Am I in the Jungle???

Nobody seems to remember that I am a CITY boy.  Tonight, I had to face yet another challenge - I was out for my last stroll, and  heard this blood-curdling screech/howl.  I was sure it was a lion.  Or maybe a bear.  Oh, no, the FM says casually - it's just a coyote. 

JUST A COYOTE?  Are they kidding me?  It's probably 400 pounds with fangs dripping blood.  And they wonder why I keep eating leaves!  I'm trying to poison myself before the wild beasts around here get me.  I don't care about the 6 foot fences all over the place - what if the coyote has wings?  Has anybody out there ever see a coyote?  I'm going to put National Geographic on overnight....I'll watch until my eyes fall out - maybe they'll have a feature on Magee-eating coyotes.

(Yup - he may have a cold, but it hasn't impacted his vivid imagination.  He did hear a coyote.  He did survive - oh gee, what a surprise.  I told him if his eyes fall out he won't be able to go back to the clinic to see his friends, so he's decided that he'll go to bed instead.)
