I am so sorry for your loss. M, you are not stupid and this was not your fault. There are so many dangers lurking in the desert environment that it is hard for me to imagine and I've been here over 30 years. I live in Fountain Hills, and we have coyotes traveling the wash just on the other side of our fence, hawks and owls roosting on the cactus in the wash, we've had snakes and a gila monster right in our backyard. I am constantly vigilant about the dangers lurking and extremely protective of my dogs but still consider it by the grace of God that I've had small breed dogs here for all these years without a tragedy.
RIP little Koda, and M I hope you are able to find some peace.
