They have left at least 50 messages, and they all start out, "This is our second and final call..." <br /><br />We have had coyote in our yard many times. I guess I should have been more specific. The pile of poo, if stepped in, would swallow my foot. I know this, because I was playing football with the boys and came within one inch of stepping in it. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-12845421154165273272016-04-06T16:51:24.701-04:002016-04-06T16:51:24.701-04:00I forgot about that little trick Kristi used to id...I forgot about that little trick Kristi used to identify a bug or plant or something. I'll have to find it. To identify the plant. Not the poo. I'm not that dedicated to finding an answer to which animal. Mostly just want to know how it is roaming my yard. :)<br /><br />As for the dogs...Either we weren't home and the dogs went crazy, or the dogs were sleeping. In their old age, they are getting less and less likely to wake to such things. <br /><br />Well, at least I know I'm not alone.<br /><br />You did!

Well, after about 20+ calls, you'd think they'd get the idea that <i>mumbled name</i> doesn't live here!<br /><br />Perhaps the scat is from a coyote or a fox. We had a fox that would come thru the yard and do its "business" on the driveway.

(Many times it's parents of kids in my kids' classes.) I can't just let it go to voicemail, seeing as how I can't get voicemail on my mobile phone.<br /><br />I would guess it's an automated one, too, but why hang up when I answer? Why have automated calls for no reason? Usually automated calls have a telemarketer on the other end. (I'm on the no call list, too, but certain organizations are exempt.)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-80176706693842896632016-04-06T11:38:17.827-04:002016-04-06T11:38:17.827-04:00Hubby would catch the poo as Little Bit was lettin...Hubby would catch the poo as Little Bit was letting it go.

I know, it's a little creepy that I know that, but for hunters and trackers, they care about learning about types of poop. Depends on how committed you are to solving that particular mystery. I don't think I'd be up for it! I don't get hang ups, but I also don't answer phone numbers I don't recognize.
