We do too. If it is not bad enough how 'active' the coyotes are here (woke us up several times the last two nights in a row), I now, for the last 3 days, have seen 2
very large birds flying over this and the farm across the road. I really think they are Eagles; looking to nest.....oh goody! <sighs>
Today we worked out back, reclaiming some of the back yard. We bought 10 acres that the previous owners did not..... Our place sits inside of Farmed Fields all around. I LOVE IT! But. Yes. Like you. Too many other animals to let Katy run off leash. I will let her off after a bike ride. After we unhook our GSD from the Springer, Katy gets out of her Basket (It has a lid that zips so that takes a bit longer) and let the two run around while (we are both right there) put the bikes in the Sun Room. But that is the extent of Katy off leash. She has never been and probably won't, in the back pasture/yard. She was crated today while we mowed and chain sawed and such around the outskirts reclaiming more for yard. We have a pond. Our GSDs LOVE IT! But Katy? I would be scared that something big (snapper turtle) might pull her under! One day, who knows... I MIGHT let her ride in my Kayak with me....but like I said...probably not. Also, that is where the horses are.
