I also heard they can take them with the leash....When it's starting to get dark, they (we have 3 5 pounders) they are only allowed out the back door into the xpen that I have extended to 12 pieces ...It's under the roof that hangs over about 10 feet and 2 walls , so I feel ok when it's dark and the door is kept open..Of, course we only go out if necessary and immediately go back in....The whole yard is lit and we have 6 foot walls around too. (but coyotes can climb them too) They aren't even allowed outside in the daytime alone...I also have a shaker filled with coins that I hold because I think wild animals are afraid of noise (?) I am always looking up and around in this state... I did see 2 owls (whatever kind?) on the house behind us at 7 am about 2 yrs ago, after that, no more freedom...My luck all 3 would run in different directions and I would go crazy !!! This is somewhat of a contolled enviroment !?
PS someone told me to soak rags in amonia (spelling?) and put them around the yard to cover their scent ?! or moth balls too...??????
