The way to keep a dog safe here is to not leave it out unattended, and have it live indoors-considering the coyotes, occasional cougar and wild hogs in the woods, anything else would be temporary and bound to cost your pet’s life eventually-there have actually been dogs dragged out of electrified fences and killed at night. The wildlife is treated with respect and caution by me-I’m just glad we don’t have bears here...
well xshub has forbidden me to put the dogs outside in the AM before 7, and after dark, and insists that they be allowed to go in the garage. he will be the one mucking out that stall, so i will try to abide by that.
