But you basically made the same point as me. The neighbor undoubtedly needed to be watching their cat. Theres no arguing with that. Because the neighbors was so irresponsible....their cat (may it rest in peace) was killed. Whether by the op's yorkie or not.
My point is...that YES its YOUR yard....but u HAVE to keep an eye on your pet also. Especially a yorkie, being that its so small. I know some of you are older with kids....so would you have let your baby out in the back yard freely without supervision?....no right?....why?...because there are soooo many things that can happen or go wrong in a split second. Yes its your property...but its still out in the open.... Unless you have a force-field around your yard. lol. 
Now if this was a situation where the Op's yorkie had gotten stolen, squeezed between the fence & ran off, or taken away by a larger bird...because it was left unsupervised in "their backyard"...who was going to take the blame for that?....
The hawk?....the theif??....the whole in the fence?  ....no the OWNER! You shouldnt have to wait for something bad to happen to YOUR yorkie in your own backyard for you to understand that. 
but hey....some people learn better the hard way.  |
Yes, I agree that we need to watch these Yorkies of ours when they are outside as they can be prey themselves.
