I live in the country too and we have wolves,coyotes,hawks and owls. I trained our yorkie to pee pads so she doesn't have to go out. My passed two yorkies also were trained that way too. In our area coyotes have come out in the daylight and killed someones little dog. They are nasty critters and I wished they would go away. They are in the town too digging in garbage cans. Please be careful and thankfully you were with your babies because coyotes are witty and quick. Susan |
