The day I brought Asia home the guy across the street came to meet her and warned me about the hawk in our neighborhood. The ladies and their Lab. we see every morning on our walk also warned me and told me that one of our neighbors just lost a puppy in their back yard when they let it out to potty. Nobody thinks about danger in a fenced in yard coming from above. A hawk tried to pick up a dog that was to big, he could not get it off the ground but he did tear off the dog's ear. This dog was attacked on the deck. Asia is not allowed outside without leash but I still keep a close watch. When a Hawk is hunting it is only looking at it's prey. It may not even notice you are there until it is to late.
I have a xpen that I put netting over the top of for Asia to play outside in. |
