Julie - 1, Coyote - 0

Hell hath no fury like a Julie protecting her baby Toby dog. Coyotes can run, but so can I ....plus I have a hell of a set of lungs that I can holler and shout with. (I get it from my Dad, both of us laugh LOUD -- talk LOUD, everything LOUD. LOL!!)

The coyote had been following us, and came out of nowhere and was suddenly right behind Toby. For some reason I looked around just at that moment...

I didn't even think -- I just acted. I started shouting and running after it. It looked back once at me as it was running away, it's tail down. But that sucker stayed in the vicinity and I saw it on the way back too.

Off to Victoria!! :)

Jeepers!! that is scary!! Hopefully wiley was not off to get his buddies? Don't they travel in packs? Curious he was on his own....

Ok this is not funny, I remember coyotes when I lived in Arizona, they are skiddish, unless they are real hungry, glad everything came out on the safe side.

Scary!! Glad you are ok.

I am considering the Shawnigan Oly (as we will be on the island anyway this weekend) so if I do it, I will look out for you!

OMG, I can picture this interaction and I am cracking up! Glad you protected your dog! I bet that coyote didn't know what hit it.
