Not recently, but we definitely spotted a coyote slinking across the back white picket fence of our lifestyle visit home on Merryweather way; fence bordered the golf cart path. Coyote was inside our back yard.... Much too close for comfort, to say the least.

This village was close to Lake Sumter Landing.

Of course, when I mentioned it on TOTV, I was made to look a fool.

We know what coyotes look like as we have them in Vermont.
Not quite so close to homes ......

Other people contacted me to say they also had come in contact with coyotes while walking their pets in T.V. They are there.

I think I might carry mace on a keychain, if it is allowed, just in case. It might be a hungry coyote. One never knows.

Again, every state has something. We also have red and grey fox that walk up our road. Our daughter finally found out what was eating her chickens.....a fox. Bear and moose have been spotted down in our town and in backyards.........so I guess we could deal with a coyote with glowing eyes.

In Colorado, at the Air Force Academy, young families are warned to keep their children indoors when a coyote is spotted down around the residential areas.

Just food for thought. They are not cocker spaniels, after all.


Thanks for sharing...........and keep your pooch safe.
