| we have an outdoor kennel it is 10x20 and we used white plastic lattice on the top because of the hawks we have here. they can't get in and it offers some shade and still lets in sunshine and it don't sagg and tear like a tarp-- it did get old and my husband reinforced it with some lumber, don't look to good but works |

| Oh my! PLEASE be careful!! We had a hawk incident recently. It flew in throught he loose door screen on my parents porch after Cody and Abby! The scary part is, my dad was right there...in between dogs and hawk and it didn't think twice about continuing to go after them anyway. |

| The hawk and owl danger is very scary. Those of you with bigger yorkies should still beware. The breeder I got Maddie from had a sheltie which was about 16 pounds. A hawk or eagle tried to get it. This dog still has the scars to prove it and thank goodness it didn't break the dogs back. Even if you have your dog on a leash, if an owl or hawk swoops down, their talons can penetrate the dog's spine and kill it..so even if you were pulling on the leash to get it away from the bird, it would probably be too late! Thing is, they attack without warning...they are so sly and so quiet! Wishing everyone's yorkie safety against these birds of prey!

| Yikes, a hawk, how scarey!! I would suggest that you let a conservation agent know but that probably isn't wise incase something 'happens' to the hawk. Do you live in a rural area? Would anyone know if you took care of the hawk yourself? Whatever happens, be careful!

| Hawk!!! I had my girls out on the deck with me, and the wind was a bit colder than I liked, so I popped back inside to get my coat. I wasn't in there more than 10 seconds. Really. When I stepped back outside, a HAWK flew over the deck not 3 feet above my head!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! Freaked me RIGHT OUT!!! Never ever ever will I leave my girls out without me.
