Hello again San Pedro,
Thank you all so much for your well-wishes. It was amazing to find her alive and well because of your help and quick thinking!
Sri Lanka visited SAGA today and was found to be in good health after her croc encounter. The cut on her leg didn't even need stitches, and she's not even limping anymore! Hooray for resilient potlickers!!!
On another subject, when we were driving home from SAGA, along the "croc road" south of San Pedrito and west of the airstrip, Sri came face to face with her attacker, or at least a member of its family. There was a croc right in the middle of the road! Sri (who was leashed in the golf cart) began barking and snarling and the croc finally went back into the canal, but I'm left to wonder why they're out in full swing this week, at all hours of the day.
It used to be a novelty to see a croc once a month, even less. This week we've seen them every morning and evening, no exaggeration. Is it mating season? Are they getting used to humans? I've also heard the theory that dogs, dead from poisoning, are being dumped in the lagoon... more croc fodder.
Any opinions or theories from you, the message board community? I'm fascinated by this, yet scared because it's 500 yards from my front door, and there are 900 lb predators crawling around.
Let me know what you think.
