Yes, we're VERY aware of the hawks & coyotes -- here in CT they're all over the place and very smart. The back of our house is all windows so the minute I would hear the swish of that doggie door I would watch over them. Too many sad stories. When we had two jack russells a hawk went after one of them -- one of the jacks saw this - tackled the hawk - ripped out the tail feathers (along with some skin) and sent the bird away stunned and very injured. My son still has the "trophy" feathers in his room!! That jack russell, Maddie, is still with us and would be "guarding" our little yorkie, Emme.
