Things like this make it very hard to work on the housetraining. I also saw a large hawk in a yard across the street.
I don't know about the rest of you, but here in central Florida, there are lizards everywhere....seriously. Can they hurt him too?
Cooper is my first Yorkie, I want to keep him safe because I love him. 
I also want to him to be trained to potty outside! He's doing very well, but holy moly, what about the mushrooms and things that are just going on naturally? |
Are the mushrooms in your yard? if so, maybe you can get out there and pick them all out of your yard to make the ground a safer environment.
My dogs like to chase lizards. If they catch one they play with it with their paws. I've never seen them put one in their mouths. I would tell them to leave it at that point. blek!
I would be concerned about the hawk. Just stay with him when outside.
I lived in Florida 17 years and we had a small grassy area in our screened porch just for the dogs to go potty, as we didn't have to worry about gators or hawks that way. It was a little piece of mind..
Be careful of snakes, they are hard to see in the grass sometimes. we had water moccasins. yuk! and those are the things I DONT miss about Florida LOL.
Good luck!
