The one thing I forgot to mention (for those who have tiny dogs and are using doggie doors) is that if an eagle, raven, crow, seagull swoops down to grab your baby you will not have time to run outside to save it. I live on Vancouver Island beside a harbor and I can't tell you how many times birds have attempted to take one of my little guys. I don't even allow them out on the enclosed patio deck alone for fear they'll become the raven's next meal. I came very close to losing my little maltese a few years back when an eagle swooped down for him, and I was in the yard with them. The seagulls will park themselves on the patio railing and wait in hopes they'll be out soon. |
