I live in a very suburban neighboorhood, but lately we have had to extra careful and carry a big stick because we have at least 2 coyotes wandering through the area!
Kasey was confronted by two of them when she was walking our small dog a few evening ago, and thank goodness she had her stick and knew to yell and make herself to appear big and mean.
Come to find out the city of Long Beach brought the coyotes to the airport nearby to keep down the population of critters!
