Ohhhhhhh...you are so correct!! Several years ago I was behind my house in the evening with my chihuahua and she was going "potty". I was standing right next to her and this owl swooped down and tried to get her. I started screaming and waving my arms and he swooped down 4 times trying to get my dog!! Scared the "poopy" out of me!! Hubby was standing on our front porch talking to a friend and came running out back as he heard me screaming. What a persistant preditor!! The owl...not my hubby...lol Now when my hubby takes out the dogs at night I tell him ya can't just stand on the porch and let them walk out in the yard by their self. Chihuahuas get all humped up going potty and look like a bunny and the owls try to get them. They have sharp talons and would hurt the dog bad even trying to get them. Corry
