It sounds to me like you are getting plenty done. You just aren't used to the relaxation parts. Enjoy them!

Liz, beware the coyotes. The coyotes here have developed a ploy to lure neighborhood dogs into an ambush to become Coyote Cuisine. The pack will send a youngster, not a pup, but adolescent to play with domestic dogs and get them to follow them into the open space where the rest of the pack is waiting to dispatch the the dog.

Years ago my Cairn pursued a coyote. I swear if I had not been following her and screaming like a mad man that coyote would have turned around and gobbled her up. She was only about 7 months old and that coyote kept turning around looking at her, as if he was contemplating the risk. My Airedale at the time was amused by the whole thing, but did not offer to assist me in discouraging the coyote.

That does sound scary! We are looking forward to having the yard fenced in and in the meantime put Justice back on a long lead in the backyard while we were out there last night.
