Be on the look out. Friends have reported seeing several coyotes in the Lakewood/Seagrove area and there was an article in the Sun this morning about sightings of Fl panthers in the Pt. Wasshington area. The coyotes have been seen hunting in the day time and walking up and the street in residential neighborhoods. I know we have taken their land away and have no other choice but to look for food elsewhere, just wanted to caution pet owners.

I am being tested by nature this week. Yesterday it was the attacking frog, today the coyote and the humongous spider that was trying to get in the sliding door.:blink:

I wouldn't be surprised, Elwood and I used to be followed all the time by a coyote in Denver. She (I always thought of her as a she, and didn't see anything that told me otherwise) would get as close as five feet away. She trotted along but always took her leave after maybe 5-6 blocks.
I never felt endangered, Elwood probably weighed three times as much as she did. The only thing I ever saw her bite was the piece of pizza she once had in her mouth.

FFF always call Sweetie coyote bait! :blink: She did get out of our screened in back porch once and FFF found her says "I rescued her from being coyote poop!" (makes him feel manly :idontno: ) but that is the only time she has ever been out on her own. Do you really think they would attack a small dog?

The coyotes will go after a 10-15 or so pound cat, especially during pup season. So if you've got a dog of similar size or smaller, no reason why they wouldn't go after that dog as well. They're equal opportunity medium-sized predators.
