I don't hate any animal. Except cockroaches. If I see a cockroach, it's WWIII.

We have coyotes in our yard every night. We also have a small dog. She is under 20 lbs and thinks she's a Great Dane. She goes outside and barks and barks. Just as I was reading this post at 2:44am, out she goes to bark at a pack of at least three coyotes on our property. We've seen them jump six foot fences to get some fresh meat. We are trying really hard for it to not be her!!!!! But she isn't getting the message. I had to run to the kitchen, out the door and scold her back inside and make her get into her bed and close the dog run so she couldn't get out again.

We have scorpions, rattlesnakes, desert quail (so cute!), snakes, lizards, javelina, roadrunners, rabbits, ground squirrels, all the desert animals and the coyotes are out there looking for dinner every night. We have to protect our little 20lb guard dog.
