Coyotes!

     Sorry I haven't posted anything lately.  (I'm still learning how to blog.)  And.....if you tried to leave a comment, but couldn't, I think it should work now.  So, I'd love to hear from you and your human.

     Coyotes!  Don't tell Mom, but I am secretly scared of coyotes, but still a little curious about their whelping dens.  This time of year, they are abandoned, so it's safe for a little dog to explore.  Phew, the holes give off a nasty odor! 
    

     Sometimes they surround the house and call back and forth to each other.  They are pretty brave, too.  We see them in the field and even caught them coming near the chickens.  Hey, if I can't chase them, then coyotes can't either!  They really make me want to hide behind the toilet, my secret hiding place.  But a dog's got to keep up an image, you know....bark loud, even though your knees are shaking.  If these critters are strong enough to kill and eat a calf on our farm, which they did a year ago, then they might just want a little rat terrier like me for dinner! 

     Any of you dogs or people ever met up with coyotes?  I'd love to hear your stories.
