I have a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard...and we pretty much live out on our patio outside space so I'm out with my babies the whole time...I don't worry so much about Bella she is 9.9 lb teapot...but my little man Harley is 9 mos and only 4.4 lbs and Ivy I think is gonna be a teapot she is 9 mos also and 5.7 lbs, but I always have an eagles eye on all of them especialy Harley cause he is so little, I know a hawk would get him for sure...so if I have to go inside for something they follow me in or I'll call them and make them go in with me...but I don't have to much of a problem with the hawks....my huge problem right now is bufo/toad frogs, they are very toxic, just last week on the news, a family not to far from me lost they dog to one of those frogs...he either bit down on the frog or it got into his water and it killed the bulldog...so Hubby & I have to put the kids on their leash in the evenings and early mornings when the bufo are very active to go out to potty...its awful...and Thanks to a very nice YT member, gave us a few tips on keeping them out of our yard, so Hubby is in the middle of digging 2 foot down below our fence and adding chicken wire fence below ground and bring it up 2 foot above ground as well to help keep these bufo out of our yard and we spread out salt in the yard, especially around the fence inside and outside and our house to protect our kids....soooo hoping this helps cause they have gottem really bad in the past year...before that I never seen or had any problems with them...The YT member said the chicken wire will keep them fron digging under our fence and getting in and the salt will burn their feet and make them leave the area...fingers crossed this works.
