I was thinking a dog because the skull looks to have a larger orbit than a coon and the fur does not look right to me. I believe that her husband made it go away at her insistence.

They kick dirt leaves sticks etc over a carcass like bobcats do Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
