Been a big Bald Eagle hanging around the last two days. Today a woman came up looking for her little Miniature Poodle. She was crying saying she thought some big dog may have gotten it. She had it out on a line in the front of the house. When she came out all she found was a bloody collar that had been ripped apart, and some blood on the ground. I told her about the Eagle, she would not believe it and left. As she walked down the street, she met Crystal, my neighbor. Crystal told her the same thing I told her, You never leave a small dog outside up here. If Eagles don't get them Coyotes or Wolves will. Even here in our subdivision.
I took Prince, my Miniature Pinscher, for a run this afternoon. I rode my bike, while he ran. I stopped and noticed the Eagle was circling above us. I shortened the leash, and we kept moving after that. When we got home the Eagle landed in a spruce tree in the front yard. I brought Prince inside and went back out and sit in the swing. The Eagle sat and watched me for a while, then flew away.
