We purchased a wire mesh covered exercise kennel for Tippy. It should come in handy when the weather is warmer and we want to spend more time outside I can put her in it and do my gardening and not worry about the hawk that we see quite often in our area. But when she is on the leash there is still a chance it could try to carry her off . I try not to let her run very far from me as the hawk came quite close to us one day so close that Tippy stopped and watched it fly above our heads.
