundation and donors like you, Morrell and Hotei are finally out of their small pen and into one that is about three times larger. It took most of the summer to build. First, we had to build a corridor linking the two pens. We had to be able to move the coyotes from the old pen to the new. Morrell is not a tractable coyote and likes things done her own way.

Joe and Laramie Coyote visited. They stayed here for 4 days and did most of the work on the new pen. Laramie mowed grass, Joe worked on the pen and I watched. It was the middle of summer and was very hot. Joe and Laramie love coyotes and it was a pleasure having them here. Laramie also likes to cook. I wasn’t feeling well and they took very good care of me and the coyotes. Then, they packed up and went back to Ohio. No one could ask for better friends.

When my intern, Jami returned from her vacation, we opened to gates to the corridor and Morrell ran right in and started to explore her new territory. It took Hotei about a week to adjust, while going back and forth from the old pen to the new. After about two weeks, we closed the door on the new pen and they have both adjusted quite well. Now, their old pen is being used for Jack.
