Coyotes!!! I am up at 5 am this morning because I heard the coyotes howling and I have to check on "everyone" just to be sure, especially the cat. I am petrified that a coyote will get one of my babies. Of course my yorkies are never outside alone, but I still panic when I hear coyotes do their "kill scream"! I try to realize that they deserve to live here too and that we actually moved into their territory but it is so hard sometimes. Does anyone else have coyotes in their neighborhood? :( |
We used to have them when we lived in the country in VA. One of our dogs, a collie/australian shepherd mix, had her leg shot off by some kinds who thought she was a coyote (from far away she DID look like one). Bravo to you for being concerned, though. I'm sure many people hear them and don't think of the dangers involved. |
We have them at our at our vacation home. As a matter of fact when I was there last week I was walking the dogs late at night..out in the country around our land and heard them start to go at it. They were were very close...too close so I high tailed it back into the house. The sound is very scary , not just the howling but hearing many of them from several areas calling out to each other and then really going at it. Scared the heck out of me. |
That's scary! We don't have Coyote's but we have turkey buzzards and when we moved here everyone told me watch if we have small animals because they've been known to kill them! They're so disgusting! |
wow, that must be scary!! i would be freaking out!! we have NOTHING in my town at all. well except in the winter there are some turkies that come out of the woods, but they just eat and leave. of course we try to stay far away...but my cousin lives in PA and she has bears. |
we have owls, hawks , eagles & wild cats .. They scare me..at least because of my dogs. The do not get out of my site when we are there. I keep them on a leash at all times |
Living in Florida, it seems we have all manner of beasties to potentially threaten... Alligators, Water Mocassins, Eastern Diamondback Rattlers, Pygmy Rattlers, Coral Snakes, Bobcats, Foxes, Hawks, Owls, Peregrine Falcons(these are small though), Ospreys, Eagles, Panthers(very rare) and I even hear now that we have had some spottings of coyotes. Oh yeah, Black Bears too. Not to mention Raccoons and Opossums. Of course Tucker and the cats are indoors at all times but when I had pigeons and chickens, we were constantly losing them to the wildlife - my father and son were actually slammed into by a hawk chasing one of my pigeons. Back when we lived on the lake, we lost two dogs to alligators and one cat and one dog to rattlesnake bites. If you think about it too much it really is scary. Dana |
I understand. I'm usually afraid to leave my dog outside by themselves even with an enclosed 6' wooden fence. I've seen hawks take down creatures in my backyard and I don't want something like that to happen to my yorkies |
I was worried about the hawks 1 Attachment(s) That's why I built this for my little boy! |
Hey I live in Brooklyn, NY. The only things we have are subway rats - yuck! |
I live against the hills with a street separating my house from them. I see coyotes a lot walking around.....I hear them too, and the hawks. I don't let mine out alone either. |
I have coyotes in my area too. I haven't seen one yet, but my girlfriend and my neighbors have all seen them. I end up walking Binky at night. I'm curious to know if some pepper spray will make them go away (God forbid if they tried to attack me/Binky). |

When we use to live in the country, we would hear them practically every night. Someone down the road would feed them. It is a spooky sound to hear a bunch of them calling. I got use to them after a while but like you, I was very conserned about our cat, too! |
