Thread: the killing fields

Our breeder had no declawing and indoor or leashed only in her contract. This was OK with me. Fifteen years ago I thought our DSH, Hank, was inside for the night. Sadly a fox got him right under our bedroom window. I still hear his cries. Really couldn't take the guilt and pain of loosing another outdoors. So, I am for sure in the over-protective category. We live on a golf course with plenty of wild life - coyotes, bobcats, large owls etc. I would not let them out even if I knew they wouldn't leave the yard. Had a friend who was in the hot tub with her husband and watched as a coyote came into the yard. In broad day light, it snatched her cat and ran off with it. Buzz and Baxter have a huge tree in the house, halters and leashes and this spring some sort of enclosed catio. Everyone has to make their own choices.
