Peanut Killed by 2 dogs.....RIP Sweet Boy
 

I dont post very often on the forum but do come and try to read some when I can......it is with a heavy heart that I come to you all today....my sweet beloved Peanut that I loved so very much was viciously attacked by 2 neighborhood dogs on Monday and was killed instantly. Peanut was only about 4 pounds and it was truly a losing battle for him, they broke his little neck. This has upset me more than I could ever have imagined. My daughter (13) witnessed the attack and now today feels guilty that she couldnt stop it. Here in our part of NC, we dont have leash laws, and the dogs are free to roam....well roam they did, right into our yard, we live on 5 acres....Peanut was out with my children, doing his business and just being our sweet boy......THEY came into OUR yard and did this to him. When I first came to this board....I thought....these people are insane buying CLOTHES for their dogs......well.....Peanut had clothes....bows.....you name it, he was my FUR BABY as you all refer to them. Peanut changed my heart towards animals, he turned me into an animal lover. He has a place in my heart that will never be taken by anything else. I loved and still love him so much and my heart is just broken into.....anyone else that has experienced this I would love to hear from you. I am going to post a picture of my sweet boy taken about 2 weeks ago....I thought he was beautiful, but Im partial.......thanks for listening!

Peanut was very handsome and he looks very loved. I am very sorry for your loss.

oh my, im so so sorry for your loss, this is heartbreaking for me..
hugs to you and your daughter...

What a terrible tragedy for you and your daughter. Unfortunately having leash laws doesn't avert it either.

I am so very sorry and may time heal your ache.

So So Sorry!
 

I feel for you! Our property is much smaller - we have a fence all around. I know with 5 acres that is impossible but in the future if you get another pup I would enclose an area so that this doesn't happen.

Please accept our condolences and know that Peanut will be waiting for you on the other side.

I am so sorry for your loss! What a horrific thing to happen. Hugs to you and your daughter.

Bless your heart. What a horrible thing to go through. Your little one was a cutie pie. I just don't understand people letting their dogs run loose. Sure there are accidents when they get out but I am talking about a safe fenced yard to keep their animals from running the streets. If they cared for them it looks like they would not let them roam free like that. My vet told me that it is getting so bad that people can't even walk their dogs anymore from being afraid of being attacked or Lord knows what. We have a leash law but it does not good. I am so sorry that happened to that baby. Healing takes alot of time. The hurt from losing one gets alittle better in time but I wonder if it ever goes away.

What a beautiful little face. I am so sorry you and your dtr have to face such a tragedy. Please know that you both are in my thoughts and prayers. Sleep peacefully, little Peanut.

I am so very sorry for you loss. Hopefully, in time you and your family will heal and maybe look for another furbaby. Peanut was beautiful and will always be in your hearts. RIP.

I'm so very very sorry for you. I can't even imagine how awful this would be. :(:mad:. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. RIP, Peanut.:angelyork

Prayers for you....:angel2dl:

OMG I'm so so sorry - this seems to be happening so much lately -

poor little Peanut - I'm so sorry for your loss...how tragic :(:(:(:(:(

He is absolutly beautiful.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are a good Mommy and I am sure he knows that you love him very much, as he too loves you :(

:(I am so sorry for your loss. RIP little Peanut

I am so very sorry! Please give your daughter a hug for us!
God Bless you during your time of Grief!!

How heartbreaking to hear horror stories like this. This is so unfair and Peanut should not have been a victum to these dogs.

I would go after the owners, fight for Peanut's memory and try to get that law changed!

RIP sweet baby Peanut, you will be so missed.

Hugs to the OP, I'm so so sorry this happened, you are in my prayers.

What a horrible tragedy for everyone and for your daughter to witness and blame herself. I hope she will soon accept that it was just a horrible thing to have happen but she was not in any way responsible.
This sort of thing is happening far too frequently and I think new laws should be passed making leash laws mandatory everywhere, and stricter punishments given to those who do not comply.
Poor little Peanut. He was just a beautiful little boy with the most gentle eyes I've ever seen. I'm so terribly sorry his little life was cut so short.
Prayers will go out to you and your family. Warm hugs to all.

Oh gosh Im so sorry for your loss! My heart breaks for you and your children. RIP sweet Peanut, you are a handsome man!

I am sorry for your loss of Peanut in such a tragic way.Our 5 year old yorkie,
Jingles died in Feb. of a collapsed trachea. The loss is very painful and in time it does get a little better, but I know your Peanut, like our Jingles will always have a special place in our hearts.I'm sure they are playing at Rainbow Bridge together.I will keep you in my prayers. Petloss.com is a very helpul website also for people that have lost their furbabies and every Monday night they have a Rainbow Bridge ceremony.

Jingles mom

Hi, I am so sorry to hear more of these types of heart breaking incidents! I too experienced the same almost 5 weeks ago when my very very beloved Yorkie Dior was attacked and killed by a pit bull in NYC. The person who was walking the dog had a leash but she couldn't control the dog and as a result my baby was viciously attacked and killed. I tried to get the pit to let go of my baby but I was no match for him. He bite me as well. The sad news was the dog was let go and back to the owner. I know how you feel and it will take time to let the nightmare set in. Cry and grief... and let it all out because it hurts! Please do make sure your daughter gets the right support since she seen the whole attack ... I wasn;t able to sleep or eat for two weeks. I am going to see a professional to talk through the tragedy since I can't seem to make myself go pass that ill fated day....... reliving it is not healthy. Once again, I wish I had some magical way to make your family feel better but prayers seem to help me so much.

I am sure Peanut and Dior are playing together with the special blessing from the Lord. He is justice and will make sure these little babies are happy forever.

Btw, I am going forward with the civil court. Its not about the $ its about holding the owner responsible for their dog's actions..... how much pain and suffering could of been avoid if people are responsible.

You are in my prayers.

I am so very sorry for the terrible tragedy poor Peanut had to endure and for the pain & suffering you and your daughter are feeling still.
Our furbabies are so small & defenseless (though they think otherwise) & things like this is a worry always in my mind when I go for walks with mine. I usually try to take routes outside the neighborhood; there are just so many big dogs around.
(((((HUGS))))) to you and your daughter

RIP sweet handsome Peanut:littleang

peanut will always be with you
 

i know what it is like to be where you are but each day will
make it a little easier...i now can think of my two babies and most of the time i think of happy times..but still i have days that i can't hold back my tears . my thoughts and hugs go out to you.

I am so sorry!! This just brought tears to my eyes for your loss of you baby you loved!!
Hugs to you and your family.
