I can relate to the hawk story.... I attend all my yorkies on there adventures outside unless they are in their exercise pen my husband and I built that has a cover. This happened a year ago when I only had two yorkies I was outside with them and my small rooster "that thought he was a dog." The dogs were about 15 feet in front of me and the rooster was less than 7 feet when out of no where my rooster had a hawk attach. I WAS RIGHT THERE !!! At first I thought one of the yorkies was playing with him it happened so fast... I was approaching the two of them and almost touched the hawk before he released the rooster. Well, needless to say the hawk returned to visit my rooster weeks later, and it wasn't a good out come. But even when everyone is in the exercise pen it isn't without supervision.
