Since moving to a wilderness area, owls, hawks, wolves and coyotes are my greatest fear for my little ones. Apparently there are bears in the area but as it is winter, I don't have to worry about them for a while, thank goodness. I have built them a little potty pen that is right off the deck, but I still worry, the woods is only 6 feet further out. You can never predict the actions of a wild animal, so even if you don't see them in the immediate area, they could be there. I always go out with the fur kids, and I don't let them out of sight even on the deck.
My heart goes out to these two ladies for their loss. You are so right we need to hold our babies close, disaster can strike from any direction.
