She was a 5lb furball and I am a 235 lb ex-athlete that can't stand the pain and loss.We were walking in a posh Beverly Hills neighborhood at 8:30 pm.  I had my baby on chain at my right foot, where she always walked.  My friend was at my left walking my other dog.  We were talking.  I heard a sudden yelp from my girl.  I turned and a large coyote had her around the neck and was already running up the middle of the street.  God.  I cant stop reliving this in my mind.  I ran as fast as I could screaming Koda's name.  I could see here beady eyes staring at me.  Oh god.  I felt helpless.  I could almost feel her saying "help me daddy".  I could not catch the coyote.  All my strength and speed from college sports were no match.  My baby was taken right before my eyes, in the heart of a residential neighborhood in Beverly Hills.
 
 PArt of my spirit left with Koda the other night.  I will never be the same.  The past 24 hrs seem like 3 yrs.  I am so devastated.  I LOVED HER SO MUCH!  She is in heaven now waiting for me someday.  But damn, I am only 38, if I live to 80 that is 42 yrs away!!
 
 I would appreciate any words of wisdom and encouragement.
