[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a little dog (about 8lbs) and we'll sometimes let him out. He'll roam the neighborhood, sniff around have a little fun, then comes home, barks and we let him in. How is that so different than people having "outdoor" cats where they are outside all day unleashed or supervised?

If it's because dogs bite....well cats scratch. And ours is so little, he's smaller than a regular cat.

Wow, you're stupid.  First off, there are fox and coyote in this area.  We live inside the beltway and have seen both roaming around.  Your dog is prey for them.  Second, your dog (and I use the term loosely, at 8lbs--WTF is that even??) is going to last about a hot second in the face of a dog aggressive larger dog...like mine or my neighbor's dog, both of whom are over 90 lbs.

Not advocating for the dogs to roam, but do foxes really prey on dogs? The foxes I see in my area (which are very very few) are pretty small and run.
Now coyotes... that's another story.[/quote]
