They would often try to lure our dogs away when we were out walking so they could attack them as a group. I kept a shotgun at the back door to my studio because they would hang around outside the fence when our smaller dogs would go out. I admire them, but I protect myself and my pets when necessary.Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-73465750734454008382009-01-30T14:55:00.000-08:002009-01-30T14:55:00.000-08:00Har!Plenty of the canis latrans on Vancouver, I'll...Har!<BR/><BR/>Plenty of the canis latrans on Vancouver, I'll wager.<BR/><BR/>The Indians called them the joker, and the saying goes about the last man on Earth.

I also love coyotes. An amazingly successful species that I've actually seen near downtown Toronto; a friend once revealed to me their secret for success. 'If it's too small to f--k, they eat it, and if it's too big to eat, they f--k it.' I hope I've got that right, I had to think about it a bit...Either way, a very brave dog indeed.Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157933440777720220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-27371179340493626172009-01-30T11:52:00.000-08:002009-01-30T11:52:00.000-08:00I didn't think of defending my artistic space that...I didn't think of defending my artistic space that way.

The local union sent me a letter suggesting we get certified in another suject. It makes me really mad they think art and music isn't important to the children's education. People need to get involved and let their politicians know how they feel.emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682910529292894281noreply@blogger.com
