I returned to the farm at 6:15, bringing my dog in from the car on a leash to prevent her from running off into the dangerous darkness. She and I had only been in the house for about fifteen minutes before the very nearby sound of a pack of wild coyotes chasing some poor hapless critter filled the air.
My reaction as my dog barked? I got up and locked the slider. Because while coyotes may be able to open a slider, they can't do so if it's locked...
At least I had the decency to laugh at my silly self.
