Keep your animals and your self safe

In this weeks note, I am writing to raise awareness. We have all moved from areas of urban safety to an area of natural beauty. Along with natural beauty come natural insecurities.

Mountain Lion

In the last week, I have seen paw track of a Mountain Lion in Cabernet Highlands.

On the Neighborhood app, I saw a report of a large dog taken down by a large predator. Likely the same Mountain Lion.

Bob Cat

In my back yard, I am seeing scat evidence of an animal about the size of a Bob Cat. I haven't had a dog in my yard for over 2 years. This is new scat.

Daisy

The visitor in my yard had to scale a 6 foot fence both entering and departing my yard. My old Dachshund (Daisy) was fearless, but wouldn't have stood up well against a Bob Cat.

The take away from this note is to be vigilant. Keep an eye on your pets, even in your back yard.
