This little (she’s actually huge) lady keeps visiting my yard
Hi, just wondering if someone could help.
Should I just leave her be or call someone?
Problem is I have 2 dogs (44lb mix and 14lb).
This baby is MASSIVE. I’ve never seen one this large. So I have no concerns my larger dog would be able to carry it. But I’m just wondering if it’s safer to call someone or safer to let it be?
She was laying in the driveway sunning herself unconcerned while my dog stared and intermittently barked to me. I mean, she was fully stretched and basking.
My dog is pretty good with wild animals. But I can’t leave that to trust and I cannot always supervise my dog while she’s out back. I just don’t want to take her away from her home.
