Yesterday I was sitting on the patio with my little Zoey,who at 6 mos weighs 6 lbs.... and I saw this HUGE turkey vulture swoop down and circle directly overhead, low. Thank goodness Zoey was sitting next to me under the table, but just seeing that gigantic vulture was frightening, much less the thought of it scarfing up my baby. I always thought vultures only ate carrion, but this one was apparantly very interested in my doggie.And believe me, the size of that bird could have easily carried all 6 lbs of Zoey away. That was a real wake up call for me to be ever so vigilant when I have Zoey outside.
