| OMG!!!! 3 Hawks at once!!!!! OMG! My heart is completely coming out of chest!!! I was right outside my back kitchen door with Buddy (10 pounds) and Lucy (3 pounds) sitting and playing in the grass. (NO leash on them) All the sudden I heard this horrible LOUD swalking/sceaming noise coming straight toward us!!!!! I immediately reached and grabbed little Lucy....I wasn't worried about Buddy because he is a little tub. Three hawks were fighting and racing to see who could get to Lucy first !!!!! When I realized what was happening I stuck Lucy under sweat shirt. Two of the hawks flew away (to a tree near by) but one was relentless....he was determined to get Lucy. The dang hawk was circling above my head swalking!!!!!!!! OMG....if I had not of grabbed her when I did they would of gotten her!!! I feel like I am having a heart attack....I have never been that scared!!!! I was just searching online this morning for a COVERED outdoor playpen for her. This is the one that I found (the bottom can be used as a cover) Does anyone have one of these? http://www.pets-warehouse.com/Vpasp/...62&zmap=260009

| That is very scary. I am glad you were all able to escape. I am very nervous letting ours out many times for this very reason. |

| OMG I got chills just by reading your post. Thank God that little Lucy is OK. You could never be too careful with your babies when it comes to hawks.They could have gotten to her in a blink of an eye. Good luck in finding a pen, I would be too after a scare like that. Try and relax I know your nerves must be a mess. Hugs...Pris

| What a terrifying thing to happen! SO glad Lucy is safe. You could try looking at what "Jeffers" pet supply has for playpens at www.jefferspet.com Or maybe even go to a "Home Depot" or "Lowes" and get a roll of wire fencing and some metal ground stakes and make a simple covered play area for Lucy.

| SCARY!!!! I'm so glad that you were right there and scooped Lucy up! Thank God she's okay. The covered pen is a good idea I should get one too. A while back, there was a hawk or some other huge bird circling our yard every time I took the girls out When I would go back inside, the bird would park itself on a tree in my back neighbors' yard, then it would start circling as soon as we went outside again.

| Wow, how scary!! I would get something more sturdy. I believe they make tops for the larger exercise pens for dogs (the ones with thicker bars).

| I have an exercise pen and I was thinking of ordering the wire cover, but the other covers would work too. Here is a link... http://search.stores.ebay.com/For-Ha...dNTQ29QQsofpZ0
