This kills me to even write this. We and five of our friends searched for hours and hours. Searched the house and a three mile radius door to door frantically searching for her. And then he had to go to bed. I put up flyers until 6 am before laying down with him. And never heard a single sound. And then 17 hours after she went missing, while he was at work I heard a single whimper and I rushed upstairs and tore that bed up like a crazy bitch and there she was. She was soooo hot and sweaty and limp... And when I picked her up she looked at me and shuddered and died. I lost my mind. I carried her into our clinic screaming for them to help her. I held her for hours and then Scott held her for hours inconsolable. It really messed with our heads and proved to us how very fragile their little lives really are. And that simple fact is so deeply ingrained to him now, and he is so attached to Izzy that he won't even allow the thought of anything hurting her, much less actually hurting her. And her and Toby play fight like crazy. We call it Yorkie UFC... And she will usually get the best of Toby despite the size difference. And she will yelp sometimes. But this is a different degree of yelping now.hes actually hurting her and not easing up. So he's not being overly sensitive to her crying out. Toby just lost his give a s**t it seems. I felt the need to explain all that so you know where Scott's protectiveness stems from and why. Once again, sorry if it was too long

I'm sorry for what happened but that's not an excuse to lose your cool with an animal like that. It really scares me that he did that and I fear for Toby.
