Oh boy, I lived in a neighborhood in a desert. I had an Alaskan Malamute which had wolf in him. There was a St. Bernard next door and a German shepherd next door to that. Everyone knew to never leave a dog out in a fenced yard at night. A pack of coyotes jumped the fence and all that was left of the German shepherd was an ear.
Once my wife and stepdaughter who was about 10 at the time left town for a 2 day trip to Palm Springs.
We had a cat that was a threat to get outside. All she wanted to do was rolly polly around on the concrete but still, in coyote country you know not to let animals outside as a habit.
Last thing I asked Allie was if Chrissy was inside. She said yes.
Well when we get back Sunday nite, no Chrissy. Allie went to pieces thinking that the cat was outside and in the belly of some beast.
I looked for that cat for about 30 mins until finally it comes out of the bushes crying for me. I just knew that she was ok. Cats aren’t stupid. I bet she didn’t get more then 10 feet from where I found her the entire weekend.
Allie was the happiest little girl in the world when I brought the cat to her.
Nothing like the sound of a pack of coyote ripping a living animal to pieces.
Makes you wonder why nature has to be so cruel.

Next time, I'll figure a safer place to keep a pet sea lion, like maybe in a fish tank in the den. With all this "endangered species" nonsense running rampant in America, you never know what kind of wild animal can attack you pets today.
Hey, do bald eagles like ex-wives?. . .
Horrible story. Our dogs are indoor pooches and when they go outside, I go outside with them, even with the fence. Too many wild critters around here.
