The breeder that sold me my Chloe told me a few horror stories (told to me at the sale before the love set in) I took her so seriously and now I am more glad I did after reading these letters. I would have never thought it possible and couldn't imagine having to deal with the loss. When I first got Chloe and had her on a 10 foot cat lead inside her pet playpen in my yard while always sitting right next to her, ALL my friends & my daughter laughed at me, if I went inside even to make a cup of tea, in she went with me. After being a mom of grown kids and getting my new YorkieBaby, I was teased continuously about how serious I was taking the warnings, afterall I was told we live in the city! 2 months after the teasing started, the human society was 5 miles away from where I live trying to trap a HAWK! My girlfriend Diane, who laughed the hardest at me, called to apologize and was still in shock & felt she had to admit that she saw the hawk and now is a believer. She recently also heard about a Chiwahua being grabbed by a hawk in Central Park in New York City surrounded by hundreds of people walking through the park!! It seems these animals don't care who is nearby, The news report in the New York Times stated that any dog under 18 lbs would be in danger from these wild animals because their prey weigh in that area. It makes sence if you think about it, their prey usually would be rabbits or squirrels, which are both bigger then my Chloe! The human society representative said this is NOT new news, it's just more talked about now!!!
