Several years ago there were quite a few downspouts torn off of houses north of 466. Seems that the feral dogs are chasing bunnies, feral cats, and field rats that try to take refuge in the downspout.

I tend to agree with you...feral dogs, though I didn't really think there were many around. A neighbor saw a large copper colored dog running down the golf course, her house looks on to a fairway, around 5:30 a couple of days ago. Said the color was striking, but the ears on the dog she saw, weren't erect.
If the aluminum eating creature keeps this up, we'll have to see if a gutter company will offer neighborhood discounts for repairs...
