Seeing the wolf must have been awesome. That is how I feel when i see the coyotes out back.

But the reality is, we must keep our pets safe. Just because ONE wolf wags his tail meeting your dogs through a fence, well, things will be different if the whole pack arrives.

This is the season when their food supply is disappearing as some of their food chain hibernates. So they are looking for what more is available.

And if one man with one dog couldn't save the dog (RIP Molly), then what does your hubby expect to do trying to save 2 dogs, who are off leash, probably amid a pack in 2 separate areas? No, I think the off leash walks need to stop, sadly. Even on leash, hubby needs something with him. Around here, many folks bought an old golf club or 2 at yard sales and always carry that when they walk their dogs. Just one thought.

Folks laughed when we put up a 6 foot fence for bichons. Well, it isn't only to keep my dogs in, it is also to keep the coyotes OUT. And a desperate (i.e. hungry) coyote could manage to get over it. We don't leave the dogs out alone for that reason. (Ozzy is a whole different issue; he is small enough to be hawk food!)
