| Thats so scarey, its just a good idea to always be pretty diligent about watching your furbutt, which l know you are. My sister told me she seen a hawk in our area.. l've never seen one here before. l'm just really careful when Rockie is outside. The suggestions povided sound great, its always good to share information like this.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | That's crazy! We have had them here too. I've seen them in the park and one time one landed on my fire escape with something bloody in it's beak..i think a mouse. Anyway it's unusual but we usually see them in the spring and summer

| Yes, it is a very scary feeling...I've seen them around here as well. I too am shocked how much wild life I see around my house, and we live less then a half a block from a four lane highway...but still, I've seen fox, skunk, hawks, owls and a HUMONGOUS bull snake right in my completely fenced in back yard. I always go out the door before Winston and I take a good look around first, thank goodness I did or I think that snake would have got him for sure...it was right there, out the door, on my patio.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I live smack dab in the city of Austin, Texas and a chicken hawk swooped down and got out Boston Terrier puppy. So believe me, it's not an urban myth. Now I'm so neurotic about those hawks.....I won't even let my hd (I don't even know what that stands for) fill the bird feeders for fear of attracting them. Dreadful bird. |

| That is very scary! I sure would keep the pets in a protected area until this hawk goes somewhere else. Maybe put a pen up and some wire over the top of it so the hawk can't get inside. aacckk!!

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Hmmmm, I showed Jim this picture & he said, "Yep, that's it." Then I showed him a picture of a red tailed hawk and he said, "Oh, that's what it was cuz it was much bigger". So who knows.

| A friend of mine in AZ had an adult siamese cat sleeping in the sun on the door mat right on their porch. She heard the cat scream and ran out to see. The cat had managed to get away from whatever it was, but had big holes in its sides from big talons. It was rushed to the vet and they think it might have been an owl or hawk. The cat did not make it, and the vet said there was nothing that could have been done as there is poison in the talons that would have killed it anyway. I just couldn't handle something like that. We will be moving to the country soon and Daisy will be watched very carefully. Maybe I will have to make her a disco-ball dress!!!!!

| We have hawks all around where I live also - and it's VERY scary. I do NOT let Zoe out alone anyway - but even with us - I make sure she's on a lead with her harness... We also have coyotes (even MORE scary). Last evening (around 6:00) we were on the deck and could hear them howling up a storm...SCARY!!! |
