Jiff, she is my protection from the wolves and coyotes. I was installing my new mailbox on the road tonight in the dark (snow plow-1, mailbox-0) when the coyotes crossed the road into my bush. They are about 50 meters from me and howling like banshys. As much as I am not afraid of them, when they howl like that it scares the crap out of me. When I shine the flashlight on them they stop, look, and howl more.
