More wildlife is invading our neighborhood especially as there is more development.

Fortunately they stay on the other side of our backyard fence.

Speaking of wildlife. . . On my weekly runs through the trails, I have seen lots of cottontails, one skunk, one opossum, lots of lizards, and the hoot of one owl at dusk. You just wouldn't guess all the wildlife that occurs in and around suburbia.

Fortunately, we have a dog and not cats, because they are known to be lunch for the coyotes like the pics above. We know personally of several people who have lost their cats and even small dogs (Pomeranian) to coyotes. Rosy has her speed going for her. Plus she's a scaredy cat and runs and barks into her cage inside our house. We haven't seen the coyotes jump the fence--it would be close to a 20' drop, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't try if it got hungry enough.
