I look up, and there's a flippin HAWK trying to make off with the puppy!! WTH, a hawk! Eight years living here, and I have NEVER seen one before! I run towards them screaming and waving my arms, and this bird blew me off!! Luckily my patio broom was close, so I smacked the crap out of this bird. I don't care if it's endangered, it was trying to make off with my Peanut!! It managed to fly up to the wall, where I promptly knocked it off with the broom. I made good contact with that broom, I jacked that bird up! I swear if it comes back I will kill it

! I am so mad at this bird, poor Peanut is soo scared

!!

OMG that is so scary i know it happened to my with my minpin last summer but with me i ran to her before the bird got it's dive in on her that was so scary that i hvae been afraid to let her walk outside without a harness and a leash now! And only with me!

Wow...glad all turned out ok. I would and will (if ever needed to, do the same as you!) We have lots of haws around here. We have a big one that hangs out in the park by the beach where we walk all the time. I am forever on the look out for that guy. Moose is 13 lbs, and my hubby says the hawk could and would still pick him up if he wanted to.

Awww, Peanut is absolutely adorable. I am so glad that you were there to protect those babies.

I have done some research because of the hawk we have hanging around, what i read is that all they have to do is try to pick one up and the talons would kill the dog. My father is a hunter and he has seen them with rabbits.

That God you were faster than that hawk. We have RedTail Hawks here and I have to keep a close eye to the skies whenever I have the babies out.

I have been trying to think of ways to keep them safer outside in this small fenced area we have. I wish I knew where they made really big nets that I could somehow hang up over their area. I would feel so much safer.

my mom lives in longview tx & she has a tiny shi tzu named isabelle, there was one (chicken hawk) that kept circling when she would take her out & she made my dad go get her sum supped up high-powered bb gun LOL I think she even had him put some kind of scope on it!

her motto is whatever it takes!!

I'm glad Peanut is all right!! I'm tickled pink that you smacked that hawk!

There are hawks all over where I live, along with coyotes and bobcats.

I had my backyard fenced in, and constantly watch the sky when I'm out with my babies. They're NEVER outside without me or my son.

I'm with you - I'll shoot first and ask questions later (after I get rid of the evidence

)
