Picture if you will a quiet, peaceful night. Temperaures in the low 60's, windows open, a slight breeze--perfect sleeping weather. The entire "family" is crammed on one bed--a typical arrangement for basset lovers.
Suddenly, at 2:40 AM something wakes me up...and wakes up both dogs...and wakes up the c@t. But all is quiet. Until we all hear what woke us. Not quite a bark, not quite a whine, not quite a howl--something that combines all 3 in a high pitched vocal range. Yup, a coyote. But remember folks, coyotes don't travel alone.
Fortunately all "family" members were indoors....but I worried about the dogs in the neighborhood who live outside tied up (I worry about THAT for lots of reasons!) in their yard and were answering the call of the coyote. Difficult to get back to sleep.
