 We had a medium sized dog on our trip last year, no issues. She slept in a tent and hardly made a peep. Coyotes still came into camp though.
 
 In 2007, a large white dog on walk-about adopted us for a few days and would bark whenever the pack would show up at night.   Don't know where he came
from; closest fish camp at the time was miles and miles away.  I think he eventually left because we named him "Paloma".

 in Scammons Lagoon a coyote grabbed Sirena's little mutt and took off with him....they chased the coyote and managed to get him to drop Pepper! but he
had some nasty bites!

 sometimes they will send in a female to play with your dog and coax him farther and farther down the beach to where the pack awaits their dinner.

 Isn't Scammon's Lagoon an anachronistic name?

 Because Mexico has called it Laguna Ojo de Liebre for many years.

 Most may not know what Ojo de Liebre is or was... The only spring of drinking water in the entire region, located just east of the lagoon discovered
by Charles M. Scammon.

  I am familiar with both location names....and it also seems to
depend on the maps used.

 the reason I called it Scammon's Lagoon is that most gringos dont know the real name Ojo de Liebre.....now about cats and coyotes....they WILL take a
roaming cat at night....we had 2 cats taken by coyotes in one night...rare yes...but definitely possible.

 no doubt shari. that's why i think it's rather unusual to be camped out like that with a cat....

 That would be Rainbow the cat---we were there on the point with them last summer and Rainbow was with them....but the cat stays in the camper most the
time.

 I suppose it's not unlike the Sea of Cortez v. Gulf of California thing. But I do think foreigners should honor the name places given by the host
nation.

 Somehow "Eye of the Jackrabbit Lagoon" doesn't sound as nautical or 'whale-able' as 'Scammon's Lagoon"???
  
 edit: Jackrabbit Spring is a closer translation, as springs are known as 'ojos de agua', in Mexico.
