A few days ago I got a call from someone who had bought one of my baby boys several years ago. She called broken hearted because her precious little 4 pound boy was killed by an owl. She had let him out early in the morning to do his business as always, it was still dark outside. She said she always watches him but she ran in the house just for a brief moment to put down a coffee cup and she heard the bird screech. When she rushed back outside her baby was gone. She searched for him for an hour and could not find him. Later that day they found his little body. She figured the bird dropped him after grabbing him. So so sad.

This morning I got another call from someone else that just lost their precious little 4 lb girl. This person had a german shepherd female that had been raised with the little yorkie. Both females were spayed and around 3 years old I think. She said the german shepherd had always been gentle but out of the blue, for no reason she turned on the little yorkie and killed her. She was devastated. The lady was so upset she said she could not even look at the german shepherd. She had the german shepherd put to sleep because she felt the attack on the little dog was so vicious that she could not be trusted. She feared she could possible turn on a child and she did not want that on her conscious. I told her I did not necessarily agree with putting the shepherd down but then I did not witness the little yorkie being killed.

So friends, hold your babies close and love them. Tragedy can strike in a split second. Sometimes the unthinkable can happen.
