all those animals are living here, too. Well, I've heard we have foxes and bears, but I haven't seen them. Coyotes, too. Sometimes we hear them howling or barking at night. And tons of deer. I like having them around. They are interesting.

These animals don't get on my roof, though.

My intention is to make sure my dog doesn't have an opportunity to get into a fight with an animal, or to be sprayed by a skunk.
