jowjo, Wow! were you ever lucky they did not wander farther away from home. Usually when they take strolls out the door the big wide world gets their attention and they follow one thing after another until they get lost or found by someone else, or hit by a car.
Since I lived on an island along a river in Florida, I was always concerned about an alligator getting Goodboy, as he loved chasing the waves as they hit the shoreline. A neighbor told me they had lost a little dog to a gator that way. Also, even though we lived about a half-a-mile from the main road, there was always the danger of him getting hit by a car. Many times I found him over on the other side of the oxbow (old river) not far from the road, thankful he never got hit.
