Default Them howling dogs

A friend of mine who lives in Fernandina said the coyotes were howling really loud last night. She said it seemed like they were in her back yard.

They spotted one on Hilltop course the other day. We have them in packs at the barn where I keep my horse in Oxford. They will not hesitate to attack small dogs and cats. yes, watch your pets when they go outside!

Toss them one of those little yappy dogs that seem so prevalent in TV. Then they will go back to their den. (just kidding)

Actually the coyotes are helping to keep the snake, squirrel, rabbit, rodent, and racoon populations in check.

wow, I live in Mira Mesa on Del Mar Dr., with the field to my back, I see alot of people walking their dogs there, from the rio grande pool area. I have to admit they walk the dogs a ways from us, but I often find droppings on the back side of my bushes.... hmmmm, Perhaps more solar spots are in order.

If they swear to seeing a wolf..........how can you question their oath?

Never saw any coyotes or wolves, but my son was visiting last week and said he ran into a few cougars at Katie Belle's.
