Pet Safety
My girlfriend is from California and lives in a 55+ community. She visits TV and is concerned about the lack of fences in our neighborhood and the potential danger to her dog when outside and exposed to alligators, coyotes, etc. Any experience from you Villagers? I see hundreds of dogs in TV and haven’t heard of any hazards like this.

Alligators could be in every pond. One was on a porch at 2am believed to be chased by a coyote just a few days ago. Small unleashed dogs have been taken By coyotes. Don’t walk them unleashed or near ponds. Be diligent.

There have been stories of very small dogs being attacked by coyotes, and a story of a cat being taken while in a screened birdcage (with a hole in the screening). One of the verified instances was a man who had his dog off leash in his yard that was on a pond, and the dog wondered down to the pond and was taken by an alligator. The man went into the pond and punched the alligator until it let go of the dog. I think there are other substantiated instances. So yes, your friend should be concerned and take the proper measures to secure her pet's safety.

She's been here and she still think that we live in an unsafe area infested with wild animals that are constantly roaming the neighborhoods feeding on pet dogs and cats?
all she has to do is walk the dog on a leash and stay on the roads in the neighborhood |

Maybe your friend watched too many Stephen King movies.
