So if you guys remember,I got two Parson Russell terriers,a tad bigger than jack russells,they weigh about 25 pounds. Tough little dogs,I love them.
Today we went to scout a new to us piece of state land and I have the doggies of the leash,they are good about staying within 50 yds or so.
In June they got attacked by a doe,that was pretty wild.
The woods looked deery and were fairly high stem count in spots. We got almost to the top of a hill and the doggies made it up before me.
Pretty quickly I heard the older one yelp,that is generally not good. Either she is chasing something or being chased. The younger came flying back towards me and I still hadn't crested the hill. The other dog yelped again but appeared a few seconds later full speed towards me. I half expected a deer chasing her but this time it was a big coyote! He got pretty close,maybe 15 yds or so but ran past me keeping an eye on my dog who also ran past me...luckily I got her to turn around,because there is no way I catch up to her or a coyote.
I can't believe she almost ended up as coyote food,what is going on in these woods this year? She came out alright but has a small gash on her rump,good thing the coyote didn't get a better hold of her.
Good thing we humans are the size we are or the woods might be a scary place for us.
