Was gonna make an exception for a dog once. Saw him on the way to work and thought if he was there when I came home, I would pick him up. He was gone. He was a “good” dog and someone beat me to him. I see cats out here and then I see none. I assume the worst. Of course I could be wrong. Had one of my Dachshunds eaten by a hog. Found him out in the field that afternoon. Buzzards tipped me of as to his whereabouts. Seen plenty of coyotes, even one on my “Ring” @ 7:00 p.m. while it was still daylight. 3:00 p.m. in my backyard laying in the shade of a tree like a day at the beach.
Glad to hear there is a chance for survival.
