We have a fenced in yard and I have just let Tasha play in the yard with another dog that we have. After hearing this I started to get concerned as to whether a hawk could carry away Tasha who weighs 5 lbs. I mentioned this to our pet sitter and she said that is correct that about hawks. She told of a friend who lost a Papillon to a hawk who was out in her front yard with her two dogs early in the am. Before she could blink her eye the hawk had the smaller of the two dogs, about 5lbs. and she never saw it again! This was 2 years ago and she still hasn't gotten over the loss.
I just can not imagine how horrible this would be happen to my precious Tasha!! I now go out with her and watch her every second.

You are so right!!! Last October, my precious little boy Yorkie, Tigger, was taken by a hawk from his VERY secluded dog run. I cried for weeks imagining those last horrific moments. I cannot stress this strongly enough!!! A hawk WILL take your Yorkie. Don't ever put yourself or your baby through the same heartbreak we went through.......
My dog run now has a permanent cover constructed over its entire length. My furbabies now only go into my garden under my very watchful eye, otherwise they are inside ALL the time, just using their dog run to potty.
