Coyotes were responsible for several cats and at least one dog death out of
the town in suburban Dallas where I used to practice. I've treated several
for odd bites received while they were supposedly alone in the yard. They
come along the creek beds and drainage ditches and are quite comfortable in
cities and towns.

A couple of nights ago I heard hooting from the fireplace and we went out
and saw a large owl perched on the chimney (we're still in suburbia.) Way
cool, but my 7 lb. dachshund didn't get her nightly run in the yard! (She
and her 11 lb daughter are the smallest dogs I've ever had, and the best. I
highly recommend small useless dogs now! :))
