Beau barked at something outside last night around 2:00 AM. Too early for the newspaper delivery guys. We had a clutch of baby rabbits in our section of houses and the coyotes often hunt these.

I never go out when he is barking to see what it is but just make sure the door is locked and I have a weapon nearby.
