Winter is peak breeding season for coyotes, and their behavior shifts in ways that increase the risk of conflicts with pets.

What changes this time of year
• Coyotes travel more widely while searching for mates
• Pairs become more defensive of their territory
• Movement increases at dawn, dusk, and overnight
• Boldness around neighborhoods can temporarily rise

Why pets are at higher risk
• Small dogs may be viewed as prey
• Medium and large dogs can be seen as territorial rivals
• A loose dog can trigger a defensive response, even near home

How to reduce risk
• Keep dogs on a short leash during walks, especially near natural areas
• Avoid letting pets roam at dawn, dusk, or overnight
• Supervise backyard time instead of leaving pets outside alone
• Remove food attractants like pet food, fallen fruit, and open trash

These seasonal behavior changes are temporary. Awareness and simple precautions greatly reduce the chance of an incident while allowing wildlife and pets to safely share the landscape.

February is skunk mating season. That smell wafting through your neighborhood isn't a gas leak—it's romance.

- Male skunks spray each other in territorial fights over females
- Female skunks spray males they reject
- A skunk can spray up to 15 feet with pinpoint accuracy
- The musk contains thiols—the same compounds in onion and garlic
- The smell can travel half a mile downwind
- Great Horned Owls are the only predator immune to skunk spray

If your dog gets sprayed: Skip the tomato juice myth. Use 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda, 1 teaspoon dish soap. The chemistry neutralizes the thiols.

I've been dealing with ADHD all my life, not just myself, my kids too. What I've found is that the emotional toll it takes can make all of the tools and systems that are supposed to help you manage in a world not built for your brain useless. There needs to be healing of the emotional garbage that comes with this condition so the tools for managing it can work. So... I got certified and will combine all of the parts so I can help people live their best lives without all the guilt, shame, frustration and resentment. If you're ready to live your best life using ADHD to your advantage, get in touch. I'd love to help.

I was having a discussion with one of my clients about how she gets annoyed and can't understand how people can go out in public without being "presentable". A day or two later she sent me this image which prompted a question from me.....Was it really self respect or fear of judgement?

When I was in my teens and 20s, I was the queen of makeup and big hair. I wouldn't be caught dead out of the house without full hair and makeup which took an hour minimum. That even included riding in horse shows in 100 degree heat. Was it simply because I always wanted to "put my best foot forward" as was ingrained into me? Hell NO! It was FEAR plain and simple. Fear of judgement. Fear that if I wasn't wearing the mask, that nobody would like me, nobody would think I was good enough to be around. Fear of not living up to expectations.

I am able to see now that it wasn't just fear of judgement by others, it was also judgement of myself. When we look at other people with judgement, we are reflecting on things within ourselves. Like "how dare they be in public just as they are when it's not OK for me?" My biggest question is "Why do you even care?" What difference does it make how someone else shows up at the grocery store.

Now, I will allow that there are some instances that can be uncomfortable or offensive - I'm thinking questionable hygiene and extremely revealing clothing - but should our discomfort give us free reign to judge and criticize? It's not anyone else's job to live so we can be comfortable. Every thought that we have and emotion that we experience is a choice. Nobody can MAKE us feel anything. We choose to feel shocked or offended or accepting.

Maybe that person whom you are judging has a medical condition like chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia and they have to choose every day between showering or going to the store or doing a load of laundry because they can only make it through one activity before they crash. They look like any other healthy person so how could you know?

We, as humans, give away so much of our energy and personal power to judgement. Judgements that lead to resentment, anger, competition and a whole host of other lower vibrational emotions.

If you took the boulder that is judgement out of your backpack, how many other rocks would come with it? How much lighter could that load you are carrying be?

I'm putting this here to gauge interest in an ongoing EFT/Tapping group for parents/caregivers of those on the spectrum/neurodivergent individuals.

My vision is that this group will be a safe, judgement free space to release the emotional weight that parents/caregivers carry. It's much more than just talking about it, it's doing something about it. In my experience, ND individuals are extremely empathic and energy sensitive. They pick up the energy of those around them, so if those around them are stressed or emotionally overloaded, they will feel that too. The difference is they aren't wired to handle it in the same way. By helping yourself, you are helping them.

If this is something that you feel you would participate in please let me know. This will be held over zoom. If you have any suggestions, I am open to hearing them. If I see that there is interest in participating, I will continue getting this set up. Thanks!
