When Is It Too Cold to Walk the Dog? Use This Handy Guide for Reference

I agree. It's usually when people get stupid that we have problems.

My daughter told me that an acquaintance of hers was working in their back yard and turned around just in time to see his little dog being taken over the top of his privacy fence by a coyote. That was in Pueblo West, where the lots are big and some of the houses have a lot of open space around them.

When we were house shopping a long time ago, my then-husband very much wanted a house out there. It was a beautiful house, but I'm not much of a fan of rattle snakes and other dangerous creatures. Ultimately I was able to convince him that the price was just too high for our comfort.

I grew up on a farm, but I'm way too much of a "city girl" at this point to want to live in that kind of environment.
