Coyote Chase

Today, a coyote got between Chloe and I and boy was it scary!
She was behind me as we were walking in Jones forest. 
I turned around and saw that she was frozen and stopped following me. 
I kept walking. I turned around a few seconds later and she was still there. 
I kept walking, turned around again and saw a big coyote chasing her away from me! 
I thought I was going to lose her! 
I ran as fast as I could toward the coyote while screaming to Chloe to come to me. 
I kept running and screaming. 
After what seemed like an eternity, but was probably just 20 seconds, 
the coyote gave up the chase and returned to the woods. 
It could have been the speed of Chloe that deterred it, 
or it may have been the crazed woman screaming frantically after it! 
I'll never know, but I am so grateful this encounter ended like it did. 
Of course, I forgot to put my pepper spray back in my pouch. 
We got back late last night from Cincinnati. 
I had left the pepper spray in Texas.
