Well, Bella had a very close call yesterday. I was out of town with dd & her girlfriends for an early birthday celebration. DH was @home watching the games. He said Bella was crying to go outside so he let her for a little while. Shortly after, he heard a sound like wings flapping & fluttering in flight. Turned around & saw a huge hawk (which wasn't at all intimidated by his presence a few feet away).

Yes, thankfully dh scooped Bella up & went inside, grabbed the camera & this is what was still lurking around in our backyard.
Needless to say, even though our backyard is fenced in......no more free run & play for Bella.
Pls be safe out there!
