Thanks for your comments. She obviously does not feel safe wandering on her own because she has taken to staying on the deck or front porch if she is out alone. Now, it is another situation if my husband is out. It is so cute. She follows him around like a puppy dog.

Yesterday she was on the porch and had a run in with a neighborhood cat that roams around the area. It wasn't a bad fight but I'm proud to say my little girl gave the other cat what for. She is a toughie.

Sorry for spelling coyote wrong. I knew it was wrong but I couldn't figure out what was right. Chalk it up to old age.
