Don’t go chasin coyotes cuz you definitely won’t win
In my mind and leap years I’m 16, but if I do the math I grin
Narly teeth and snarls, you might shoo them away
But get an achy back with scrapes and scratches so I best not play
In the end you’ll only end up with a few bruises and lacerations
So best to keep my day job, less gray hair, and take a staycation

Well, don’t don’t chasin coyotes unless your John Coyote aka Johnathan Caswell his reblogging site 🤣
He is a master story teller, poet, rebloger supporting all of our work.
The weekend didn’t let up with another coyote at our window and one at our hot tub withing 5 feet of us. Hunter was with us on a leash and we quickly brought him in and went after it to scare it away. It seems there is not much to do about them on your property, other than keep them in and your dog on a leash which doesn’t sit well with me. I personally don’t want to have to encounter them, let alone my animals. Animal control says they can’t do anything unless you have been bit. I am all about being proactive and taking the precautions necessary before the inevitable happens. I have warned all the neighbors, ordered all sorts of lights, lion urine, horns etc and am meeting with someone today to figure out our best plan of attach.
End rant….. well almost! 🤣
California Fish and Wildlife officials on Wednesday confirmed that the coyote that bit a 3-year-old girl this week is the same animal that bit three other individuals last year in the East Bay.
“The coyote’s DNA profile is a match to the coyote responsible for the three other attacks that occurred all in the same vicinity between July and December 2020,” Fish and Wildlife Capt. Patrick Foy told The Chronicle Wednesday in an email.
Thanks always for your support. My back is getting better, thanks for your kind messages.
Have a great day!
Until next time!

Yes, thanks for the reminder. 🤗

Right!!!
Aren’t you cute.
Don’t go messin with Cat Woman.. 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
🤣💖
Enjoy your time alone!
Thanks much!!!❤️
Ohhh you killed it with that pose there 💗💗💗
Ps-then when do you celebrate your birthday then??? 28??
I adore that cute picture of you with your fur babies Cindy😍 We used to live close to a nature reserve and often see coyotes. It’s important we allow them to be without chasing or attempting to scare them more than they already are. I view we humans as the invaders, not the other way around. We must all coexist in harmony. Such poignancy in your poem mixed with your wit and humor🙌✨❤🤗
I do hope that you recover soon from your back pain, sorry to hear this. Maybe your weekend away will do you the world of good from a healing perspective.
Coyotes are something that I had never thought about, and I was shocked to read that they are so close to homes and pets!
Stay safe
Cindy, I am glad you are recovering from chasin’ coyotes! <3 I have heard reports that we have coyotes in the East, but haven't seen one. What do you think should be done about them? In the case of bears and wild boars, which we do have in Florida, they trap and move them away to less-populated areas.
Love the photo with your pets! <3 Great poem. It would be hilarious if the situation were not so serious!
Enjoy your vacation. Stay safe and enjoy being with your children! <3 <3 <3
Oh dear, I’m older than you😂 Loved the poem! Have a great time!🤗💕
🤣🤣🤣thanks and thanks.. I’m sure you’ll hear about it. ❤️🤣
Of course! Can’t wait!😂❤️
You’re cute!!! and Sweet and Kind!💖🙏
🤗❤️✨
Was imagining and smiling as i read the poem, made me feel winter somehow. The pets look engaged and lovely. Hope some sun and river find you on the holidays coming Cindy.
Nara
So good to see you Narayan. Aww that is a lovely visual seeing your smile. They sure are engaged. That sounds delightful! Appreciated and you stay blessed. Thanks!❤️
Thanks for sharing this ‘coyote’ poem, Cindy! I am gonna take your advice to the heart. I’ll be taking a staycation of the mind and deal with the coyotes later.
Your situation is pretty serious, real stalking coyotes sound scary!
Cute photo though! Hunter looks all serious, seems like he’s trying to spot coyotes outside in the photo too haha
Have fun during your outing 🙂
~Jay
You’re welcome Jay and good idea not to go playng with them. Maybe the coyotes of your mind? 🤣🤗
It is really upsetting as it seems the coyotes have more protection than us these days which is so annoying when you are being threatened. They have nothing that is hunting them so they are getting overpopulated. Fine, just not in my yard.
Yeah Hunter is ready for them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks I’m looking forward to it.
“Coyotes have more protection than us” LOL Sounds about right though,🤣 take care Cindy 🤗
It seriously grrrrrrr… don’t get me started.. 💖🤣
Oh my! I hope you and your pets stay safe. We co-exist with coyotes too who lose more land each year to new subdivisions. I have never had any issues, but one must be aware, especially with pets. I do love seeing them on the trails.
I know, thanks Michele. I am in a residential area that is above a creek. I’m afraid people feed them. I love seeing them on trails where I know to expect them, just not in the window of my back yard. 😜
Thanks for your check in! ❤️
There are coyotes all over the U.S. Great advice in the video. Stay safe and well!
Yes, and they’d gotten so brazen.
I too thought the video was well done.
Thanks and I’m off to go out with my horn. lol🤣
you do the same!
Hope the problem of the uninvited visits of the Coyotes is resolved soon. You look lovely in the pic Cindy. Enjoy your staycation <3 !
Thanks so much Radhika! I really appreciate it. Me too!
Oh thanks so much! I’m looking forward to it. ❤️
All of them look so scary. Have a great weekend. You deserve it 😇
They’re beautiful just not on my doorstep!
Thanks so much Kumar, I will! 💖
Enjoyed the poem my dear.
Stay inspired
Thanks Drew… Always, life does that to us! 💖🥰
You will rarely see a coyote. Native American believe the coyote is the trickster, the wise one. Always planning and rarely caught. Hello dear Cindy. Good afternoon from Michigan.
Oh it’s the worst right now. This is true … Did you get my little plug on Johnnie the coyote i hope?.. xo
I did. I do appreciate Cindy. Years(1991-2000) ago I went to Death Valley in California. I drove the gas and water trucks for the Army for the hot weather training. I have a hard name to pronounce. The soldiers called me Sgt. C. In the desert, every morning four desert coyotes would find my water truck. I would dig a path for the water and feed them some meat from the MRE. They would find me every morning and the soldiers saw me giving them the water. They were large and scary looking coyotes. My soldiers started calling Sgt. Coyote. So I kept the name for my writing. I was a trickster in real life also.
Oh yeah… it was a good little tie in I thought-:). Couldn’t pass it up.
OMG Johnnie that is amazing. So you are responsible for the echo change in our word 🤣. I know you have a good heart. I’m telling the neighbors not to feed them!!!
This is a great story! 💖
If you feed them. They will come back dear Cindy. I agree. They will kill small animals.
ugh… I know. That’s what I’m afaid of .. 😢
Ah, enjoy your “me time”; and, I hope you continue to feel better, Cindy!! ❤❤❤
Thanks soooo much Jeff, I sure will! Feeling better by the day! Thanks! 💖
So wow Cindy 🤩💖
and you so sweet!❤️💖🤗🌷
💖🤗
Hey Cindy, loved your Coyote poem, some great advice out there, hope your back is all fine now and you had a great staycation❤️😊 And you look so adorable and geared up with your lovely hunter and 🐱
Take care dear, have a lovely week ahead🤗🤗😘❤️❤️❤️
Oh Thanks Samreen! Quick thoughts there and so apropos right!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m forging ahead with my mission. Poor animals are cooped up at the moment. Actually, I’m actually getting out of dodge Friday … excited. Oh thanks so much. When you said dear, I think deer.. used to have a lot of those on the property too. 🤣 you have a great one too and big hugs and love to you!❤️💖🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖
Are you going to do some magic with the ingredients you bought?
‘I have warned all the neighbors, ordered all sorts of lights, lion urine, horns etc and am meeting with someone today to figure out our best plan of attach.’
This is what made me think about magic. Lion Urine..is it really available?
Gosh, I’m still looking into my crystal ball.. lol 🤣 Well, there is coyote and deer urine that will just bring more.. I’m still researching in the meantime holed up her .. Yikes!!!! I’ll let you know! Thanks Kritika!
Lols. Done. 😀
hahhahahhah
Nice poem on coyotes.have a well deserved getaway and a very happy birthday celebration 🥰
Thanks so much Marlene!
YES, I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for the early wishes! 💖
ahhh the gift of the coyote…we have many healthy coyotes here…right in our alley…nice bushy tail…super healthy…I think we have an over population of them currently in Etown…they can bye quite brazen ~ lovely poetic words Cindy ~ have a joyful day smiles hedy ☺️❣️
The gift that keeps on giving here-:( Oh my, they are very healthy. There is nothing hunting them which is a problem. They sure can be! Animals are going stir crazy inside all day. Oh thank you Hedy, glad you liked my Diddley. Thanks and you too! 💖❤️
The reason behind the arrival of the coyote finally is solved,😊😉 it’s another beautiful poem by you. Hope you and your pets are doing well..💕💕
Unfortunately yes! Hopefully, we can figure out how to send him on his way! Oh glad you liked. It’s like cabin fever Rosida since I’m keeping them.
Thanks for you concern! 💖
Yes..yes.Hope soon u will succeed👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks soooo much!!!
Me too! 🤗
My great pleasure💓💓
Cindy, I love your poem and your picture!
Now I have to go listen to TLC 😉
Blessings! ♥♥
Thanks Ana Star!
❤️💖🤗🌷
and blessings to you!
“In my heart and leap year, I’m 16 but if I do the math I grin”
I actually did see you grin😂😂😂, in my head by the way.
Reading your writings gives me so much positive energy😊😊
You were sooo right… and now do you see me laughing?!🤣🤣🤣
Awww and now I’m beaming …. thank you so much Roffy!💖
We are much more likely to see foxes here instead of coyotes. For the most part, they stay away. I think that all of our neighbors are careful with food that they might like. I don’t mind if they eat a few ground squirrels. 🙂 Glad to hear you are recovering from your chase. And that you are escaping, going off the grid, so to speak. Me too. –Curt
I saw a fox nab a cat looking out the window in session and the client saw it too (it was her cat) it was horrid. I would invite them in if they just ate the squirrels happily. Oh meeee to and you too! YAY!!!! 💖
Now that would be bad! Me…Ow!
Sorry about the delayed response here, Cindy. Peggy and I have been over at Pt. Reyes celebrating my birthday. Saw a pair of coyotes. They were digging up and scarfing down sand crabs on the beach. 🙂 –Curt
I wondered if you moved there! 🤣 Been wondering how you have been.., Haven’t seen you writing? The beach is a good spot for them I suppose.. 🤣🤗 Good to hear from you! 💖
I took a week off. 🙂 Back to work now. Grin.
whooooo hoooooo! Good for you! Glad I didn’t miss anything! 👏
🙂 You are so nice…
Special friends are important to me. Thanks Curt!🤗
Cayotes are kind of cute although I definitely won’t be chasing one any time soon!
Smart girl. That’s why Hunter wears a bright African collar as not to confuse hin with one since he kinda looks like one. 💖💖
This brought back my memories of a white dog chasing me on the streets!
Oh no Kavi!!!! Crazy!!!💖
Hi, Cindy, good to hear your back is better & you’re taking a well-deserved break! Adorable picture! 🌞
