I am so sorry you lost your precious Christy to a hawk. I can not phantom the pain and misery that is in your heart seeing your precious baby carried away like that. And you being soing helpless that you could do nothing my heart grieves for you. I live in the fabulious town of Chambersburg pa. Which we have a pigeon problem, which nearly every town has. About 5 year's ago the borough thought it was a bright Idea to release hawk's to take care of the pigeon problem. Needless to say we don't see as many pigeons but now we have a hawk problem. You can not let your pups out unless you are right on top of them they sit in the big pines all the time. I seen one swoop down and take a grey squirrel right off the side of a tree such screaming that little squirrel did and I felt so helpless and they are alway's after the birds. I watch my babies all the time but if one was to take one there is nothing you can do. I personally would Prefer pigeon's instead of the hawk's but we had no say.
