Lions and tigers and coyotes, oh my

The report of an attack by a rabid coyote in Guilford Courthouse National Park has, well, freaked me out.

I often run in the park at dusk or walk my little lhasa apso. I don't know whether I'll continue that practice, at least for now. A coyote could eat my tiny dog as an appetizer.

Until, the most memorable vision of wildlife I'd seen there were deer and a huge, brown snake slithering across the road as walkers and joggers made wide turns out of its way.

Makes me wonder now whether thst alleged fox sighting downtown several months ago was a coyote.

All clear this morning in the park, for lhasas and humans alike. There were two guys who seemed to be on coyote patrol - animal control, perhaps? They were walking a large black pit bull looking dog. Fewer people than normal, but I think that was more the rain than the coyote threat. C'mon back.

OK, I will. Maybe this weekend. Maybe sooner. Thanks for the report, Walker.
