I finally bought a house in Carmel Valley; prices there will now tank.

Do NOT get an outdoor cat that close to a canyon. Coyotes will take care of both the cat and the rabbit.

Kid will be far more traumatized at having a pet eaten than a wild rabbit.

[quote=flu]Coyotes and even skunks are not an issue in Carmel Valley bordering canyons in C.C. Highland areas.

You do get some wabbits, squirrels, and geckos though (my last gecko encounter resulted in an fatality when it decided to sleep under my car’s left rear tire. The rest is just, oh, flattened history…)

The wabbit furballs just love to feast on some nice flowers. So I gave up planting stuff that isn’t desert.
Yes, I tried garlic power/pepper powder. But they usually wash off with watering.

I need that bird that is swooping around Oxford’s home…[/quote]I’ll tell you what is an issue in the canyons over there that I _never_ would have guessed. Ticks, man. They’ve got ticks. I’ve hiked all over the county and never picked up a tick. Been in those canyons twice and got ticks both times. Brought back at least three the first time and even though I was careful the second time, still got one.

Seriously though, congratulations on the house, I just mentioned the tick thing because I was so danged surprised. You’ll probably never even see one.

[quote=sdrealtor]sorry for the mix up. in retrospect I think it was stckstrader I was thinking about.[/quote]

You might have been thinking of when I mentioned this lot earlier, and you said that frequently there’s a builder “VIP” or employee or something who will take a premium lot. I was worried about that (I’d seen it happen before, too) right up until they called our name. Fortunately, it didn’t happen in this case.

Actually, I got a tick once, too. I’ve been more careful since then and haven’t gotten another one. Although I’m always open to ideas for avoiding them. I read that they hang in the tall grass and then hitchhike on your foot/leg when you walk through the grass. So, among other precautions, I avoid the tall grass when possible.

Flu, I’ve heard coyotes in the canyons lots of times. It seems like less often recently, though. I’ve also seen deer, rabbits, mice, birds, gophers and a whole food chain worth of wildlife out there. I even heard what I’m pretty sure was a bobcat once.
