Oh, I don't know. I turned the air conditioning off the other night and the odor was very strong. Almost like a skunk, but not quite as permeating. You just sort of notice a stinky smell and then you remember what it is. Skunks kinda stink up the whole world when they are doing their "stinky" thing that they do.I haven't seen any intruders in the yard--but then again, I didn't see them the other times either. Grace isn't affected by it, Hobbes doesn't like it, Sammy the Wiener Dog sniffed it and walked away--so I'm guessing it probably doesn't really work all that great. There aren't any big fish left, so maybe the lunch crowd is gone because the buffet has been shut down.
So, while I am sad for the loss of my fish, I guess I am grateful I don't have this problem:
'Cuz what the heck do you get to get rid of lions and tigers that hang out on your patio?? Get one of those circus ladies with a whip?Uncle Jerry and Aunt Mary Pat are a little freaked out by their bobcat visitors. I highly doubt a little coyote pee is gonna work on those bad boys.
I think I have the perfect solution:
That ought to scare anything. Including bobcats.

Hmmm.... yup.... I'm thinking Miss Goosey in her 'vintage' pink prairie dress would scare away even the worst of the intruders! :) LOL!!!!
xo Catherine
I think you might be on to something. Goosey Lucy would frighten off most anyone!
Is that Joe holding the product? Because he has the Price-Is-Right hand wave down.
I can imagine him doing the half circle and ending with the palm exposed in an effort to enhance the coyote pee.
I want to know when Ma Kettle is going to get a new dress? It is a well known fact the goose dressers changed outfits on a regular basis.
Good to know you weren't picked up in the recent lawn ornament crime sting.
LOL!!! I laughed when i saw the cayote pee.. but i sit out my coffee when i saw the duck..lol...hugs
Too right. Leave her there; it's probably why you have no bobcats in Weirdville!
Yikes! It scared me! LOL! Maybe you can get your Aunt and Uncle to collect some of that bobcat pee and give it a try?
I'm not convinced. I think they'll see Mother Lucy Goosey and decide to hang out hoping to score some fresh baked cookies and iced tea. But I could be wrong [again].
I forget that most people don't live in Deliverance country like I do. PA is an 'Open Season no Limit' state when it comes to coyotes. Most folks I know shoot them, take a picture, and hang it on the bulletin board in the firehouse.
Catherine--I finally moved her to the backyard, hoping she doesn't scare away my visitors. It's funny how many neighbors have asked what I had on my porch.
Violet--My aunt gave me the idea to set her next to the pond, which I think is kind of a good idea. If it is a heron that took my fish, it might just scare it off. Hey, it's worth a try.
CG--Please do not encourage him, CG. Yes, he did do the whole PIR model bit and he thought he was hilarious doing it. Me--I wasn't as entertained as he was.
Highway--That goose is gonna be naked before I buy a dress for that thing! I am many things, but I am NOT a goose dresser!
Natalee--I think it may be a deadly combo--goofy goose and coyote pee! The intruders won't know what to think of our pond now. :)
Vanilla--We don't have rampaging elephants either, so I think she is successful on many levels. Everyone is gonna want one of these things now!
Melodie--Somehow I don't think Uncle Jerry is up for the challenge of collecting their pee. They are really scary from what they said. Can you imagine that they had a whole family of bobcats in their yard???! I'd be freaking!
Chuck--Maybe we could bait a trap with her! That is a brilliant idea, Chuck! Oh, nobody could resist such a harmless looking goose.
Shieldmaiden--Oh, we don't want to encourage the residents of Weirdville to start shooting wildlife. They are scary enough with their fireworks, I'd hate to think what would happen if we even suggested that scenario. It would be like living in the Wild West dodging bullets!
CG - GMTA. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the photo! Perhaps Joe could be a hand model?
A shot gun...that's what Uncle Jerry and Aunt Mary Pat need. hehehe
As for the goose...wasn't that thing picked up by the cops? Or is your goose the wrong goose?

Hitch her skirt up a little and THAT will really scare the cat away...
The goose will definitely scare anything. Maybe that is what is working rather than the coyote pee. I know they say that it works with deer, but my dog is pretty close to a coyote and the deer ignore his pee completely.
Is that goose still hanging out at your place?...lol I suppose it would be better than a bobcat though.
Ok, I think the goose might work if you wire her for sound, give her a great honk and hide a motion detector under her skirt. Of course you might wake the dead, but everything else would probably run! lol
Yeah, I'm with you. Coyote pee would NOT deter lions or tigers. So, be thankful you don't have that problem.
I'm glad to hear that "Miss Goosey" has found a new home. She's so...er...cute :)
I hope that your duo works to keep the pond safe!!
Well, if you could throw the goose with enough accuracy to fall on the intruder, problem solved!
That goose is pretty scary, but I'm still coming back tomorrow.
Takes more than a goose to run Cute off. ;)
I always wondered too if Coyote pee did work. I had no idea we were in the same area. I am in the Western Suburbs. Where are you at?
Lydia
LOL!
Every time I see the Goose in that pink attire, I get tickled pink! ^-^
I think she just looks adorable :)
That goose would certainly keep ME away! But then, I'm not a predator. I just live with three of them.
I like the lady with the whip idea.. :)
I have no idea if it works or not - all I know is if it was my job to collect and bottle the stuff, I'd damn well want it to be worth the effort.
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH!!! WAYYYY better than coyote pee! am still laughing....this pic made my day.
Lola--Oh, don't encourage Joe. He thinks he's sooooo funny. Or at the very least....a model. He is neither, believe me.
Jodi--I know Uncle Jerry has shot a few armadillos, but I think this is a whole different venue. AND he had a whole family of bobcats! I wonder if shooting them is illegal too? I'll bet. And besides, they are beautiful--I'd have major guilt shooting one. I never heard back from the police, so I'm guessing it isn't there goose. I think goose stealing is a popular sport.
Pricilla--Hahaha! Nothing like granny panties to scare folks off!
Anne--That coyote pee is much stronger in scent than dog pee. It's almost like a skunk odor. I think it will take a combination of odor/statue/sounds that solve the problem. But we don't know if it is raccoon or heron yet. Now that the big fish are gone, we may never know.
Ann--Sigh. Yes, it is still here. I did move her to the backyard as the neighbors were all asking about her. It was embarrassing.
DJ--I LOVE that idea! I may just do that!! That would surprise any being out there!! I'll let you know if it works.
Roschelle--That darn goose has been moved to the backyard so we aren't embarrassed anymore. I'm still wondering what the heck to do with her! I may just make her a blog give-away but the winner would have to pay for shipping!!
Stephanie--Me too! I don't like thinking all my fish and frog friends are at risk. I feel awful about that.
Sharky---Gees, even if she just fell on the intruder we would all be saved! That goose weighs a TON!
Cute--Whew! I was hoping the pallies didn't get scared off thinking I'm a goose dresser!
Lydia--I've heard mixed results with the pee. I'm not sure it works because my big fish are gone now. :( That pee sure is stinky though! We are in the South Suburbs--I didn't realize you were that close! We are sooooo gonna meet up for coffee--okay?? Maybe after the kids go back to school??
Nessa--Yikes. That goose is downright scary-looking, Nessa! I'd be happy to send her to you if she didn't weigh so much! I'm thinking whoever pranked us has a very sore back.
Janiss--Did you see DJ suggested rigging up a motion activated sound with that goose--I think that is brilliant! Next to that horrendous dress--I think a wacky voice to go along with it would scare any beast!
Vanilla7--Hahahaha! You were the only one to comment on that! ;)
Bumbles--No kidding! Can you imagine THAT job??? That stuff is S T I N K Y !!!!
peewee--That stupid goose is driving me crazy! Since her mysterious arrival, I have been driven crazy on where she came from and what to do with her. Ugh. You want her???
I laughed out loud when I scrolled down to see the goose. Is that goose still there???
ps: why the heck would Uncle Jerry shoot an armadillo??? Have you ever seen baby armadillos? They are ADORABLE
