It's official. The Coyotes are back.
Back in May, when we moved to Dedham, all of our friends said..."you live down the Manor? Watch out for the Coyotes - they are known to attack dogs." Excellent. For the past few months, I dismissed people's comments about both living in the Manor and the Coyotes. We hadn't heard from them or seen evidence of them...until last week.
Around midnight, I heard that distinct Coyote howl-at-the moon sound. He was so close that I actually heard him walk down the dirt road next to my house/bedroom. Two nights ago, just after bringing Copley in from our last potty of the night, a pack of Coyotes took something out. Their screams followed by the evilest cackle seemed to suspend time. And, Copley wasn't so quiet this time. She barked and growled with all her might - the hair on the back of her spine stood straight up.
When living in Arizona, we occasionally ran into some "friends": Coyote and a Bobcat. But, around here there are many more trees, shrubs, and piles of leaves to hide behind! I've become afraid of the dark.
Have you ever been near any wild animals with your dog? Share here.
