Scary! Also a reminder to always report animal bites.

I live in Texas also and there have been two cases that I know of in Copperas Cove and I live in Lampasas which is not far away from there..We have more critters roaming around here too such as raccoon,possums, and other little furry things...I am very careful when I take my babies out to potty, especially at night. They are always on their leashes and I watch where they go. They are all up to date on their shots, including rabies. Please be careful with your babies...If you see a critter that is a nocturnal animal such as raccoons,possums, out during daytime stay away from it and take your babies inside and then call animal control right away. They will come and get it..
