Bad to the Bone

I always knew our girls were badasses, but I never realized how much till the other night.

I was sitting at home one evening, working away diligently on the computer.  It was a nice evening and the windows were open.  Suddenly, I heard the girls barking up a storm.  They never bark unless there is a coyote around.

I dutifully grabbed a handfull of bullets out of the box sitting on my desk (doesn't everyone keep them there handy), grabbed the gun sitting next to the desk and ran outside.

On the north side of our house, just 10 yards in to the pasture were two coyotes bunched up together.  They looked like they were trying to crawl on top of one another to keep away from the two blue heelers that were circling them.

What?!

That's right, Loopie and Laurie were patiently circling the two coyotes from about 10 feet away.  Their teeth were bared, neck hair standing straight up into mowhawks.  Yup, badasses.

I finally got them called off the coyotes and took a couple of pot shots at the coyotes as they ran for their lives back to their dens by the water shed.  Needless to say, the girls got extra dog biscuits that night and we haven't heard the coyotes get very close to the house these past few nights.

Laurie asked if she could start putting a 'victory tally' on the side of her doghouse like Snoopy when he was the Flying Ace.  It's under consideration.
