Donating YT 1000 Club Member | UNWELCOME guest! I am so stinking glad I look around before I let my two pups out the door. Last night, something just didn't look right in the big oak tree out back so I went to grab the flashlight. Couldn't find it but the camera was there so I figured when the flash went off I'd be able to tell what it was.

| OMGoodness!!! I am SO glad you checked the tree before you let your babies outside!! I also worry about this, especially when Betty Boop needs to go outside at 2 a.m.! Have you seen owls in your yard before??

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Not owls...hawks We have two that hang around every now & then & I always gather the pups inside when I see them since I've heard too many horror stories. Even though Tuffy is 7 pds & Bella is 11 I don't want them trying. This was weird, I just knew that limb didn't have a bump there. It was quiet too & not very frightened of humans. I yelled & it didn't budge. I wound up taking about 6 shots with the camera before it took off.

| OMG Sherry thank God you were alert. That owl would have tried to get your babies!!! Even if he hadn't been able to pick them up he could have injured them severely if not fatally

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | That limb is about 16" across...it's a BIG owl. When it took off, it's wingspan was close to 3 foot. It's dusk now & I'm a little nervous about letting the pups out.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | It really was scary. For me. Not for Tuffy though; he stood at the screened door barking & raising hell the whole time I was out there trying to figure out what it was.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I lightened the picture so I could see it better, it's really a beautiful picture. Glad your babies are okay, and it's a good thing we have pee pads!

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Tuffy thinks pee pads are just for Bellas' use I thought about a bright spotlight. Then I started researching & it seems the barred owls are attracted to lights & fires. I've been using my firepit the last few nights since it's cooled off a little here in Florida. PLUS, nesting season starts in January. Good grief...
