Wait a minute. Wasn't Wile E. Coyote always trying to eat Road Runner?

Just sad that there always seems to be someone with a snarky comment on most message boards...we are from a small town and have just not run into that kind of rude behavior before. Every time we have come to rent for a month at TV we run into it as well whether in line for a class, playing mah jongg, etc but the number of nice people far out number them fortunately. If you can't be nice then be quiet...manners 101

ALSO, there have been reports of Bobcat sightings in Briar Meadow and near preserve in Rio Ponderosa!! Food sources are getting scarce because of all the land being developed.
Was it Tom cat?

Why do you think it’s called “road runner”

I’m sorry if you had an inside cat and he escaped but many people here and all over the country let there cats go outside and they do kill millions of birds every year a coyote only hunts for food while cats kill for play , coyote / cat I’ll always cheer for the coyote

HARRY is his name, black smooth coat w/green eyes AND LEFT ear notched. He WAS about 15 pounds when he escaped. If you feed him he starts to trust you. Call Maureen at 732-513-6747 or Kurt at 352-804-8933.
