I live south of 466 and have seen dead rats on several occasions while driving my cart. At one time I lived in south Fla and witnessed rats as well as bob cats, snakes, alligators and frogs that were deadly to dogs. When I lived up north we had a serious problem with racoons and coyotes. As a matter of fact my dog was stalked by a coyote as we walked on our lawn. Personally I'm more concerned with red ants and wasps both of which have attacked me in my yard here in TV. When I moved to Miami I was attacked by a purse snatcher while at a Mercerdes dealership. He jumped out of a tree on top of me and ran off with my purse. boom: Such is life. I do what I can to take precautions and since living in TV, my quality of life has never been better. The closest I've come to danger in TV is when small children driving golf carts swerved into my lane. I love being close to nature and feel blessed. I do admire the Morse family but we're also active members of the POA. My motto is better safe than sorry.
