Jeannie T., Sounds as though Buzz is 'busy' again. How in the world did he hurt his head? He ran into to a wall?? Hope he's okay..although he sounded like he was when you talked to him on the phone. It sounded as though his Daddy might have been a tad disgusted with him though. Yes, animals do mark their spot like papa told him. Sounds as though he remembers things pretty well. They have been having a number of coyotes in IL & rather than call correct authorities about them...the kids talk about them & are very afraid of them. We have them out here in AZ. However, they seldom will attack unless they are rabid. As long as you respect them, they will respect you. If we see one out here, we make sure that we keep our distance from them. We had a lynx come down our road when we lived in the Valley. At first I thought it was a coyote..but the closer it got, I realized it wasn't. My husband & a friend were painting our house & they couldn't believe what they were seeing. I guess it's very unusual to have a lynx in that area. ~Jen in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: <askgranny@juno.com> To: <SOUTHERN-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2010 11:41 AM Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Buzz is so wise... > > When Buzz was just a youngen he was afraid of the coyotes lurking in the > woods that kept him from going down there alone...{ Granny's rule .} One > day he and Papa were walking down there and he had to go potty...No way ! > Finally he was forced to and Papa cheered him up by telling him he had > marked his territory now, and no coyotes would come in our woods...Today > I talked to him on the phone and he told me he had peed in the edge of > the woods and now no coyotes would come in the yard...Oddly enough, on a > recent nature show a man peed on the legs of their raised platform hoping > to keep tigers or some other big critters from bothering them while they > slept...Go figure. > > I asked Buzz if his head wound was doing ok and he said he ran into the > wall and a real BIG drop of blood came out.
