[Toybox Yorkies]

Like all of you we have predators around us on a daily basis. It doesn't matter where you live Hawks are a real problem both in city areas and country areas.

I have Bald Eagles here near the Delaware Water Gap area and north - plus we have a coyote population that seems to be on the rise. I just read somewhere about a guy in Ca. who lost his dog walking in Beverly Hills to a coyote. This was in broad daylight and his dog was obedience trained walking by his side (I don't believe on leash). He heard a yelp and chased the coyote but to no avail.

No matter what the predator all our pets are always in danger and need our constant watching.

How many stories do you hear about children being abducted in their own backyards? No different here - they need safe locked enclosures, including a top, to run around in - which just isn't possible for all of us.

Therefore, having them on a leash is the next best option. They can still be grabbed but you have the other end to save them from whatever it is that has grabbed them.

So whether you live in a city area, or country area please watch your pets!
