I am with you! I always say I am the lion in this savannah...if you
come into my territory and threaten a remember of my pack then all bets are off. We live on the edge of a small Ohio city, have about an acre that back up to very large woods. The wildlife we see is stunning. Most of the time, we coexist peacefully because frankly..most of them can outrun my pup. Except for the ground hogs...fat and slow and vicious. If I see them now, they get a lion's justice. You are much more humane than I am!
