The following is from the ABC e-forecast, J.B. Elliott. JB
lives in the Trussville area and he and his wife have Little Miss Molly.
I often tell people that we don't have cats rather our cats have 2
people! The story below is scary. There is always something to
look out for!
MY TINY CORNER OF THE
WORLD: Little Miss Molly had a nice ballgame last evening, but around
midnight when it was time for her to go to bed, she went on an energy
explosion. She runs through the house at breakneck speed and you can hear her
toenails digging into the carpet for traction. She throws her favorite balls
all over the place and then stops to look at me to see if I will play. I received an e-mail yesterday from
Terri, who is a long-time reader and who also loves dogs. Unfortunately, they
lost their dog last May due to a snake bite. I want to quote her word for word
and it really grabbed my attention. “…Here is something that people need to be aware of. Hawks
seem to be in abundance and they can pick up small animals like kittens,
Chihuahuas and other small animals. I witnessed this yesterday as I was
driving to work. A hawk took flight from a sidewalk as I was driving through
Bluff Park. It had something with four legs in its talons. It upset me so much
that I had to fight back the tears. I blew my horn, but it did no good. A
friend of mine, who lives in Alabaster, said that they quit letting their
Chihuahua out without them being right beside it due to hawks flying over their
neighborhood.” Thanks Terri. I will certainly be on watch.
