Arooooo

B. or I (mostly B.) run Tanga every night, usually at the Heart Lake Conservation area just behind us. A few weeks ago while running the dogs (we usually run with a few other Vizsla owners) we heard coyotes howling in the forest below us. Well, it creeped me out completely. I asked the other dog owners (both hunters) if they are likely to attack dogs. They said probably not. Well… as we were entering the park tonight another dog owner was leaving and as he passed us he said another dog was just attacked by a pack of coyotes. A few minutes later the owner appeared with a blooded lab. We asked him where he came from… and it is the exact area we walk nearly every night. -cringe- Needless to say we packed the dogs up and headed to another location. I called the City of Brampton who said they can’t do anything unless the coyotes are on city property or in the open somewhere. *slap!* They are coyotes. They don’t stay in the open. They hit and run and return to the forest. Gah, so I told her that if someone goes in that area with a small dog it is likely going to be killed… Sorry sir nothing we can do… we don’t go in the forest and look for coyotes. So… if these coyotes are killing dogs you can’t do anything unless they are in the open and on a road. Yup. *sigh…………*
