My 2.5 yr old Koda was snatched away before me... HELP - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.

sabrinasmom · 11-28-2005, 07:36 AM

This is my nightmare too. We have coyotes and foxes around our house, and it would just kill me if something like that happened. I'm so sorry for your loss! There is not a thing you could do though! Those coyotes are getting so brave and they are just so sneaky quick!

I'm so sorry for you! I can't think of a thing that would help except to tell you it was fast and Koda probably didn't even know what happened.

I'm so sorry.

rrosenberry · 11-28-2005, 07:53 AM

OMG,, I can't even begin to imagine how your are feeling, the loss is unimaginable, yet to have to witness it ... Im feel so bad for you, But I do love the way a big man as you say,, can be madly in love with a little 5lb lovebug! You are in my thoughts and prayers,,let us know how you are doing.

jenstals · 11-28-2005, 08:14 AM

What a tragic tragic loss!! I can not imagine the pain you must be feeling. And to lose your Koda in such a violent horrid way...I am just at a loss for words!!! Try to be strong Brett!!!

scrapindee · 11-28-2005, 08:25 AM

Only having Dayzee for 10 days now, (with 2 other family dogs), I would be so crushed if something were too happen to any of them. I hope you have some peace in your heart and are able to find another puppy to fill the empty place in your life and heart.

Lexi Rae · 11-28-2005, 09:14 AM

oh man, i am so sorry for the loss of your baby... im in tears thinking about the pain you must be going through... i will pray for you and will certainly be in my thoughts.. take care of yourself.

susansmom · 11-28-2005, 10:53 AM

This is so scary. We have coyotes and foxes, too. I thought if I had Susan on a leasch beside me and I had a flashlight that my presence and the light would keep the animals away. I guess not necessarily. This is really, really bad. Brett, I'm so sorry this happened to your Koda. There wasn't anything you could have done.

GurleyGirl · 11-28-2005, 11:39 AM

So sorry for your loss.... can't even imagine that happening..... I never knew coyotes were so brave with people around.... I live out in the boonies and there are coyotes and bobcats around... I never had a problem... but will keep a closer lookout from now on.

Welcome to YT... so sorry you had to post about your loss .... hopefully things will get better soon......

I am so afraid. Koda was everything to me. We were inseparable. She was a 5lb furball and I am a 235 lb ex-athlete that can't stand the pain and loss.
We were walking in a posh Beverly Hills neighborhood at 8:30 pm. I had my baby on chain at my right foot, where she always walked. My friend was at my left walking my other dog. We were talking. I heard a sudden yelp from my girl. I turned and a large coyote had her around the neck and was already running up the middle of the street. God. I cant stop reliving this in my mind. I ran as fast as I could screaming Koda's name. I could see here beady eyes staring at me. Oh god. I felt helpless. I could almost feel her saying "help me daddy". I could not catch the coyote. All my strength and speed from college sports were no match. My baby was taken right before my eyes, in the heart of a residential neighborhood in Beverly Hills.

PArt of my spirit left with Koda the other night. I will never be the same. The past 24 hrs seem like 3 yrs. I am so devastated. I LOVED HER SO MUCH! She is in heaven now waiting for me someday. But damn, I am only 38, if I live to 80 that is 42 yrs away!!

I would appreciate any words of wisdom and encouragement.

Brett

Brett, your in my prayers. I wouldnt know what to do. I can only say that time heals all.

luvmymonkies · 11-28-2005, 12:14 PM

Brett, I am at a total loss for words. I can not imagine what you are going through. Those little "fur balls" are like our children. The love that you feel for your little Koda, I do understand. I am in tears for you as I am writing this. I also live in your area. I am familiar with Beverly Hills. I would never expect a coyote to even be in that area. Just know that she is no longer scared. She is in a happy place now and she lived a happy life with you before. I am so sorry for your loss.

veguroev · 11-28-2005, 01:27 PM

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose you baby. I lost mine Oscar a couple of weeks ago and still hurts so bad. I know that no words will make you feel better righ now, but I will be praying for you because I know how painful it is.

YorkieShadow · 11-28-2005, 02:06 PM

To My Koda in the clouds
I wake up every morning and wish to see the view, All the clouds in heaves, was waiting there for you. The smile that perched my lips. The tears that fill my eyes. Are all because I see my Koda in the sky. Koda I can see your face and I look into your eyes, Some people dont believe it, But Angels never lie. Each time I look into the sky. I search and hope to find a reminder of you. I know you dont mind. It makes me sad that we didnt have more time. For you was the best dog and dear Koda you was mine. You left me with memories that are so dear to me. You gave me all the love you had and left me quietly. I didnt get to say good bye, But you know I was there, Our hearts were bound together forever Koda Dear. Koda in the clouds each time I raise my eyes, I hope to see youe loving face, That fills my heart with pride. Your bright eyes are smiling as you look down at me. and I hear your loving barks as you speak quietly. I love you Koda ..Love Brett

Hey Brett, Im right beside you dear. Wipe those tears away, Keep that twinkle in your eye, Thats where I want it to stay. I know some day youll be with me. and I just want to say. I love you Brett and I know you loved me. Love your Koda in the sky.

goldcupmom · 11-28-2005, 06:08 PM

Brett, I can't even imagine what you are going thru! I'm praying for you!

I live in the high desert in NM and the coyotes are everywhere! A friend heard a noise and went outback and 3 were in her back yard trying to get into her ducks cage. This is over 6' stone walls.

The night before last the howling kept waking up Mia and Max and they were both terrified. Then last night I went to potty them about 3 a.m. and saw a couple down the street about 3 houses. Needless to say we came in and pottied on the pads.

My kids were out playing paintball in the arroyo last summer and 1 walked right up w/in about 3' of them. A few weeks ago there was on on the soccer fields with people walking the track around it - he was drinking from a sprinkler. It is very frightening.

At least we don't have the bears and wild cats (mountain lions) like they have nearer the mountain. And I'm in a metro area, too!

Poor you and Koda. Just spread the word to all you know about the dangers and maybe your experience can save another. It won't bring Koda back, but can maybe bring some good from this tragedy.

TeddyBear · 11-28-2005, 08:32 PM

oh boy this is hard. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't think I could handle that if it were Starsky. I know they are the love of your life and you want nothing to harm them. I have taken Starsky for walks just in the neighborhood, but we do have open spaces around our housing development with Coyotes, foxes, racoons and porupines! I feel sorry for you and all your pain, but I want you to know that this has really help me be more aware of my surroundings and the danger Starsky could be in. My prayers are with you has you heal through this. I lost a dog almost a year ago and it was due to old age. I know something tragic like this is worse. I lost my dad tragically and I know how that feels. Take care, and we are here to support you.

TOBY'S_MOM · 11-30-2005, 09:47 AM

I am so sorry for your loss. I cried when I read your thread as I also lost my baby to an unfortunate accident which i relive in my mind practically every day. The pain does get easier in time and I replaced my baby with another almost immediately. It helped keep my mind occupied with puppy training, etc. I am now a very paranoid mother. I worry about everything, because I know what could happen to these small babies. Trust me, there will be better days ahead.
