I appreciate Mr. Duckhurst's recognition that chihuahuas are an acquired taste. However, I find myself wondering if they have checked these coyotes for their lineage -- DNA, or whatever they use these days. They could have been trucked in from who-knows-where. Without that authentication as truly local, having them in Belvedere makes me fear for the bloodline of the carefully curated coyote pack on my estate which is only eleven miles away. That is a mere spin on my 1980 Fairfax garage-built Gary Fisher; imagine how quickly a motivated coyote could cover that distance, and in the dark of night!
Idk but that may explain why chihuahuas in Marin seem to a bit more anxious than say Chihuahuas in other areas like Santa Cruz or Monterey. Just my observation.
Do you think the coyote program in Tiburon is related to the squirrels in San Rafael? I think that the squirrels deserve to have their voices heard. Do you have a beat reporter in SR who can interview them?
I don't know why Mr. Duckhurst doesn't write about something really important, like why Trader Joe's keeps running out of frozen kimbap and tortilla Española. And why some people are allowed to fill up their carts with said items.

I can't help but feel the very average, ubiquitous and hysterical Chihuahua would easily beat the noble, majestic coyote...

I would like to hear more about this outrageous behaviour. Can people be barred from supermarkets for such inappropriate hogging of basic necessities?
