Coyote Encounter
Ebbey: Coyotes are Really Evil!
Walking Ebbey, the J (a large rescued rottweiler cross) and Bu (Ebbey’s large 14 year old geriatric friend), a large male coyote was loping by and stopped on a hill to look down on us. He was only about 50 feet away. Ebbey broke into scream barking mode, and began jump circling as the other two dogs watched. Ebbey bumped Bu in her fervor, knocking the old dog onto her butt. This led me to grab the scruff of Ebbey’s neck for a reprimand. Just about the same time, her harness broke. Someone was looking out for us, as this prevented Ebbey from running at the coyote and possibly getting herself maimed or worse. Someone had found the remains of a border collie sized dog, in this coyote’s territory, so I’m not sure how a crazed ridgeback would fare against a big male.
