Ezra patrolled around the perimeter of the fence that surrounded the alpacas' pen with a sigh. It was a warm, sunny day and protecting the stinky animals was probably the last thing he wanted to be doing, but he knew he had to. He had gotten good at spotting any little issues with the fence and mending them up without too much effort after a couple of seasons of being tasked with keeping the alpacas safe There had been some coyotes lurking around lately so he had to do more patrols than he usually would to look for them and hopefully discourage them from trying anything.
Apparently his plan either hadn't worked or they had gotten brave because as he rounded a corner of the fence he spotted a pack of coyotes emerging from a nearby tree line, the group of them making a beeline for the fence. He snarled and charged for them, growling and barking to hopefully just scare them off without a fight, but it seemed like they were just determined to fight today. He didn't know what made coyotes so interested in the alpacas when he knew Auster wasn't exactly desperate for prey animals, but they were just determined to get to them and cause him problems.
He clashed with the first coyote that he reached, knocking it to the ground and pinning it down with a paw to its neck. But before he could really get an attack in on the damn thing two more of them appeared and jumped on him, biting at his shoulders and scruff as he tried to knock them away, forcing him to let the first one go in the process. Gods, he hated these things!
