Last night and one night last week I heard a dog crying in the night. It sounded for all the world like my own dog (an aged Jack Russell). Last week when I heard it she was sitting on my lap, so I knew it wasn't her. It was in the wee hours, when I'm inclined to be awake (insomniac tendencies). Last night I went upstairs and found her soundly asleep next to my husband, who I woke for long enough to ask him if she had been crying. No. I know it wasn't one of the feral cats, it did not sound like a cat. Do either foxes or racoons make a similar noise? I know we have both in the neighborhood. I've heard tell that there are coyotes around, but haven't seen one.
