| Really sad new today. I have some really horrible news to tell if I can manage to type this. Yesterday my yorkie, Coco was out in the yard with us. My 16 year old daughter went next door to my mother in laws yard to pick blue berries and Coco followed her. Coco loved Shelby so much, she followed her everywhere. Shelby got distracted for a split second by a birds nest in the tree and Coco wandered over into our other neighbors yard. She had barely crossed the property line when their son's pitbull ran over and attacked her. We didn't even know he was their with the dog. We got Coco and rushed her to our local vet who stablilized her broken leg and sent us to the nearest emergency clinic, which for us is 1 and 1/2 hours away in Mandeville LA. Coco was rushed into surgery for broken ribs, and a punctured lung. She died there on the surgery table. Our family is devastated. We lost a little dog that was like a child to us. My daughter is heart broken and blames herself, even though I keep trying to reassure her that it wasn't. It breaks my heart to see my children hurt the way they do over this loss. To be honest with you I just wanted to die myself last night, rather than have to come home and tell my children that Coco was gone. I tried so hard to protect both of my dogs and the one minute I'm not on "alert" I lost her. I just can't explain the sorrow and regrets that I feel at this moment. I'm crying typing this, so I'm not going to keep going. I just want to tell all of you to hug your babies a little closer today. Love them like tommorrow might not come and just be as careful as you can with these fragile little darlings. |

| I am so sorry for your loss. It was not your daughters fault in . if you could Someone needs to talk to the owner of the pitbull. However, since the dog was at his own house, I am not certain there is much that can be done. I feel very bad for you and your family . |

| I am so sorry for your loss. Your poor daughter shouldn't blame herself. There wa nothing she could have done to prevent this vicious attack. I hate pitbulls. I hear too many tragic stories like yours. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I'm so sorry for your loss make sure you daughter knows it was not her fault and you trust her no matter what. When I was young I left our gate open at our house an our 4 month old prize bull dog got out and got run over by a car. My mom made sure I understood closing the gate was important but it wasn't my fault the dog was killed. I felt guilty but my mom trusted me with the next puppy she got so I felt better. It helped me to learn to be careful but also that thing beyond our control happen and we cannot blame ourselves. I feel so bad for your daughter and hope you realize it really is no ones fault and you should have no regrets for allowing your fur baby to be with your daughter.

| I'm so sorry to hear of this. You must be devastated not only by the loss of Coco but having to console your daughter. She and Coco had probably gone over there many times with no problem. This is a tragedy but it isn't her fault. I hope in time she'll come to realize this. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time and a special prayer for little Coco. |

awwe I'm sorry for your loss.. you know in ohio they are trying to outlaw the ownership of pitbull breeds altogether. A new Yorkie might actually help the situation though.
