The Story of Us: January 2011

Jan 30, 2011

So this past week, I went as I do everyday to take Chloe to the state forest.

I was with Lindsey and her mom. We met this man there and his dog.

I had seen him before but with 2 dogs, but one of them was missing, the bigger one.

We were just talking before we met him about coyotes.

He asked us if we had seen his missing dog. We hadn't.

He then told us that a pack of 5 coyotes chased his dogs

while he was on one of the smaller trails... One came back but the other didn't!

I felt so bad for him!

I hope he found him, but the chances are the coyotes got him!

I still take Chloe there but do not venture close to where he lost his dog.

I do think about it every time I go there now, I worry when she goes too far...

I know that they can lure dogs away from you while pretending to want to play.

Then the whole pack comes in for the kill!

My little bottle of pepper spray would be no match for a pack like that,

especially if they are far away from me,

and they have Chloe.
