A dead guy out there, in my back yard.  | | I live in a pretty small town, around 14,000 people. We have had two murders in town in the 30 years I have lived here, and very little violent crime at all. A few years back, my husband worked out of town on a late shift. He would get home and upstairs to bed around eleven-thirty in the evening. I worked days, and went to bed early, I had to get up and get my great niece off to school as she was living with me at that time. One night he came to bed and said "Don't let Katy go out the back way to school, there is a dead coyote (Ky ote) out back in the yard." I told him to dial the administrative number at the police, to contact animal control to pick up the dead animal. He got up, and did as I asked, then came up and said, "When they get here, they want to talk to me" I figured there was some fish and game laws or something we had to deal with. He said they asked how he knew he was dead and he told them "I nudged him with my foot" I was laying in bed, and I heard the sirens, one . . two . . . three emergency vehicles going down the road, but listen, they stopped, I could see the lights through the bedroom window, I could hear shouting in the back yard!! After a very long time, my husband came up to bed. I do not think he has an accent, but the dispatcher had heard him, very clearly say, "There is a dead guy out there in my backyard. The police, and the paramedics and the fire department all came to render aid. They wanted to question my husband regarding the circumstances of this guy's death. Several emergency personel were embarrassed, including one dispatcher, when they learned that they had come prepared to try to revive a coyote. The only thing we can figure out is that our yard is always heavily planted in wild life attracting habitat, and the coyote was injured, possibly by the nearby train, and crawled into our yard to die. I am sad for that, but it has given us a fun family story. Feel free to share family stories, or animal stories with us. They both seem to always have appeal.

| | | | | | 1. AmbiePam (10210) | 1 year ago | Oh no! I bet everyone around was wondering what was going on. That is just too funny. I don't have any stories in my back yard, but I do have one about the yard behind the school I went to when I was a kid. All the kids were outside playing, and we noticed that a man was walking behind the playground. We thought he looked odd, but it wasn't until someone (not me) turned around and got a view from the front, that anyone realized he was naked. So they called the cops and we watched two cops run through the field behind the playground, trying to catch the naked guy. He ended up going all the way out of the field, into a housing develpment before the police caught him. He was a patient at the alcohol/drug rehab facility down the street next door to our school. I would have MUCH preferred a dead coyote. LOL

AmbiePam (10210) | 1 year ago | I didn't say it was funny then. Although, most of us didn't see any 'racy' parts of the man. I said it is funny now. And since I'm the one who experienced it, I can say it IS funny.

| | 2. lilaclady (15014) | 1 year ago | OMG that would be terrifying, to think he was just lying there and how he died would give me nightmares, life can be very sad sometimes, I think we tend to take life and the taking of it for granted these days, I think that wa terrifying for you but sad for that poor person laying there...

GardenGerty (13063) | 1 year ago | Friend, it was a wild animal that crawled into my yard after being hit by the train, and it died. The dispatcher did not listen well, my husband said "Dead coyote" and the way he said it sounded like dead guy out there.

| | 4. oneandonemakesix (24192) | 1 year ago | LOL that is too funny. I can imagine the police being embarrassed by that and I'm sure they will forever remember the time they were called to revive a dead guy that turned out to be a coyote. No I don't have any wonderful stories like that, but I truly hope some day if I ever have my own land htat I do. Mooch

| | | | 5. jennybianca (5864)  | 1 year ago | I laughed so much at this. How embarassing. Surely their accent is similar to your hubbys? My hubby did something that was quite funny very recently. As you know, he is a Police Officer with Missing Persons. Before that, he worked for Crime Stoppers. This is where people ring (usually anonomously) to report a crime. Of course, the majority of reports are silly, fake, or just drunk people ringing. Last weeek we had a full eclipse of the moon. Secretly hubby went to the phone & rang Crime Stoppers. In a very serious voice, he reported a crime against the moon. He said.... " I know who stole the moon" (in a deep, serious voice) Crime Stoppers.... " Er, er... what?" Hubby ... " I know who stole the Moon". Crime Stoppers..... silence* Being inside, they had completely forgotton about the eclipse of the moon. Hubby... "It was the Man in the Moon".. (said in a serious voice). The above scenerio went on for a few minutes, whilst crime stoppers tried to work out what sort of idiot was ringing. Eventually they remembered the eclipse, & finally recognised Dave's voice.

GardenGerty (13063) | 1 year ago | Oh, your husband is an ornery one alright. That had to be funny. I think I had forgotten that he was involved in law enforcement. I will be sure to share this thought with my husband. You could post a discussion about it, too, it is funny.

| | | | 7. wachit14 (3229) | 1 year ago | When I was a kid, one summer we had a spider monkey living in our backyard. It must have been a pet that either got loose or that someone just dumped because they no longer wanted it. It would travel all along the power lines and go from yard to yard looking for food. It was very friendly and pretty much everyone would give it treats. We tried to get it into the house one day, but looking back I can't imagine why. We had no cage for it, but I guess we thought it might be fun to own the monkey. My mom was the one who would give him treats. His favorite was cut up watermelon and other fruit. As the weather turned colder, we wondered what would happen to the monkey who would sit in the tree and shiver. Eventually, our mailman at the time, grew to know the monkey too and he devised a way, with the help of a neighbor, to get the monkey into a box. He took it home with him and gave the little guy a nice warm place to live.

GardenGerty (13063) | 1 year ago | This story has a really nice ending. Thanks for sharing. I do think it is a shame when people get pets, then cannot deal with them and end up dumping them.

| | | | 8. babystar1 (2662) | 1 year ago | That was so funny,I bet they were all embarrassed. The only think that I could thnk of that happend to us was, when my son was still living at home he was out in the back yard BQ buggers,and there was a lot of smoke. Before we knew it the fire department came. Someone had called the fire department to report that they seen smoke. And all it was was the BQ grill. One of the men said that this happends a lot during the summer time when people are using there BQ grills.

GardenGerty (13063) | 1 year ago | I can imagine that happening. At least it would be fragrant smoke. And at least they do check on things to make sure they are not really fires.
