I am so glad Calli is ok!! What a brave brave little girl!!! I also do not live in the country... but, I had a hawk swoop down on us a few months ago. I was terrified, and it only swooped down and then right back up so I cannot imagine the terror you had to feel watching the hawk with your baby!! I am so glad she reacted as she did, and I am so happy for you that it turned out so well!!
I also now hate hawks, and I am literally on pins and needles when I take mine outside. After the hawk incident we had, I cannot let mine run around in the back yard. They only go out on leash right beside me. I also do agree with the previous posters that hawks can and will carry off animals up to 8 pounds. After I told my vet what happened, he told me to be extremely careful bc a hawk could easily carry off my dogs. I haven't taken it lightly, and I literally keep my eyes peeled for any the entire time we are out. |
