survivalist ! I've always taken the "natural" approach to raising mine. Let/encourage them to chase Squirrels, play in the mud, get dirty, rough and tumble and just be dogs. That by the way, cost me about $300 a year at the groomer's. :rolleyes: PS: nice to see you back ! ;) |

I would be worried as I think animals can bring diseases to our babies. You just have to watch them whenever they are outside. I always worry about some disease-crazed animal attacking so I always watch any dog of mine when outside just in case. |
I'd treat the yard for fleas if I were you. Right before we started having our flea problem here, we saw a huge possum in our yard with 4 babies on her back, she was burrowing under our deck. The exterminator told me that it's very likely that this is where the fleas came from. The only other place my babies go is to the groomer every two weeks, and they are meticulous there. They check every animal that comes in for fleas and whatnot, and segregate and treat any that are infested. They are not allowed anywhere near any others on that visit. I know how careful they are, because I work there in exchange for my babies' grooming. If you want to read what we've been dealing with here, you can see it here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ah-flease.html Them opossums are ugly-cute:laugh: |
Possums freak me out! We had one that showed up in our yard last summer in broad daylight. I think he was coming to eat left over cat food that we had fed a stray. |
I know this seems pretty obvious, but, Possum's and other wilds usually don't just come into a yard (where the scent of human is) unless there's a pretty good reason for it. You'd be surprised just how little it takes though. You gotta check your yard and area thoroughly, and remove anything that they will want to eat or drink. Such as... Water for your animals/birds/a dish outside, sometimes standing water. Scraps, in a bowl, or something you just pitched out the door. Something your Dog may have taken outside and buried, treat/bone. Searching for a Den/Nest, openings to under your house (Pier/Beam). Things that are very subtle, can you think of anything else ? |
Possums are ugly but they are for the most part harmless. They will only attack if cornered. I have them and raccoons periodically in my yard and I prefer possums over raccoons. Raccoons can be mean and they are diseased |
