Scary!!!  I've never heard of coyotes being around here. I've seen foxes once or twice in my life. |
Told ya! Animal control told us they are everywhere now. The ones that were stealing our cats - we never saw them. Animal control set out traps when we were moving away. I heard they caught one. They also carry a lot of diseases too. So between the coyotes and the hawks - one should never, ever leave a yorkie outside by themself.
