Thanks for the lion link Chemar. That was really cool!

Yes, thanks, Chemar! :D

Onebeed, so sorry about the attack on your dog. Had to be a very traumatic experience for Checkers and for you. It's wonderful you and Checkers had a couple more years together to spend fun and healing times together. :hug:

Warmly,
DejaVu

Coyotes are endemic in my rural area. I've had several close encounters, in broad daylight. They are no longer timid and, as we're about to acquire a small dog, I'm wondering what protection I should carry during walks.

We have bobcats, too, but, so far, they've kept their distance.
