Speaker 1: It's Mojo in the Morning.
Speaker 2: As I was getting ready to go to bed last night,
Speaker 2: I got a ring alert. I get these things all
Speaker 2: the time. I got a ring alert the other day
Speaker 2: that was so interesting. The ring alert the other day
Speaker 2: kind of cracked me up. I actually screenshot at it
Speaker 2: because I never answered ring alerts. I only answer ring
Speaker 2: alert in my head. This one I actually answered, here
Speaker 2: was the ring alert that happened Saturday. Someone's home car
Speaker 2: alarm alarm is ringing constantly. Anyone know anything? And I
Speaker 2: answered back with instead of jumping on here, why don't
Speaker 2: you go for a walk and find out.
Speaker 1: I swear to you I'll show it to you.
Speaker 3: This is my neighborhood Facebook page I don't have, but.
Speaker 1: They know it's Mojo from Mojo in the Morning.
Speaker 2: I honestly don't even know how it shows up, but
Speaker 2: that's my there. It is right there for I think
Speaker 2: it shows up. Honestly, I think because THEIRS showed up
Speaker 2: as just neighbor. It doesn't really say I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've never clicked on it. But here is my ring
Speaker 2: alert last night. And this is the one that I
Speaker 2: ask you, as you're listening to this radio show, have
Speaker 2: you ever had this happen to you.
Speaker 1: My ring alert last night was.
Speaker 2: Zero point four miles away from my house, which is
Speaker 2: actually about as close as these ring alerts sometimes get.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I mean, Like, that's pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's next door, that's next door. And it was coyote
Speaker 2: spotted in our backyard. Keep your pets safe.
Speaker 3: Oh no, that scares me when you have little teeny
Speaker 3: tiny dogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I had that at eight thirty eight twenty six,
Speaker 2: to be exact, at night, which that is about the
Speaker 2: time actually nine is ish is when I take the
Speaker 2: dogs out the last time to go do their thing,
Speaker 2: and then I end up going you know and laying
Speaker 2: down and going to bed or whatever the deal is.
Speaker 1: So I was.
Speaker 2: Thinking to myself, like, do I just say no and
Speaker 2: you know, let them hold it for a little bit
Speaker 2: and bring them out when it's you know, light out
Speaker 2: in the morning. I'm like, oh, I can't do that
Speaker 2: because I would just screw them up. Who wants to
Speaker 2: sit there and have to wait to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, all right, I got to get out
Speaker 2: there with them, which typically what I do is I
Speaker 2: will go out with them, but I go out from Afar.
Speaker 3: I try to are the at least you just let
Speaker 3: them out and they come back in.
Speaker 2: I let them out because they're pretty good about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they we don't have one of those electric fences.
Speaker 2: The guy that did my landscaping screwed that thing up,
Speaker 2: that mother effort. So I have, you know, pretty much
Speaker 2: know how that the dogs are smart enough. Actually, my
Speaker 2: dogs are as lazy as I am. They ain't going
Speaker 2: very far. Know they coyote or coyote coyote, but has
Speaker 2: anybody ever had a coyote like you know issue where
Speaker 2: coyote eighth. I'm worried about the coyote eating me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I forget the dogs. My cousin they live near North
Speaker 2: Farmington High School, Okay, and they have coyotes in their area.
Speaker 2: And I thought coyotes were more of like a wyoming thing,
Speaker 2: Like I didn't think that they were like Metro Detroit.
Speaker 2: I didn't know they were that closed. But they run
Speaker 2: into the same issue where the backyard. There's coyotes in
Speaker 2: the actual Detroit area, Like there's people that spot them
Speaker 2: on Finkle.
Speaker 1: Where are they coming from?
Speaker 3: I don't know West and I saw a pack of them.
Speaker 3: I've only ever seen like one random one. We saw
Speaker 3: a pack of them across the street maybe like a
Speaker 3: week or Two's crazy, like four just boom boom boom,
Speaker 3: one right after the other.
Speaker 4: Was that?
Speaker 1: Was that a coyote gang? I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's scary, but I mean, this is a very random fact.
Speaker 3: But I guess this is my job reporting the dirty.
Speaker 3: Jessica Simpson's little dog was eaten by a coach. Oh really,
Speaker 3: I remember that story because whenever we get the alert
Speaker 3: on our neighborhood facebook page, I get so nervous because
Speaker 3: I have a little teeny tiny dog like you do too,
Speaker 3: and I normally just let my dogs out in the
Speaker 3: backyard because we have a fenced in backyard.
Speaker 5: But it doesn't matter. They'll get yeah, they find a
Speaker 5: way in always here. Why are they migrating? I think
Speaker 5: because everybody were building on their homes. It's like the
Speaker 5: deer we take, We took away all their homes. I
Speaker 5: worry about coyotes. I also will tell you this, I
Speaker 5: I worry about the deer. At some point, the deer
Speaker 5: aren't going to find animals or things to eat. They're
Speaker 5: gonna eat eat us. You don't like the deer, I
Speaker 5: don't like the deer. You don't like I think we
Speaker 5: need to un I listen.
Speaker 1: I like you, and you're an animal human guaranteed if
Speaker 1: you are. Yeah, okay, guys, you're right.
Speaker 2: Eight four four Mojo Live eight four four six six
Speaker 2: five sixty five four eight is our telephone number? Texts
Speaker 2: ninety five five zero zero. What are you more afraid of?
Speaker 2: If you're taking your dogs out channing? Are you more
Speaker 2: afraid of coyotes? Or are you more afraid of skunks
Speaker 2: and raccoons and all?
Speaker 1: Like? Raccoons have beady eyes?
Speaker 3: Honestly?
Speaker 1: Coyotes really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they say that I just googled this thank
Speaker 2: you to Actually it was uh Google chat or whatever.
Speaker 1: Their chatchypt is.
Speaker 2: Gemini, and it says coyotes are fearful of humans and
Speaker 2: will not bother you. Yeah, so says the fake AHI
Speaker 2: and and says that they normally won't bother you, which
Speaker 2: you should watch out for. Interestingly, enough, are skunks and raccoons.
Speaker 2: So I just mentioned that and it pops up on them.
Speaker 3: Did you imagine my little Charlie gets to sixteen years old,
Speaker 3: which he is, and that's the way he goes.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, spray out.
Speaker 3: You know what the coyote eats?
Speaker 2: Can. I be honest with you, Charlie's life is kind
Speaker 2: of like my dog's life. It really wasn't that much
Speaker 2: of an unbelievable life, like it was just kind of chiny,
Speaker 2: Be honest. Charlie's like, you know, Okay, we're great. He's
Speaker 2: probably like thinking I could have had a greater life,
Speaker 2: but I now have to be with her. But no, no,
Speaker 2: but think about this. That would go out in a
Speaker 2: great way. It'd be like a military pilot going down
Speaker 2: with his plane. You know, we would have we would
Speaker 2: have a five star situation right there.
Speaker 3: Do you have big birds in your area too, because
Speaker 3: whenever West, whenever West's like a I don't know what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: A hawk?
Speaker 6: Hawks like you get the dog in that's really I
Speaker 6: lived by a bunch of lakes and the hawks are
Speaker 6: always on the lakes, and I've seen it before where
Speaker 6: the hawks dive into the water and go after fish
Speaker 6: and stuff.
Speaker 3: Sweet seven pound dog, they.
Speaker 2: Strong claws hold on. Taylor's on with us right now? Taylor, Hi, Hi, Mojo?
Speaker 4: So I live at eleven mile around Okay, Yes, Stan
Speaker 4: and hawks are a real thing. They put hawks the
Speaker 4: warnings for the hawks on the scanner to make sure
Speaker 4: you get your small dogs in because we have a
Speaker 4: small dog. We have a Yorkie. But another big thing
Speaker 4: we have to worry about is foxes. There's so many foxes.
Speaker 7: In the area.
Speaker 4: What I've seen, I've seen them, yes, yes, all right.
Speaker 1: So the that there's I didn't realize that there's that.
Speaker 4: I was totally like driving down the road. You'll like,
Speaker 4: I was driving and at first I thought it was
Speaker 4: like a small dog, and then I'm like, wait, it's
Speaker 4: kind of fluffy. Isn't a cat?
Speaker 7: Oh no, it's kind of pointy.
Speaker 4: In twenty years, that's a fox.
Speaker 1: Wow, that would that would scare the crap out of me.
Speaker 4: Usually not a fox is traveling packs.
Speaker 1: So yeah, ever alone. Yeah, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know about you, but I got to be quite honest
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 2: I just think it's a big ass dog from one
Speaker 2: of my neighbor's houses, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I would be worried about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, small animals, they will on'll.
Speaker 8: Eat them cow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this song at all? Because I should.
Speaker 1: This would be a great throwback, throw it down song. No,
Speaker 1: I know, thinks that the artist.
Speaker 7: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: You would know, would you guys get it? Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: throw it in this Friday.
Speaker 8: Here we go.
Speaker 2: Ready, here's tailor the f I know you'll have it
Speaker 2: in your head all day. I love you, Taylor, take
Speaker 2: care of yourself. What's up, Haley? What's going on?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Okay?
Speaker 2: I was a little scared taking those little dogs out,
Speaker 2: But what's happening.
Speaker 1: You live in a you live in a rural area.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have about eight acres split between us and
Speaker 7: our neighbors. And when you guys brought out this topic,
Speaker 7: it was something that obviously touched us. So we had
Speaker 7: a little eight pound Yorky and my mom was actually
Speaker 7: outside when it happened. It was about five am and
Speaker 7: all she heard was the screeching. So we took him
Speaker 7: into the emergency that and unfortunately the coyote was big
Speaker 7: enough to wear his mouth had punctured the lung of
Speaker 7: our little puppy and we had to end up putting
Speaker 7: him down due to infection. So you coyote in your area,
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: That is, by the way, that is sad. That's that's
Speaker 1: a horrible way to go, you know.
Speaker 7: But they're all over, so just be careful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you for the call, Thank you for the warning.
Speaker 1: Uh, Nathaniel, what's going on? Nathaniel?
Speaker 8: Hey Mojo, first time, long time? Hey.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So I used to live in Indiana while my wife
Speaker 8: was going to school down at Ayuka, Hoosiers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 8: So my next door neighbor they had a little like
Speaker 8: a Chihuaha type dog and one morning I went missing
Speaker 8: and it was gone for a couple of days, and
Speaker 8: when I came back, was wearing like, you know, those
Speaker 8: like little psyche things that they put on signs keep
Speaker 8: birds off of. Yeah, I was wearing a little vest
Speaker 8: like that. I asked them, what's up. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 8: it got picked up by a hawk. Their school bus
Speaker 8: driver that dropped their kid off ended up finding it
Speaker 8: at the school, which is like a mile away from
Speaker 8: our house, and had like four legs broken, three ribs revived.
Speaker 2: You were when you were asking it, you were talking
Speaker 2: to the dog, and the dog was answering back, or
Speaker 2: who are you talking to?
Speaker 1: It sounded like, oh, your next door neighbor, Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm like I thought he was like yeah, And then
Speaker 2: it came back wearing a vest and I'm like doctor.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they ended up putting a wow, them end up living.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I need one of those.
Speaker 2: Maybe I need one of those vest with spikes on
Speaker 2: it for the coyotes and stuff.
Speaker 1: It will, you know, walk up to it and can.
Speaker 2: Get poked like porcupon the Only problem is I'd have
Speaker 2: to put that thing on and off.
Speaker 1: I mean I already I'm I'm not as bad as Shannon.
Speaker 2: But Shannon, you have I see sometimes that you got
Speaker 2: pictures of Charlie with diapers on and stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, he has to have diaper on or else there'd
Speaker 3: be p all over my house.
Speaker 1: That doesn't That doesn't bode well that though, does it? Though?
Speaker 1: You have to kind of take it on and off
Speaker 1: when you take Charlie outside.
Speaker 3: Oh, I changed his diaper like you change as many
Speaker 3: times the day as you change a baby diaper.
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 3: I'm right by the door to go, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: as soon as he comes in diaper on.
Speaker 2: See I told you Charlie wants to go out in
Speaker 2: a good way. Poor bastard's wearing a diaper ball.
Speaker 3: It's not because of incontinence. It's because he's super type A.
Speaker 3: So anywhere he smells the other dogs.
Speaker 2: He'll look just like, yeah, what's what's up Cleveland, c Hey,
Speaker 2: good morning, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Hey? I live at twelve Van van Dyke.
Speaker 9: So one day I come home, I pull up in
Speaker 9: front of my house.

Speaker 9: the squirrel like poking his head out looking. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 9: is the squirrel doing this?
Speaker 1: I look up.
Speaker 9: It's a hawk circling the area. The squirrel actually kid
Speaker 9: under my car in my tire whale because he knew
Speaker 9: that the squirrel was talking. Oh my god, was trying

Speaker 2: special thing right now? What's going on?

Speaker 2: fearful of you, like they would hear a noise and
Speaker 2: they would run. Now they actually are like I'll take you.
Speaker 2: They're looking at property lines. They're like, this was my
Speaker 2: property at one point before you thank you, Diana appreciate it,
Speaker 2: no problem, Texter says, you guys got to watch out
Speaker 2: in Eastern Market. You guys have animals just roaming the streets.

Speaker 2: All of a sudden, we look outside the window and
Speaker 2: what was it. Yeah, it's just like running down the street.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, that thing is gonna get seventy five.
Speaker 1: Right, Butcher's chasing it. That that thing's actually either got
Speaker 1: one of two things.
Speaker 2: It's going to die in one of those butcher shops
Speaker 2: or it's going to hit a semi and right there.

Speaker 10: a manufacturing.
Speaker 7: Center there, and in the mornings.
