Close Call!
Wow, I just let dogs out back and they tear off the porch. In day time that usually means cat, bird or squirrel. At night we have a ton of possums an occasional raccoon or worse skunk. I leave work at 4:30 am so I always go out with flood light and scan yard before letting dogs out. Tonight though since it was still light out I opened door and a coyote took off running. Luckily I had saw horses out and it leaped onto that and over the 6 foot fence.
I had gate opened because I had power washed the drive way and put car in back. I live in a highly populated neighborhood with no park areas around. In 30 years here I have seen only one deer on my street and this coyote.
Glad he jumped the fence. I wouldn't have looked forward to breaking up a fight with 2 Boxers and a wild dog. We have so many feral cats this year is probably why.
