I saw the strangest thing yesterday

[Kathi]

I looked out my front window yesterday morning and saw a young coyote in my yard happily munching on our left over dinner from the night before. My SO had put the bag with chicken wings on our front porch instead of putting it in the garbage can. The bag was out there less than an hour. When I opened the door the coyote sauntered away. I yelled and to try to scare him but he wasn't too bothered by me.

We are very careful with our garbage and have never had a problem with coyotes in our yard so it was surprising how quickly this guy found the food. The scary part is it had no qualms about coming right up on our porch.

I wonder which bones it found the tastiest, I bet it was the ones with the Montgomery Inn Barbeque Sauce from a restaurant in Cincinnati.

My kitty is also an indoor cat as is most of the pets in this neighborhood.

A few years back, I heard my dog yelping her 'scared' yelp and when I ran outside, a deer was chasing her. My dog saw me, ran towards me and up onto the deck behind me. I just stood my ground until the deer kept coming at me and then we both ran inside. I watched from the window as the deer turned and headed into the woods. She flipped up her tail and I saw blood on the white part (it was a big white-tailed deer). She'd VERY recently given birth! Not 5 minutes later, my boyfriend at the time spotted the fawn through the trees.

Anyway, since I now know that deer chase dogs and will even stand up to humans to protect their babies...I totally believe the deer was chasing the coyote in your yard! Good for her!
