I'm so glad you and your babies are safe!! I had a few instances a few months ago, and it thoroughly scared me. It scared me to the point that at night, mine are now trained to go on their pee pads in the garage at night. I do also agree that the one that came at us a few times did not at all seem scared of me. He swooped down on one night until I ran the three feet that Bijou was in front of me screaming and flapping my arms like a nut case. But the next time he came at us..she was in my arms and was going crazy.... I couldn't figure out what in the world she was carrying on about bc I had never sen her do this, and then out of nowhere came this very large hawk flying almost eye level straight at me. He literally swooped up into the air maybe 3-4 feet before getting to us. I literally had chills.
I also agree that until this year, I have never heard so much about hawks with dogs!! I have had dogs all of my life, and this is the first time ever that I have ever had to consciously worry and watch for them literally every time mine are outside. I laughed at the armor pics yall posted, and I am just about to the point to have mine in that LOL!! |
