I am not an expert, but I feel certain it was a dog.

I want your dog! We do have 2 dogs and they barked and I went outside and saw nothing. I yelled at the dogs to lay down and be quiet. I went in the house and turned the AC on in our bedroom and didnt hear much more. The dogs will bark at anything but not attack.

Assuming your fence is privacy fence How about taking a cheaper method and building a second fence made of chicken wire or hardware cloth on the top of the fence build it using your posts as support and building a protruding frame heading out. think of a chain link fence with barbwire you know how the barbwire supprt beams angle out. well this creates a block so that even if a predetor could reach the top of the wood there face would smack into it and unless it can manage to turn itself like spiderman and crawl upside down. (chicken wire wouldnt support its weight) it wouldnt be able to get in. since i seem to have confused myself I can send you pictures of what I mean if need be.

Well our fence is now 8 foot tall. We still need sharp wire on the top but I hope we are safe now.

I checked in just hoping to see you'd caught the culprit. I'll keep my fingers crossed, and go check out that trap link now...

Wow... what a thread. Sorry about your loss.

I look forward to reading about the apprehension and or destruction of the responsible suspect(s).
