Good.
I love all animals but will shoot something that might hurt *my* animals, if I have to.
We will likely never see him again (the coyote/wolf). They generally don’t come out in the day time. The fact that we saw him mid morning makes me wonder about his health. However, he looked exceptionally healthy. The only time I’ve ever seen coyote here before was in the spring after a hard winter. They are skinny and mangy looking then.
This animal was so good looking that you have to wonder if he was somebody’s mixed breed dog. That would tear me up — to shoot somebody’s dog. But, it would tear me up worse to have something happen to my sweet, senior Golden Retriever.
