It swooped down and tried to carry her off. My son stomped and screamed at the bird and it flew off leaving our baby with punture wounds all over her head. She was bleeding everywhere. Her little eye is red, too. At first I thought her eye was gone there was so much blood. It was so traumatic. I had to dress and load up three children and rush to the vet. If my son had not startled the bird he was about to take off. My son said his wings were out, full wingspan. You should have heard us all screaming and going nuts. It was something. This pug is my christmas puppy. I would have been devastated. She is on pain meds and antibiotics now. I pray she heals without mishap. <br /><br />WALK those little ones on a leash!Mama Teaching 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11440142562083992688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-36044181555149788002008-01-09T16:30:00.000-06:002008-01-09T16:30:00.000-06:00Shelly-you are so kind to offer me help.

My husband lived there for a time with his mom who was in the military there. They both often talk about the area bears. Scary about the little bunnies!<BR/>I too have seen the coyotes in the area. Several times I have seen a pack of them (always 3 or 4) by Bearden Farms in Helena/Pelham. LAst year a fox ran out from one of my shrubs in front of my house. Years ago by the Quarry in Helena, I saw a bobcat ( occasionally known as the Bay lynx) that had been hit. I passed by it and saw the spots and had to come back and get out of my car for a closer look. Sure enough! It was just strange to see a spotted cat there. I am always looking out now.<BR/>Brandy- I agree.

It's a fact of life there that you don't let a dog smaller than a cocker spaniel outside unsupervised. Same for small children. Hawks, owls, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and bears are all possibilites. I have heard coyotes outside my window all night while staying there--and this is in town. The coyotes lure bigger dogs away from their yard and then the pack attacks. Coyotes rolled her bunny cage out into the neighboring field before she realized to move it onto a balcony. (Bunnies survived.) Just this year they came home from work to have the neighbors hand them photos of a bear in the tree next to their deck.<BR/>I saw a coyote on the side of I-65 near Pelham just last night.Jeane Goforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883385236562490092noreply@blogger.com
