Some howling last night and then I saw two coyotes padding past my house, which as the owner of an outdoor cat I don’t love, but then I guess the stories of eating pets I remember from LA were “they climbed the fence to the backyard where my lap dog spends all day with no escape”; aside from the option to just jump in the window when I see him out at night he likes to show off by running two stories straight up a tree trunk

Was a coyote howling outside within three blocks two weeks ago, which having an outdoor pet I wasn’t thrilled about, but Badger seemed suitably wigged and then he moved on

Gets me thinking about Dog as an totem in the Seattle-based Shadowrun

Now thinking about now-awkward race-themed specialties in 90s TTRPGs

(Both Vampire and Werewolf were clearly originally riffs on 90s PNW subcultures)

Remember the Tzimicse, the boneshaper vampires, so it was like “ooh, we’re not the gypsy ones, we represent orthodontists”

And really, most of the bad stories I hear about are small dogs penned in backyards by fences, whereas when he encounters me at night Badger likes to show off how he can climb to the second story of an 70 degree-sloped tree trunk on a moment’s notice
