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.)
Magee,
