It's true that alligators can run very fast, but only for a short spurt. If you keep away from the water's edge, you have no worries. There are no gators at the dog parks.
K-9...I was happy to read your comment. Romeo is 30 lbs...so glad to here the villa is safe. One of the reasons for the purchase of the Bonita villa was because of him...otherwise, he's on a leash.

ps...hope you were kidding about the predatory birds...
