My neighbor just stopped by to tell me that they saw a HUGE coyote in the middle of the road in front of our house this morning. He trotted into the scrub next door.:eek: Wonder where he is now?

He is playing with my dogs in the front yard. :shock:
 
I am being tested by nature this week. Yesterday it was the attacking frog, today the coyote and the humongous spider that was trying to get in the sliding door.:blink:

I wouldn't be surprised, Elwood and I used to be followed all the time by a coyote in Denver. She (I always thought of her as a she, and didn't see anything that told me otherwise) would get as close as five feet away. She trotted along but always took her leave after maybe 5-6 blocks.
I never felt endangered, Elwood probably weighed three times as much as she did. The only thing I ever saw her bite was the piece of pizza she once had in her mouth.
 
FFF always call Sweetie coyote bait! :blink: She did get out of our screened in back porch once and FFF found her says "I rescued her from being coyote poop!" (makes him feel manly :idontno: ) but that is the only time she has ever been out on her own. Do you really think they would attack a small dog?
 
The coyotes will go after a 10-15 or so pound cat, especially during pup season. So if you've got a dog of similar size or smaller, no reason why they wouldn't go after that dog as well. They're equal opportunity medium-sized predators.
