There was a thread about coyotes killing our pets from about two years ago that included information with a picture of a torn up lanai screen that wasn't taken here. There was other overstatements then as well and incorrect information that frightened all who love their pets and pets in general, which is good as far as being very protective goes. But it skittered around the real facts.

Helene is very careful that our kitties are in, off of the lanai before the sun goes down.
No big deal, graciegirl. I have been skeptical too about reports of bobcats taking cats off of lanais here in Lynnhaven. These were a few years ago now.

I am a lot more scared of Beau getting hit by a golf cart or car as those are the injuries I hear most about from people going to the dog park. Especially if these dogs are on long leashes. Beau is on a short leash but often wants to cross the road because of smells on the other side.

Coyote attacks are quite rare. But the golf cart accidents involving dogs much less so.
