He was eight pounds. Just came right down and grabbed the dog. He was not wearing a leash. If he'd had a leash she may have been able to get him back from said hawk. They are not shy. I have chickens and we have hawks nesting in our yard. If a chicken gets out... The hawk is there like white on rice. Not much you can do to deter them. I think our big dogs keep them at bay a bit. Be very watchful, keep Mooshu on a leash.

My mom had to make a fenced in play area, with top to keep them safe, and from snakes too. If you have them do not forget about them awful things.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553319266378782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-47742162710697816802009-05-23T11:42:01.241-04:002009-05-23T11:42:01.241-04:00Be vigilant even when you're out with Mooshu.

And it was NOT a small cat - she said it was the fattest cat in the county. These birds can get pretty cheeky some times so just be ever watchful even if you're right there with little Mooshu.Split Rock Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024537773861076383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-82129853443084955542009-05-23T11:32:49.032-04:002009-05-23T11:32:49.032-04:00yes..he does have a teed off 'thwarted' look doesn...yes..he does have a teed off 'thwarted' look doesn't he?

We see birds of prey flying over head at my parents sometimes (they live in far more rural an area than we do), but I've never heard of a wild one coming up that close before!<br />I can see exactly why you never leaver Mooshu unattended!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054958394707123993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-82633340883721576032009-05-22T10:24:31.034-04:002009-05-22T10:24:31.034-04:00wowzer yeah watch out for the little puppy... that...wowzer yeah watch out for the little puppy... that hawk looks amazing... I don't think it's a red tail but I'm not expert... it's weird but in NYC we have hawks and falcons. Very rare but thee is a pair of nesting peregrine falcons overlooking Central Park. I think they're fascinating!LiPeonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625808606899763475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-8156074527246772282009-05-22T09:31:13.918-04:002009-05-22T09:31:13.918-04:00What a beautiful bird!
