Any responsible pet parent does whatever is necessary to care for and protect our babies. Whether we need an enclosure or fence or short leash is not truly the issue...responsibility and caring for them is. Even with the best protection we can provide it often goes awry unpredictably with tragic and unforeseeable consequences. Regardless of where we live, each location is fraught with its particular perils...some more common and/or universal than others...and I find the information how others protect their little ones quite reassuring and uplifting. I am intensely saddened to learn of failures that take our little ones away. Bless you all for the effort you make, and the information you share that someone else may be able to use but without which may have resulted in a sad event. Take care, all! {{{Hugs}}} |
