An interesting thing happened last week.
We live in a rural area so we are always on the lookout for
coyotes. One thing we’ve never been too concerned about are hawks. Perhaps when
the pugs were pups, but not as adults weighing 16 – 20 lbs. (Dixie would rather
I give a range as opposed to revealing her weight.)
My husband noticed a hawk when he let Macy out this week. Within a few minutes five more were in the yard. One flew so close over
the house that he heard its wings flapping.
Needless to say, Macy was scooped up and brought inside.
As a result, we have called a family meeting to discuss
safety options. The pugs particularly like option 2 – bigger dinners so they
become too chubby to be scooped up.
I am curious, though. If you know anything about hawks, do
they ever hunt in a group? I always thought they were lone travelers.
