[HarleyHOO]

Well I fit right in with you ladies I'm very protective of Harley and I guess its just that motherly instinct.

I live in a neighborhood on the water with HUGE oak trees. We have eveything around here ~ owls, hawks and racoons. I'm always close by when she's out doing her business because of this. Just this morning, I took her out to go potty one more time before leaving for work and I heard this loud WOOSH sound. I looked up and there were 4 HUGE hawks circling my yard! I immediately picked her up and took her inside and my poor baby was shaking because I know she felt my nervous energy. I calmed her down and went back outside and all 4 of them were perched in a tall, dead tree across the street. Attached is a picture below...mind you I was in my driveway and they looked big from the street so imagine how big they actually are on the ground!! I think they must have been watching her for awhile now and know her routine... it really scares me to think something like that could happen to her. I seriously don't know how I would cope. Best believe I would protect her with my life if I needed too. That's the way it should be, she depends on me to protect her and care for her. I will be switching up the routine from now on so that we're not so predictable. Keep your babies close and don't get too comfortable because sometimes that's when disaster strikes!
