OMG...how terrifying!
And to top it off, AC didn't even want to believe Cali was capable after you'd given them an eye witness account! Wow!
It is amazing, though, how fast the 'DNA' kicks in. We do not think of the little ruffle-and-bow wearing lap warmers as hawk or rodent killers. Yet, in half the blink of an eye, a 3 lb 14 oz snuggle buddy (1) identified an unknown, larger than herself, previously unseen object as an attacker, (2) reacted to defend herself and/or her territory, (3) repositioned herself properly for a target that was NOT what she was bred to eliminate, and (4) killed it by pure INSTINCT...never having any training or prior practice other than play! We simply cannot give Yorkshire Terriers adequate respect for what they are capable of, since, clearly, we honestly cannot fathom the talents they possess.
I am
so glad that Cali is okay, and that your heart is still beating...and I'll bet your watch is wound nice and tight now, too...lol Someone else in Florida posted about the fishing line...which is quite effective...just, if I was to string line, I'd make absolutely certain it was out of the reach of running human heads...I'd not be willing to risk unwanted consequences.
Oh, and I don't think I'd choose a 'Big Bird' costume for Halloween and tease, sneak up on, or surprise Cali...now that she's experienced and all. <just kidding, of course>
