That works, too-- just be sure you are screaming at the top of your lungs! Only a few of our neighbors have had trouble hazing coyotes successfully, and I think the mistake most people make is that they are not loud enough-- they are embarrassed about waking people up. Where we live, fortunately, it's understood: If coyotes are around, and near dogs, it's fine to wake up the whole block.  

indeed they were. looks like another legendary pair rising (as it were) here

I've been vaccinated and boosted against Puppy Fever but believe I just caught it anyway  

Thank you for that slice of their adventure.  I like how Walter finds help clamoring over Amos.

That is so sweet! He is a gentle soul, but my hunch is that the moment will come when he puts it together. All in good time. Birdie, at 10 months,  thought the whole thing was strange and a bit scary. We let her try Intro a couple of times and she even met the rat up close at Friday practice, but decided to pull her from the rest of the events. Too soon.
