WILD CRITTERS ARE EVERYWHERE
Since most of us moved here from the city we forget that wild creatures are everywhere. Spending time at the Lincoln County Animal Shelter brings that point into focus daily. We have reports of a Bubba size Raccoon here in the park. Some of us probably think: okay so what? Well though Raccoons are cute to look at they can be deadly to our pets. A small dog or cat is no match for two Raccoons. Usually the only think left will be a small tuff of fur from your pet.
We are surrounded by forest and though it is lovely to look at it contains wild animals. This past Saturday the animal shelter had a report of a Panther citing on the Bay Road about ½ mile from Newport. We enjoy our view of the forest but remember we are the visitors not the animals. Let us be aware of our surroundings and protect the pets we care for and love.
