First, we live in the suburbs of Chicago, in a house and the news has been filled in recent days about a young bear that has been spotted in IL. Bears are not native to IL so this is kind of big news. As a matter of fact it was on the news again just a few minutes ago. Kind of like the mountain lion that was shot and killed inside the city of Chicago a few years ago.
Here's my crazy mind:
My husband and I were living in an apartment that faced an alley with a large dumpster. The bear cub broke into the apartment and I grabbed it by the neck and flung it into the open dumpster which just happened to have a mattress inside. The bear bounced high into the air and landed on the ground then ran away. I taught him huh 
Here's my opinion on the coyotes. We have coyotes around us too so it is concerning when I let them out to potty at night. I know that a fence even 6' tall will not stop a coyote if they wanted to hop it. But I do let them out at night and always go out with them to watch and take a huge Mag Light flashlight with me. Before I let them out I'll check the yard and in and out they go. They are more afraid of us then we are of them. So if you want to potty outside I'd say stick close to your backdoor, take a flashlight and if you were to see one make a lot of noise to scare it off. During the day I don't worry but at night it's always a very quick in and out with me right there watching. |
Don't forget to have your puppy out while wearing a harness and a leash to keep her near you.
