I almost got snatched out of my yard the other day. No joke.
I don’t know what it is that tried to snatch me, but it looks like this:
original source unknown
It swoops out of the sky and snatches up little weenies like me. I’m not stupid, when I saw that creature coming for me I cried like a baby and banged on the door until mom came running to let me inside.
Once I was safe inside my big glass dog house I let them have it. Pretty much I told them who’s boss, I don’t think they’ll be coming back anytime soon.
Wooof! Great job Ammo! You tell em’ dude!
P.S. dat is NOT a pikture of me, but of my silly brudder Pompei. I am an will always be a dachshund/
Doxie power! one day we will all take over the world!
Hellos theres Ammo! I am Puddles and I saw yous overs at Joey and Maggies and thought I’d come and meet you. I see you knows dat crazy Texas too, he likes to taunt me…hehehe!
Puddles
Ah yes Puddles. Your reputation proceeds you. I have seen your blog. You are one crazy girl, just like me! 🙂
You have to be careful when you go outside!!
I agree
Be careful Ammo. We love you too much to see you kidnapped!
We had a little toy chi dog and a red tailed hawk swooped down to get him. Mom was outside sweeping the porch and knocked the hawk outta the sky. Stay safe Ammo!
Crazy!!
Wow! Glad you were able to get away and then tell him who’s boss
That happened to us when we first got Sam. There was a hawk outside that kept hovering and flying by. Tom told us to get Sam before the hawk got him. We did! Phew!
Dear Ammo, my mon keeps me safe in a Coyote Vest! They are made for little guys just like us❤️
Wow!
Wow! Never saw anything like that before. Makes me glad we don’t have coyotes where I live….but if I did I’d want one of these vests too!
They look like turkey vultures!!! Yikes!!! Glad you’re safe!!
Luckily for you that bird doesn’t hunt. It was after something already dead. Over here they’re called “cóndor” . Not even a bald eagle could take off carring a 20pounds dog. You’re safe anyway. Glad you’re OK
No, that one is a turkey vulture. ☺
Condors are larger, very rare and not where Ammo lives. Bald Eagles could snatch a dachshund. They have been known to take piglets. and lambs.
Looking at the picture….looks like it
Ammo, that picture is of a turkey vulture. He only likes to eat dead things. So maybe he was just teasing you. ?
There are some pretty big hawks or eagles that can be a threat though. I watch my girls carefully outside because we have a pair of Swainson hawks that live by us.
Stay safe, Ammo
I’m glad you got inside before he got to you
When I first got my baby Abbi, she fit into my hand. When I took her out to to attend to her nature, I hovered over her so the owls, hawks and other flying predators didn’t mistake her for a rat and swoop down and grab her. I had a backache for a while, but I still had her.
Thanks for the info
Oh no, Ammo! So glad you didn’t get snatched! Would love to see you in a “vulture vest.” LOL!
