Will have to say that
the column, "Dogs and Coyotes," drew a lot of e-mails both to the blog
site and to my personal e-mail. (Note to Phil -- no, not "concerned or
scared to post personal e-mail because of your radical views." You can
contact me direct at horsecamping@comcast.net. Look
forward to your e-mail.) Anyway, got a dozen on the blog site and about 20 on
personal e-mail. And the count of was 98% in suppose of column, 2%
against.
Cheryl's reply I thought pretty much said it all ".....why
put your dog in harms way....." Good point, Cheryl. By the way,
Cheryl's dog is a Service Dog. So Cheryl could 'legally' take her dog on a
trail or into a horsecamp if the dog had a 'service dog' vest or collar
on. But Cheryl decided not to do that for the safety of her dog --
who is also her friend, pet and companion. Most of us rely on our dogs to
be friends, pets and companions, Cheryl relies on her dog for 'service.'
I'm really proud of you Cheryl, you have a Service Dog and still ride!
Once I find where the column on first aid kit items is stored and
read the comments, I'll post some of the 'add to your first aid kit'
items. Right now, I can't find it. It's the old story of me and the
internet. As I've said before, I'm 'road kill on the internet
highway.' Everyone else here can probably read the comments but NOT
me.
Be safe......

| Bonnie, I wanted to thank you here for your kind words and tell you I've thought a lot about the responses to your coyote blog.
Being older than both my horse and dog, no matter how you count the years; I've finally realized that once people make up their minds about something, they do NOT want to be confused with facts. You need younger bloggers, LOL.
Sincerely, Cheryl |

| Where I live I don't have to take my dog on a trail ride to have them exposed to coyotes. They come up in the hay field behind my house. We loose cats and kittens to them. We are very careful not to leave the dogs unsupervised outside. I have never taken my dog on a trail ride but have friends that take thiers all the time. |
