EEEEK ! -- Don't know what to say other than we are lucky.... we live on a pretty large lake and the only summer critters we have to contend with are a flock of Canada Geese --who poop on our lawn and my husband shoots at with a sling-shot (better than the neighbour who shoots at them with frozen paint-balls), a bunch of ducks with their babies (who we love and feed and swim with) and a mink that we are not too impressed with but tolerate (he ate a baby duck) and a couple of beavers across the lake that are just amazing to watch. We get the odd raccoon snooping around. Now in the winter we get a red fox who looks in our patio doors licking his chomps since he thinks cat and dog are gourmet dinners but if he sees us he goes on his way.
I would be very nervous at your place with gators lurking about -- boy I wouldn't let those pups out of my sight. Do these things come out of the water day and night??? Next question -- do they stay in the back yard or will they make their way to the front which would be some distance from the water. The only time I have seen one was while golfing in Florida and the course marshal warned us not to get close. I guess I'll just keep my Canadian Critters and not complain.
