[QUOTE="DDD, post: 332649, member: 35"] It has been [B][I]cold[/I][/B] for over a week and the description of Floridians having a hard time coping is valid. The effect on the wildlife has already been severe with fish, turtles, gators etc. having major problems. Our boxer Ace doesn't stay outside for more than five or ten minutes and then is at the door. We usually have alot of birds and at least five or six squirrels to watch from the porch. (Yes, there is a point to this, lol.) Ace chases the squirrels religiously and those nimble things jump from the fence to trees and escape. This morning he found a vulnerable squirrel. We are assuming that it was near death due to the cold. Ace got him. :sick: Then it was H to pay trying to get him to "drop it". easy child/difficult child got out of bed and we brought the cookie jar to entice him. Thank heavens for cookies. The poor squirrel family must be hiding somewhere hoping to keep warm. What a bummer! husband keeps a bag of shelled nuts for them but we don't know where they are hiding. :frowny: by the way, bears are not uncommon in our County. There has been so much development in the past ten years that their natural habitat is altered. I wouldn't discount that your husband may have a valid point. DDD [/QUOTE]
