**BREAKING: COYOTE’S SKYLIGHT SHENANIGANS SHUT DOWN LA SALON**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of Los Angeles scratching their heads, a thirsty coyote was spotted drinking from a salon’s skylight, causing chaos and destruction in the normally tranquil neighborhood.
Eyewitnesses claim the coyote, estimated to be around 30 pounds of fur and attitude, somehow managed to scale the roof of “Tress for Less” salon in the San Fernando Valley and make its way to the skylight, where it proceeded to lap up water like it was at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
“I was getting a blowout when suddenly, I heard a loud thud and saw a coyote’s face staring back at me through the skylight,” said salon-goer, Jen Smith. “I mean, I’ve seen some wild things in LA, but this was on a whole other level. I was like, ‘Is this a prank or a wildlife documentary?'”
The coyote, who has been named “Coy” by salon staff, apparently got stuck in the skylight and had to be rescued by a team of brave (or foolhardy) firefighters.
“It was like something out of a cartoon,” said Firefighter, Mark Davis. “The coyote was flailing around, its paws were slipping, and I was like, ‘This is either going to be a really short or really long rescue mission.’ Luckily, we got it out safely, but not before it gave me a few good nips on the ankle.”
The salon has been shut down temporarily while repairs are made to the skylight and any potential damage caused by Coy’s antics.
When asked if they would be taking steps to coyote-proof their salon, owner, Karen Thompson, quipped, “We’re definitely considering it. I mean, who needs a coffee machine when you have a coyote drinking from your skylight, am I right?”
In related news, local animal control services are urging residents to keep a close eye on their pets and to not feed the wildlife, lest they end up with their own personal coyote café.
**UPDATE:** The coyote has been relocated to a nearby wildlife sanctuary and is reportedly doing well. When asked for a statement, the coyote simply shrugged and said, “Hey, a guy’s gotta drink, right?”
