This is the first photo I took of the cats after returning to Florida.
I think they are happy to be back. At least they don’t have to worry about big dogs who want to kill them.
I didn’t tell the story of another dog attack Frankie and I encountered while in West Virginia. It was several days after the pit bull attacked us. We had just walked almost around the block when we passed a vehicle parked on the street two or three houses from our house. The engine was running and there were a couple of people in it along with a big, black dog, similar to the dog next door that wanted to tear down the fence to get at our cats.
After we walked past the vehicle and approached our house, I heard a woman’s voice from behind yelling. I turned and saw the big dog running toward us. I quickly picked up Frankie just before the dog jumped on me, barking and growling. Fortunately, the woman quickly collected the dog before he could do any real harm.
I can only say it is nice to have a little peace again, although I did get stung by something on our walk yesterday.
Bad Cat Chris 
I remember visiting my brother in Florida. He was working on his car in the driveway. There were several scorpions out there too. He said it was just part of living in Florida. But I would rather deal with that than worrying about the cats being eaten.
I agree and scorpions are rare. I haven’t seen one in Florida since I moved into an old cracker house when I first met my wife in 1999. The house was on over a hundred acres of land. We even had nineteen cows we had to feed.
Cows would be cool, but probably expensive
The landlord had them because he had so many acres of land that bordered the Gulf in the most densely populated county in Florida. The real estate taxes would have been enormous without the cows, which let him claim his land as agricultural land, or something like that.
Why did those people let the dog get out of the car? That wasn’t very smart. Glad nothing serious happened.
I don’t know. I think they were waiting for someone in the house. Perhaps when that person got in the dog ran out.
Well I must say those two look RELAXED now……Home Sweet Home!
Hugs, Pam
Cats know how to take it easy.
There is no place like home.
You are so right.
Ugh, why was such a horrible dog not on his lead?
For some reason, big dogs off their leash was common there.
Ah, Florida, so many stinging bugs, just like here in the south Louisiana swamps. There’s no place like home, right?
Right. At least I didn’t get bit by a brown recluse spider like Rose did in WV.
