I know people already know to be aware and careful with their pets, but I can’t help saying it again……..

Several years ago, there were two incidents that I heard about in TV. Small dogs were taken by coyotes who were waiting. Coyotes can tell time and they knew the dogs’ schedules.

Dog owners should never let their pets out unattended, even though the pets might be really good about staying in their own yard for a quick doing of their business.

Urban coyotes are sleek, well-fed, stealthy, smart, and are thriving among us in every state, including the big cities.

Gotta give ‘em credit, but be careful with your pets.

Thank you for the reminder to all pet owners. Even if you live in a courtyard villa, please be aware that coyotes can scale those walls and enter your yard…bobcats too. Keep your precious pets close.
