Another Encounter....

Zoe (my little rat terrier) was barking like crazy a little while ago.  I looked out the patio door and there was our owl friend again.  I am surprised at how unafraid he is of us.  I took my first pictures from inside the house and decided to walk outside.  He just sat there watching me while I shot pictures and walked towards him. 

I shared the first pictures with my neighbor and he expressed concern about the owl.  He indicated that a large owl will sometime scoop up and take off with a small animal.  Miz Zoe is only 15 lbs.  Truth is, I hadn't expected to see the owl out during the daytime.  Zoe is in the house mostly at night.  I figured an owl would be sleeping during the day.  Not sure if I should be concerned or not.  What do you all think?
