Coyotes are smart and have been known to watch and learn the routines of households; the coyotes then lay-in-wait and snatch puppy, dog, cat...as soon as the backdoor opens. Horrible and darn scary. I live in within city, but still keep an eye out for predators from above and the like. You guys who are within howling distance of coyotes, please be (as I know you are) ever diligent and extra careful! |
