Rick Caran re Coco Marla, I am so sorry about Coco. It's a fear that I think any of us Yorkie people have. One problem is that they are so brave, that they feel they can do that little 'snap and act tough' act when big dogs come near or crowd them. Jilli acts fierce toward them, but in reality she has no real defense. You 'can't' blame yourself or Buddy, it was an instinctive response, and one that probably would not have done any serious harm to most larger size dogs.
Your sharing will remind many of us to try to avoid such situations as best we can, which is not easy. Thank you and again, I'm sorry for your loss.
Best regards, Rick |
