Their crazy songs are one of my favorite things about living in a rural area. They sound like a roving dog rave! So much yipping and screaming, so much energy, it's thrilling every time I hear them.
What crazy shit are they getting up to out there?!? Why do they sometimes sound like they're just a roving party and other times like they're the actual Wild Hunt?!
I know they want to eat my chickens, guineas, and probably also my cats, but they're just having such a good time out there that I can't be mad about it.
Occasional desperation instead of general boldness makes a lot more sense!
Whew, I can't imagine what that would be like. I've never had a dog small enough that a coyote could just whisk it away, and the confusion and horror that would result from that kind of seemingly-random attack would be so hard to deal with!
I can totally understand why some people are super scared of them.
