Hello everyone -
havent posted in awhile. I am the proud mom of a rescue poo/bischon mix as of Oct 2019.
I was recently made aware of the high numbers of
coyotes being seen during the day in NW Indiana. MUNSTER. Not rural at all...
Walking my new baby on 19th of December - we walked across the street and she stopped walking -actually seemed to be frozen ! - and I looked down at her as a low deep howl came behind us. I slowly looked to the right and there hiding near shrubs next to my building, was a
coyote. THE FIRST ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN! In real life/real time!! Just his/her legs. Face was hidden by shrub.
I slowly picked my baby up and put her in my jacket and walked BACKWARD to the closest house. Knocked and told the kind woman the
coyote was after us. We were let in and after a time, she drove us to our door!!
Our area has had a NUMEROUS amount of sightings of
coyotes at schools, yards, bike trails...and no one keeps track. Are they on the increase?
This is mating season. They jump over 6ft fences to get to anything they want. They carry rabies. May have distemper.
Their pups are usually born in early spring which brings on MORE HUNTING for food. And more coyotes to grow up to hunt, mate, more babies...
Just a warning. Learn what you can please. I lost my yorkie in 04 from a leashed greyhound being walked. I am NOT GOING TO HAVE MY BABY INJURED BY THESE PREDATORS.
