Reasons to Worry

I think of scary things, it seems, As dogs that jump like cats, in dreams. They say I spend too much time caring With no reasons for such scaring; That, I should learn to relax at night; But coyotes in trees give me a fright.

The same coyotes that scare you, scare my hubby. He worries, a lot! Never used to do so, at least not so visibly. Now he's a bit of a worry wart with restless nights. I chalk it up to age. He says that I'll get there some day...just wait and see. :-) have a splendid evening. Sara

I've been in the retirement community for about 2 1/2 years, and I've seen coyotes about 3 times, but they're around. I don't think there's anything for me to worry about, but if you are one of the small dogs who live here, or one of the cottontail rabbits, then you have reason for concern! :-)
