we have a few hawks around here, but I never thought of them swooping down and taking a puppy. how horrible that must be. Dwina, so glad the little guy is doing better. Must have been a horror trip for him too, but it's all over now and you both are on the mend from that. I told dh about that, an he said it had to be a mistake, b/c poodles are so gentle. Glad you're back to chatting again on the board too. It's nice out today, hope everyone has a beautiful day today.
