We have four cats but won’t allow them outdoors 2ndary to foxes, coyotes, etc. Three small dogs are missing from my three closest neighbors recently. Crowbar the dog comes when called, so we’re a little looser about letting him go into the forest. Did I mention that one of the dogs brought us a gift? (Four foot long snakeskin w/o the snake inside left outside the back gate.)
We have wildlife as well, yet around here the biggest danger for the smaller dogs are the bigger birds.
