How could someone??
 

I cannot believe this has happened. Literally 3 hours ago someone shot my sisters 7mo yorkie, Lucy, in the neck! How could someone be so sick!!! My sister was driving her to the emergency room, but she passed on the way there. The kids(dogs, 5 in all) had been the house all day, since she was working, She had let them into the backyard to play,while she cleaned herself up. She said she was probabley 10mins max, she went to bring them all in and Lucy lying on the porch. She is devasted. What horrible is that she was just bringing them in take them to my mom's for the week, as she was going on a trip. They called the Police, and all they said is that too bad, they can't do anything. so much for it to be a felony to kill animals(pets) in the state of Colorado!!! I have been crying my eyes out ever since. My sophie and lucy were sisters, from my moms yorkie. I almost took Lucy as well as sophie, but lucy loved my sister much more then my house. She was the sweetest little thing, a great cuddle buddy. I just don't know how someone could do something so awful. Sorry for the rant...I just can't stop crying I really need to get this out.

I am so sorry. This is terrible. We recently visited Daisy's breeder and he told us that the neighbors shot Daisy's daddy and he died. What is wrong with people?

OMG... I can't imagine... who on earth would do such a thing? And the police do nothing about it??? I'm so sorry for your sister's loss (and yours)... she must be devastated. If it were me... I think I would do some snooping around to find out who the culprit was.

What in the world is going on, that people can just do this, and think it is ok!! This blows my mind. I am so sorry to hear this.

I am so sorry for your little one! RIP little Lucy. :(

I hope the person who did this gets what they desevere. People who hurt animals are horrible!!!! I would put up flyers of what happened and maybe someone will turn in the person who did this. I don't know if anything can be done to them but at least your neighbors would know about this person and maybe his life would be a living HELL with everyone knowing what he did!

I'm so sorry this happened, I hope you raise a stink about it. I don't understand why the police can't do anything. Call the newspaper, local news, and whoever you can think of. If this is the case, people need to be aware that someone is out there shooting dogs, and the police won't do anything.

I just don't understand what is happening to people today??? Are they all going nuts or something? What the f:eek::eek::eek:!! You can't even let your own dogs out in the yard for a few minutes and something like this can happen!! I'm so sorry for you and your sister!! I would definitely go to the media about your story and how the police could care less!! Hugs to you both...

i cant believe that! sometimes i think people have no heart! although it wasent my Yorkie (thank god) my cat was kicked in the face by some kid, which blinded her, broke her jaw and resulted in her getting put down.

i would cause such a scene people would be scared! i would call the police everyday. Because even if they want to be heartless, and not have sympathy that your sister just lost her baby and her personal pet, that is destruction of property at the very least!

dont let it go!

My heart aches for your loss. I am so sorry. I too would be absolutely devastated. Hugs to you.

OH MY GOD ! that's horrible and if I were you I'd try to find out who did this and track them down and GO AFTER THEM ! There has to be something you could do - and I can't believe someone can shoot a gun into someones YARD and it isn't a crime :mad::mad:

That poor baby.

I am so sorry for your loss .

I am so sorry! Personally, I would write a letter to the editor of the local paper. You would be surprised by the amount of support you can get that way. People in your area may be outraged enough to make a change in the law or to actually enforce the ones on the books.

That is so sad. :(

OMG!!!!!!!!! what part of colorado are you in? Please let me know if you need anything! THis is awful. And there are things you can do. Like report it to our local news, once they get the story out I bet the police will be all over it. That is horrible. I cannot believe this. IF someone ever comes near Armani to shoot him, I think I would prob take the bullet myself. Everyone thinks I am nuts, But ARMANi is my life, he is like my baby, I cannot imagine anything like this happening. I am so sorry for your loss. Please let me know if I can do anything.

OMG, I am sooo sorry, I can't even image. And since I saw you lived in Colorado I looked what area you are in and you are in the same zip code as me! Now I'm totally freaked out! This is supposed to be one of the safer areas in Colorado. Please, if there is anything at all I can help with or do for you, please let me know. My heart goes out to you.

What area are you guys in? I am in the Centennial/Denver area.

I am so sorry. This is tragic! My heart goes out to you and your sister!

Near Standley Lake in Westminster

o my. This is just awful. I told my dad, who said he will let his customers know that have dogs (Yorkies in particular).

My heart goes out to you and your sister and family. How awful. There are toomany sick people walking loose. I am getting to the point of not wanting to take my babies out at all. I hope they can find something out. Did any of the kids see anyone strange nearby?

OMG....what is wrong with people?????How could anyone do such a thing....and the police do nothing??? I just do not understand. My heart is aching for your loss.....

I'm so sorry. It's so sad that there are so many heartless people in the world. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Sleep peacefully, Baby Girl.

well I spoke to my sis last night, she says she suspects the neighbor boy. She thinks he did it from his upstairs window. There was no obvious holes in the fence to point it towards him. but she is pretty sure that it is his room that looks into her yard. She told the officer that and he over to talk to them, but he was told that only the 17 year daughter was there all day alone. But my sis is positive that when she was coming home from work that there was another car at the house, but it was gone when they were going to the puppy hospital. So the cop basically told her you can't prove it so there is nothing they could do. But since she has 2 other yorkies and two other dogs, she is afraid to make too big of an issue. She is just so scared to be there. She never wanted to live there, but that is her fiance's house...so she just feels stuck. Maybe now he will change his mind.


Larsensyorkie- we are totally neighbors!!! we are in the same exact area.
But this incident occurred in thorton- not exactly the best of areas, but still a newer development.
Tatiana-my inlaws are in littleton, and englewood. I'm in your area pretty often.

I am in absolute shock over this.

surely theres some kind of law that was broken when a weapon was used in a residentual area? maybe your sister can get an investigation going by saying that her property was damaged? I know it stinks to think of our babies as property :(, ...just trying to think outside the box, I'm so sorry for her loss:cry:

This is such a horrible experience. I am so sorry for you and your sister.

unfortunatly, this is not really rare around here. My friend's neighbour shot my friend's small dog. and his ezcuse was that he barked too much. This was the q=most quiet dog on the planet! The sicko!:tongue4::sickie:

im so sorry.. i feel soo bad.. hugs to her...
im so mad right now, some people i swear .

Plus now MY neighbour has taken to shooting small animals. (rodents, birds, cats although he hasn't hit a cat yet):eek::eek::eek:

SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry! Is there any way you can get the bullet? My cat was shot about six years ago and I also found him on the porch, unable to move. We got him to the Vet and the bullet had broken his pelvis. Fortunately he survived and is fine now, but the bullet is still inside his body! The x-ray shows that it is from some kind of canister air gun. I tried to find out who in our neighborhood had one of those guns, but was unable to find out.

I'm so sorry about what happened. People can be so cruel. :(
