| Terrible, Horrible Hawk! Yesterday was such a pretty day. We were in the yard with "the girls". I heard a hawk call out, very close by, and in a panic, my mom, hubby and I began running around the yard grabbing up dogs. I'm hollering "get em, quick, get em", as I scan the trees and sky overhead. He was so close, and coming in fast. We are headed up the steps, out of breath, with our hearts pounding and our arms full of Yorkies when a big old BLUEJAY flies past, doing the best imitation of a hawk I've ever heard. That dirty bird was just laughing at us! They are master imitators. Mom, George and I just stood there on the steps and burst out laughing. The dogs are looking at us like "what the heck's going on? It's such a pretty day, and we were having fun playing in the yard, now you've snatched us up and are running wildly with us like we are footballs, trying to save us from the awful, scary, horrible, dangerous BLUEJAY??? Really, do we need this momma drama?" Ah yes, life with little, tiny dogs! Danger lurks around every turn. Now we can add the terrifying Bluejay to our list. Ohhh dear!

| I am so glad that it wasn't a Hawk. BUT Bluejay's are mean birds and they can certainly dive bomb at the dog's. I had one here once that tried to do that. I used an air horn to scare it away.

| On that show American stuffers a griefing owner brought in her yorkie to be stuffed who was killed by a hawk. I couldn't even fathom something like that happening to my benny so if I lived anywhere in the midwest or east coast where there are hawks I guarantee you I'll have a shot gun loaded and ready to go so that I wouldn't have to run but blast those things out of the sky if they even attempt it. Same thing with coyotes, last week on the news a coyote was brazen enough to attack an owner and ran off with her yorkie. There's no way in the world that I would let that happen. I would carry a 9mm and fire a warning shot and if that doesn't work then there will be one dead coyote. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | There is a show called American Stuffers!? . . . . .omg now what has this world is coming to. Well I am glad that it was a silly blue jay wanting to see the humans scatter. The story did make a giggle. |

| How funny. Gotta run from those Blue Jays!!! We actually do have one or two Blue Jays a year down here that will buzz you chattering angrily. One even did it twice to Tibbe! Scared me silly. But they are grouchy little things though I don't know anyone that's been hit by one but they can scare you.

| Actually, you all are right. Bluejays can be mean and dive-bomb dogs and people. What happened was he saw the (empty) bird feeder at the edge of the woods. Jays will make hawk calls to scare off the other birds, or whoever happens to be around, and then just mosey in and have the feeder to themselves. It's a pretty handy adaptation if you're a Jay, but not so nice if your a paranoid Yorkie mama. So glad I made a few people smile on a Monday morning. Have a great day everybody.

| Oh, I saw part of that "Stuffers" show and was so creeped out I turned off, after sitting there horrified to take in what I was seeing. He had this poor dead chihuahua that he had at home in his wife's kitchen sink and I remember when he slid the poor things from the box or sack or something, he held it like a piece of meat or something and it was awful. Then, I changed the channel away & had to turn back like a fool! Sorry I did. By then, something gross had happened to part of the chihuahua's head or eye or something - can't recall what but it was gross and he said it was ruined, that the "owner" would be heartbroken or something like that and by that time I was reaching again for the remote, never to turn back. It was a bit too much for my squeamish stomach. It seems like so many of the animal and so-called nature, history, learning channels have gone to gross & shocking & kind of trashy or gross type people for "entertainment" recently.
