I've also heard about this and I never let Maddie outside alone because of that. The other day when I was at the vet, I saw a guy who lives about a block away and he told me a hawk tried to get his cat one day. I remember seeing hawks...they had a nest nearby and would glide around the neighborhood. I hope they don't come back this summer! The breeder I got Maddie from showed me a mark on her border collie where a hawk or eagle had tried to get him...he was too heavy for the bird and dropped after take off. It IS scary! And turkeys...do they fly? They run wild around our city, but I never thought of them hurting little animals. My mom saw something on a show not too long ago about Yorkies being prey for these large birds and on this show they said an eagle can spot his prey from 2 miles away! Sounds unreal to me, but could be true. Anyway, guess we better all be on our guard. I keep Maddie tied up with a long rope so she can still run, mainly because I figure if some animal should try to get her, I'd be able to grab her faster. Am I paranoid or what? LOL |
