I totally agree TDL, either Finnish it or level it ! I think pitapan might be on to something about service animals and wild animals mixing in the same environment

I was told this by a CM who wouldn't even let my father drive onto the property with his cat. He had to go to the boarding facility first or sit with the cat in the guardhouse while we checked in and returned to get him and take him to the boarding facility.
