Coyotes ARE Evil!
Ebbey: My suspicions are confirmed. Coyotes are evil. Two tried to kill my Bu.
Ebbey, J (a large rescued rottweiler cross), Bu (Ebbey’s large 14 year old geriatric friend) and I were out for a walk. It was dark and no one else was around. Bu has her moments of vigor, but generally drags along behind. As we passed a green area, a silhouetted coyote was standing under a street light. Ebbey wasn’t quite sure what kind of dog this was and reluctantly continued to walk. Within seconds, she broke into her viscous bark coyote screaming mode as the coyote and a second one crossed the street behind us. Keeping all three dogs in close proximity, I tried to usher the scream barking and circling ridgeback down the hill. Ebbey’s screaming suddenly became more violent as the coyotes crossed back and began following. They seemed attracted to her distress and were moving in for an opportunity to poach Bu. Despite my cussing, Ebbey’s scream barking and the J’s aggressive circles the coyotes kept coming towards us. Finally a few cars turned off the freeway and they took off. I like coyotes, but am annoyed that some urban dwellers have become so aggressive. Not many country coyotes would be this bold.
