Just a few days ago I let Reesie out to play and I put him on a tie out. I stood at the door to watch him until my son got out there with him. They were both out there playing and I came back to the door to say something 2 seconds after my son got out there. I looked up and this hawk was circling above their heads. I mean, I could have thrown a rock at it, it was that close. I started yelling for my son to get Reesie in the house, and I think that is what scared the hawk away. I think the fact that they were under some trees also helped, but I was super scared, I will tell you that!!!
