Lake Las Vegas is right on the border of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. As such, we have a lot of critters around here. The south shore of the lake has a herd of big horn sheep (although I have yet to see one) and there are quail and rabbits and coyotes everywhere.
Sunday while my friend and I were taking our early morning walk with Brindy in tow, I turned to find a large coyote about 15 feet in back of us. We have talked to someone who was stalked by several coyotes and ended up having to call security after she took refuge on the porch of an empty building.
We crossed the street, but he crossed with us. I turned around and yelled out him and he walked off a ways, but as soon as we turned to walk on, he was back. Brindy didn’t seem to notice, thankfully, and we continued down the street alternating sides and yelling.
Finally, one of the security patrols came by and we flagged them down. Nothing they can do, but I figured, correctly, that the coyote would not want to come closer with the car there. Security stayed while we walked on and got back to the more populated part of the area.
Would love to have taken a picture, but thought keeping the dog in hand was just a bit more important.
After we got home, Brindy decided to try out a new position on the chair.
