graciegirl, Which door do you prop open when kitties are on the lanai? At first I thought you meant the door to the backyard, but now I'm thinking you mean the doorway into the house. So many things out there at night could grab a cat--including a car.

Now I'm worried about walking the dog after dark. A hungry coyote might become very aggressive, even to large dogs. I couldn't pick up my 85-lb dog to save his life.

We bought in Tamarind Grove, right where the builders are disturbing the habitat. I'm especially glad for this post since we're new and aren't aware of certain problems yet.

Thanks to the pet forum, I've already learned that to be considerate I will never, ever let my dog so much as sniff a blade of someone's grass (even though he's not a marker) or poop around the mailboxes, and now I will be more vigilant about predatory wild animals.
