So Spanky generally goes potty on his pad. but sometime he wants to go mark the ivy on the front porch, ( he is fixed) we were out there it is enclosed for him specially so he wont run out but no roof, I always go with him and today i herd a swoosh and felt a breeze on the top of my head I look up and there it was a huge Hawk swooping down after Spanky I was sooo scared I screamed and lounged for him he was 2 maybe 3 feet in front of me and the hawk took off. after it was over i figured the hawak must have been on my roof the whole time. Spanky is only 3 1/2 lbs and as big as that hawk was i bet he could have picked up my baby I am so freaked out over this. anyway just wanted to share I think i will have hubby build me a roof for the front patio.
