Then you pull the thing out of your pocket that makes repeated loud noises and spits casings. :D
Yep! I am always hoping to get them in close enough and into the open for a shot or two at them. Buzzards would love for me to get a chance to drop them. And maybe I could sleep through the night without them singing so much.

Well. In deep thought as my heart rate settles.

At 60˚ and a perfect evening for a stroll, I take off West because the deer are munching the corn to the South. I see a couple of deer and think that they are missing out on the free corn, then I look a little closer and notice they are not deer they are those big coyotes I saw a week ago.

Just about the time I notice they are coyotes, Whipper, who is at my side, spots them and takes off after them. They are about a hundred yards away. One continues to trot into the woods the other has stopped and is watching Whipper approach him, kind of in disbelief. Whipper gets about 30 yards from the coyote and all the sudden 6 MORE coyotes come running full blast out of the woods toward Whipper, they are all yelping, Whipper put on her brakes, turns around and starts running to me at her, part greyhound, blinding speed.

The coyotes are catching up to Whipper and they are about 70 yards from me heading toward me with their blood curling yelps!!!

I reach into my pocket pulled out my - - - -

cellphone, saying -----deleted---- They don't make an app for this--------

They are 60 yards ----- 50 yards----getting real close to Whipper at 40 yards---- at 30 yards they still are coming full speed-----

I raise my hands and YELL as loud As I can, as I run toward them----

They stop. They turn around and run back into the woods. Good ending right---but NO. Whipper seeing them in retreat regains her confidence, turns around and start chasing after them.

One comes back out of the woods to confront Whipper and Whipper is running toward him and he is walking toward Whipper. I raise my hands again, the coyote notices me and slithers back into the brush. Whipper stops turns her head and looks at me, (I put my hands down quickly) content that she save the day.
The end.
Breathing fast- - - - thinking -----what if that would have not worked?
I really need a Plan B.

I would start by giving those coyotes a stern talking to. If that does not work, a strongly worded letter should suffice.

Don,
I would skip plan B and go straight to plan Kimber.

Farmgirl, you didn't happen to get your raindance confused with the earthquake dance, did you?;) Did you feel those tremors of the 3.6 earthquake north of Mineral Wells?

Yesterday, being Thanksgiving, I wanted to feel good, but that was not to be. I was weak and iffy all day. Luckily, all our 12 guests for Thanksgiving dinner were very tolerant and helpful. I ate a light meal of all my Thanksgiving favorites, so it wasn't a bust by any measure. We had a great day and I got to hold and love on my great-grandson all afternoon. He is such a sweet baby. He was here from noon to 7 PM and never even whimpered. He didn't care who held him. I have some pictures I'll post later. Today, I slept in and then had a big breakfast/brunch and am feeling great. My "black Friday" is not so bleak after all, and I didn't have to stand in any long lines. I hope you all had a joyful Thanksgiving.

Jim,
My kids and Grand daughter were at my ex MIL's house. She invited me up to their lake house for Turkey dinner. I jumped at the chance, as I wanted to see my Pumpkin Doodle. In the first photo, from the first of the week, she still had a slight fever and congestion. But she is all smiles.

Yesterday produced the last two photos while she was playing. Still all smiles.

hugs, Brandi

It may have been my fault (pun intended). I wore boots to dance in, in place of the spike heels, due to the cold. I might be a little heavier on my feet with those. Sorry! :ashamed:

I'm glad that you are feeling better today. It's no fun feeling ill any time, but with a holiday, it is rougher.
