Where In The World Did We Move To?
Sunday night we are watching the news, and the second or third story in they talk about coyotes. Apparently at some park on the weekend a coyote came down from the mountain, went into a playground and grabbed a toddler by the butt and started to drag her away. The nanny ran to the kid, grabbed it and pulled it away from the coyote.
The next story was about mountain lion and bobcat sightings somewhere in the hills.
Excuse me? Coyotes grabbing kids from the playground?
Well apparently it happened again because they have shut down a park nearby, here is the story.
Now let’s just think about this for a minute, sentence by sentence.
- A coyote came down from the hills
- Said coyote went to a play ground and grabbed a toddler by the butt
- The nanny grabbed the toddler away from the coyote
- The coyote went back into the hills
Is this normal here? Do I need to be careful when walking Carter? (jk)

That is the crazy shit I have ever heard!!!!!! It is almost unbelieveable. We ahve coyotes and cougars. Fritz would want to play with them, my mom is terrifed to let him out alone!!!! I think Carter might be ok he is sort of big and if you are there you can just pull him away. Since the coyotes don’t seem to mind giving up there dinner!!!!!

Well yeah ya gotta be careful - sheesh! You need US to tell you THAT?! But coyote, heck, that’s nothing! We’ve got PUMA’s. Thassright, four legged, whisker twitchin’, fang gnashin’ cougars, cougars running in the hood. Biguns too. 150 pounds! So quit your candyass whining. Heck, a coyotes just a big dog, well, a big wild dog, well, a big wild dog that’ll grab your ass but a cougar, she-e-it you don’t even see them coming. They can be crouched under a VW! They can be up a dam tree! So thank your lucky stars you only have coyotes.
