My Yorkie doesn't like any “animal” in the garden and a fat cardinal and some other kinds of birds, are flying in today and she has a fit at the door so I let her out but she isn't staying out any longer than she has to in order to get the birds to fly off. Now, she is curled up on my recliner with me. She gets close to my legs so she is touching my leg or legs, and then goes to sleep. She is not anxious to go out today except to quickly run off creatures.

Johnny, You talked about catz on another thread and one year we had feral cats on our back fences and they were coming into our gardens. I don't want fleas from cats getting in my garden to get on my Yorkie and don't want their droppings, either. We got a notice on our doors to keep our cats in (I don't have one), because animal control was coming the next day to round up the feral cats. Any cat without a collar was going to be gone. After collection day, the cats were gone.

There is one black cat now that gets on my back wall but Prissy sees that cat and I let her out so the cat won't jump in the garden. I don't think that cat has a collar and yes, I would shoot it with the pellet gun if it got in my garden. I will not have a freaking cat bringing in whatever it has on it. I keep my Yorkie clean, she goes to groomer once a month, and she has never had fleas once I got her cleaned of them one day after I bought her. She had what is called “microscopic” fleas when I bought her. I took her to the vet the day after I bought her to determine what shots she needed and they found that type flea.

I would imagine our gardeners here have personal rules about domestic type animals getting in their garden areas. I'm protective of my area and it's a death sentence if people don't keep their animals out of my garden. A dog can't get in due to the high brick side walls and the back wooden wall. That leaves cats, birds, squirrels. Prissy is big enough now to let her in the garden and the squirrels get out. I'm still not happy with squirrels as they do get in the garden before she gets them out. I don't know what squirrels might have on their bodies and whatever it is, I don't want it.
