Well, I had an AD-VEN-SHURE last nite. See, my momma took me out for da "Last Call" bidness trip. It wuz 2 in da Ay Ems. And did I do any bidness?? NOPE! And neither did Brinley. Da mommas knew we needed to do bidness, so dey decided to take us on a late nite (or early mornin) walk. Dey knew we wuzn't gonna get to walk today since it are a MONSOON out dere and Brinley's daddy are gettin rid of da Kitty-Cat-A-Racks in da udder eye. So off we went. And we wuz havin lotsa fun doin late nite sniffin. Den I stopped dead in my tracks. It wuzn't da bunneh eggcitement stop - I woulda been pullin towards Bugsy. I stopped like I duz sometimes when somebody are followin us. And somebody wuz! Da mommas turned round and saw a COYOTE - only one house back. And he wuz stalkin us! So Brinley's momma yelled and Mr. Coyote took off. And it wuz all cuz I alerted her! Brinley nefur even noticed!
I are finkin maybe Mr. Coyote heard Brinley's momma singin da coyote song from Hank da Cowdog earlier on da walk "me just a worthless coyote, me howlin' at the moon . . . " Anyways, it are NOT my fault for refusin to do my bidness and demandin a walk at 2 in da Ay Ems. Dat are #fakenews. I are a hero, I saved Brinley and da mommas from certain coyote death.
I fink Finley wuz just happy she did her bidness and got to stay home. But she missed out on all da eggcitement!
That was a very scary adventure. Kinley, you are very brave and we are so happy your middle of the night walk had a happy ending. We had a pack of coyotes in our area a few years ago and those bad coyotes were stealing dogs, small ones like you three. The animal control had to trap the male of the group and they moved him far away. The female and the pups took off. But it made for a very nervous neighborhood. Be careful out there.

Momma said dere has been coyotes here furever. But dis are da furst time one has ever stalked one (or two) of us.
DeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteOMD... you are a well and truly HEROINE, Kinley. But getting da bidness done quick smart might be the better end of valour from now on. 'K? Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Hmmm, maybe.
DeleteWe've never seen any coyotes but we often hear them. It's a good thing you told your momma so she could scare it off.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it wuz.
DeleteHowl did you know it was a male?
ReplyDeleteWho else follows cute girls in da dark after "Last Call"?
DeleteThose coyotes are getting so bold! We have them here in Vancouver and we have even seen one in our neighbourhood walking down the street in broad daylight! You all must have been happy to get home safe and sound and all because of your brave warning Kinley!
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
Yikes!
DeleteWay to go Kinley!! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Rosy
Hopefully ya won't hafta alert your momma to a coyote!
DeleteYou are indeed a hero Kinley. I am totally impressed.
ReplyDeleteRespect!
Bertie.
Fanks!
Deleteyou are a super hero!!! Bravo Bravo... terriers have the hearts of lions and their braveness (apart from that lion in da story of dorothy of course)
ReplyDeletePretty shure Toto wuz da brave one there.
DeleteWhoa - I'm with Finley. Mom and I both can do without that kind of excitement! I'm so glad you guys are SAFE!
ReplyDeleteSo are we!
DeleteWe don't mind running into a fox, but the coyotes in the dawn hours around here scare mom. Glad you are safe.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteYou are very brave. We've had some coyote sightings in near by towns and it is quite scary as they've also attacked some dogs. Do be careful girls as we want you to stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWe has lotsa coyotes in dis nayborhood. Apparently bobcats too, but momma has nefur seen dem.
DeleteWOW, Kinley, they're so lucky you were around and on alert!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteThat must have been kinda scary! Our mom heard an owl hooting when we were on our last call last night. She always worried one may swoop down and try to carry us off
ReplyDeletehugs
Hazel & Mabel
We has owls and hawks here too. And apparently, hawks have carried off small pups before here!
DeleteWow, that was an adventure and we think you are a real hero!!
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On!
Murphy & Stanley
I really are.
DeleteWOW! You really saved the day.....AND your family! We're still thinkin' about the 2 a.m. thing. We would have just been tossed out in the back yard by ourselves...no walk.
ReplyDeleteWell, da coyotes are one of da reasons we aren't ever just tossed out - dey can scale fences.
Deletewhoa.....kinley.....ya gotta watch out for them wolf wanna beez...they can bee vizshuz...de momma did rite in yellin; they kneadz ta get a whistle sew they can blow it; coyoteez due knot like de sound...it will bee help full... next 2 aye am toy let run :) ♥♥ { trooth bout de whistle thing ! } ♥♥
ReplyDeleteDat are a smart idea!
DeleteOMD I would have been terrified! You did a pawesome job and thank dogness your Mama had you on a leash!!! I have heard of coyotes picking up little dogs and cats in their yards that don't have leashes! They ARE afraid of humans (THANK DOGNESS!!) so Mama did the right thing! Well done! xoxo
ReplyDeleteDakotasDen
Apparently some even will attack a small dog WHILE it's on a leash! We're never off-leash (becuz of coyotes, loose dogs, cars, etc)
DeleteYou are a true American hero. Thank God you are all right
ReplyDeleteI know, I deserve a medal.
DeleteOh good gravy! That's scary. Glad you saved everyone from Mr. Coyote!
ReplyDeleteIt wuz!
DeleteHow scary and good quick thinking on your mama's part. Where Mom used to live was a subdivision at the edge of farm country. She noticed coyotes trotting through the cul de sac one cold winter warning and warned her neighbor who had two tiny dogs that ran lose. Her neighbor said "that's OK, I have an invisible fence". (slap hand on forehead). Mom called the ladies husband and he sighed and said "I'll go out with them on a lead - and she IS a wonderful wife and mother" (just not particularly bright).
ReplyDeleteShe musta had some redeeming qualities (I won't say what my momma thinks dey must be since dis are a "family-friendly" blog - BOL!)
DeleteWow! You're lucky the coyote didn't try to catch you! We have them around here, but no where near my neighborhood. My Joanna human used to hear them in the woods behind her house when she lived further north and closer to Lake Ontario.
ReplyDeleteWe have them (and supposedly bobcats too) around here.
DeleteSometimes petcretary has seen coyotes and even a fox now and then...but I have not...yet. I would bark it. Oh and then hide. The big birds of prey are scarier, cause I am 1/2 the size that MJF was.
ReplyDeleteGlad that coyote was smart enough to run away.
We has hawks and owls here - a reason we're never outside by ourselves.
