Those pictures are so cute. When I was a kid we went away for the weekend and came home and found a baby opossum in the garbage can. It scared me at first but my dad showed me how to take care of it. It was probably 5 weeks old at the time so it was about ready to be on it's own. I think my dad just wanted me not to be afraid of them. We released it after a week. They sure are not my favorite furry creature of the forest but I can sympathize with their plight.
I agree that the owls and hawks are the worst threat to the Yorkie. I have heard of owls swooping down and trying to pick up a little dog on a leash. Just hearing that I decided to make sure the sun is shinning brightly before Gracie's morning walk! Never heard of a coyote being that aggressive with a human around but I guess it's not common for an owl to swoop down in front of a human either. Must be Yorkie's are especially tasty looking. I guess they could look a lot like a bunny to a near sighted coyote or owl! Either way I keep Gracie on a short leash! Maybe I should carry a big stick. |
