As for the coyotes, I agree with you. The rich people want to build their houses up in the hills where the coyotes live, and they want to have hiking trails up in said hills, building into the coyotes habitat, what did they think was going to happen?
I don't like to walk yorkies in anything but paved roads anyway, their hair picks up every single burr and leaf and it's a PITA to get them all out. Esp on cotton coats. |
I do feel bad for that lady, that is horrble...but I think people with smaller dogs just need to be safe at all times, esp walking them in that type of area. I don't think it is right to move into an area that is known for coyotes, have something happen to your dog because maybe you wern't protecting your yorkie 100% and then start killing coyotes! That is crazy to me!
Dh and I just moved into a house, our house is backed up on a hill, and our backyard has a slope that goes down.. Well above that slope is land and rocks... I'm pretty sure we have all kinds of animals living back there. In fact I had a roadrunner run acrosss my hill and jump over the chain link!! (it was pretty neat) Our HOA mailed everyone a letter saying homeowners are seeing a lot of coyotes in the area, and to be careful. Knowing that am I going to let Pnut off leash anywhere??? Heck NO. When he is in my backyard I am back there, I keep a look out on the top of our hill and around the fence line, you just never know! When we take Pnut out to Pee at night, DH will take his gun hook pnut on a leash and take him to P! Might be a little crazy, yes BUT we are prepared!
I dont take Pnut on un-paved roads either, I always worry about bugs and other stuff that he might step in that I can't see... And he doesnt like his feet to get dirty either!
