Well I pray that the children are ok. They probably got rabies shots. When I was a kid, there was an urban legend that rabies shots were very painful for humans.

That the shots were 6 or 12 in number, given in the abdomen and incredibly painful to receive? Those urban legends? But were they all legend?

This coyote was in my backyard 5 years ago yesterday looking for my two cats. He was one of three circling around back there. Thankfully they were inside at the time. We never let them go out in the yard again after that. We did build them a cat enclosure off of our deck so that they can still enjoy fresh air.

Sorry, I don’t know how to make the photo smaller other than a thumbnail.

They have a short time to find the animal and test it. Not likely they can be sure they are getting the right one. The kids will be getting shots.

Seen more than one in my part of DFW. Had one follow the Mrs. and I last Spring during a very early morning walk. It backed off after a bit, but YIKES.

I wasn’t carrying anything to fight it with, but did have my iPhone in case it wanted selfies with my corpse.

Coyotes eat stray neighbor’s cats

This is why you kill every coyote you can every chance you get. It makes them skittish around people and they take their business somewhere else. It’s when they get habituated to humans that they’re bound to cause trouble.
