Coyotes are out and nearby

The other day I went out for a walk with my dog, and guess what was crossing the street right in front of us? He was just trotting along, looking around, quite interested in the noisy geese nearby. All he succeeded in doing, though, was getting them to squawk and fly away. And get my dog very excited about a possible opportunity. Opportunity of doing what, though, I never found out - because I didn't let him off the leash.

But I was very tempted. The coyote ended up dashing off across the next street, and I do not know where he was headed.

I was just glad that my dog didn't have the opportunity to confront it.
