Hi Kat, was away all morning, hairdresser, grocery shopping and so on. When I got home (second home on Florida's west coast) the cats wanted to go out immediately to the screened patio, they got their wish and I put everything away. I also bought a few T-shirts for me and I sat down on the coach to remove all the sticker and other stuff, all of a sudden Pauline comes running into the room jumpes on the coach and hides behind me, I thought at first it is the neighbor with the crazy beagle but no neighbor nor beagle in sight. Then I see a movement to my right: an 5-6 foot alligator walking on the right side of my house toward our lake. He had scared Pauline to death but Nicky, the shy one who is often scared by himself, was sitting right at the screen and "defending" his home. I don't know if the gator stopped when he saw Pauline, but when I went to the patio he was walking and jumped with a big splash into the lake. And Nicky was holding his ground until the gator was in the middle of the lake, which is pretty big for a man made lake. I just took this picture, the fence to the right belongs to our neighbor you can imagine how close the gator came to my house. When I told hubby this on the phone, he is on a business trip, he was speechless🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
