Sounds younger than eight weeks to me if the eyes just opened. Good luck to the pup.
In other words, a Democratic puppy became a Tea-Party puppy on Tuesday.
I hate birds of prey.
They can all go extinct for all I care.
Last year I heard my little Yorkie screaming outside, just as I got the door open my Jack Russel and my Lab went flying out the door. A Horned Owl had the Yorkie and the Jack Russel hit the Owl so hard the feathers were flying then my lab Gus hit the owl and pretty much ruined his whole day. Nothing punctured on the Yorkie, couple of pretty good guts on Maggie the Jack Russel and Gus had owl for supper. The little JR hit the owl going full blast, she’s fearless.

My daughter once house sat for a family with 3 of them, it was an education.
A powerful thermal might have done it. I would have named the puppy Freefall, or Bounce.
I love JR’s. I had one named Barney. It would kill squirels, cats, and even latched onto a goats neck once. Fearless creatures. They definitely do what’s in their nature..
Millions of rodents agree with you.

I like raptors until they draw near my kitties, or near the pheasants I feed out here in the driveway during winter.
At that point they become birds of MY prey.
That probably happened after he got mugged by the hawk.
I watched a hawk pick up and drop a squirrel from about 20 feet in the air, into my back yard. The squirrel was stunned but he staggered off.
Fairly partial to eagles myself.
I’m with you! And they are now in suburban neighborhoods - unheard of when I was a kid. Buzzards, hawks...yikes!
I once had a fish land near me. I know there were Ospreys in the area, as well as Bald Eagles.
“She’s assuming he’s about eight weeks old because he opened his eyes for the first time, Tuesday.”
Puppies typically open their eyes for the first time in 7 to 10 days. Same is true for kittens...
