by the way...I think my neighbors would call the police on me if they saw me marking the property line :) Also, I would look awful funny doing it....

Well, you don't have to squat out there... :lol: put some in a jar, and into a squirt gun. You don't need more than a few drops here and there.

Ok. Now I know what my pets have been smelling around the back yard so much for the last few days. Last night I was on my deck and I heard something prancing around the woods and the frosty yard. I looked over and saw what I thought was a big fox, but it had a different look to it and was bigger. Then it stopped and stared me down for awhile. After running back into the woods, it circled back around. I was waiting for it to reappear when another one came from the neighbors yard. At this point I ran in the house because I am a big chicken..lol

After describing it to my sister in Ohio she said that it sounded exactly like a Coyote. I looked this up and was shocked to see that this is exactly what they were. I had no idea that we had them in Southern Maryland, but evidentally they are everywhere.

I read that they will normally not bother humans but they will hurt small animals. I have two Pomeranians. Does anyone know if they will try to approach if I have my dogs on leashes and take them out there at night, and I am holding on to them?

I am a bit scared that they were up so close to my house and the one was staring at me like that. I'm sure my fear comes from not knowing too much about them. If anyone with expertise in this area has any suggestions for me, that would be great!

this is scary!!!! wow. I think there is some kind of repellant to spray. There ought to be!!!!

I have a fenced in yard... but dear get in all of the time. They just jump over. I'm sure coyotes could too. I'd say shoot it.

This is pretty cool, I didn't know we had Coyotes on the East coast. Apparently they're all throughout North America except for the most Northern parts of Canada.

Wikipedia said:
A study showed that of 100 coyotes collected in Maine, 22 had half or more wolf ancestry, and one was 89 percent wolf. A theory has been proposed that the large eastern coyotes in Canada are actually hybrids of the smaller western coyotes and wolves that met and mated decades ago as the coyotes moved toward New England from their earlier western ranges.

I just thought that was interesting.
