[Mr Rogers]

I'm a live and let live guy with rattlesnakes. Coyotes? If the chance arises, I'll kill them. If you don't kill them from time to time, they lose their fear and are not pleasant.

About 10 years ago, on Edwards AFB, 6 coyotes stalked my daughter while she was walking our Border Collie. Both she and Leila knew full well they were being stalked, but between them they presented enough of a danger to the coyotes that there was no attack - and after 10 tense minutes, they made it back inside the family housing area.

Great photo.

But now I miss my wonderful border collie even more... {sigh}
