Brett,
I'm so sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts & prayers.

PATTI AND JACK · 12-06-2005, 12:46 AM

My husband and I just read your posting and we are so very sorry to hear of your loss. We also live in Calif. and know the danger of cyotes but that is so unusual in Beverly Hills. We are so so sorry. We lost our precious yorkie Nov. 5th. blessed having her for ten and half years, she was our baby. I do believe that God has a special place for all our precious pets and that your baby is now with our Cassie and others. We pray for all who are going through what you and we are at this time, God knows our hearts and He will sustain us and get us through times such as these. God Bless You and comfort you. Patti and Jack

you poor thing...I am so so so sorry that happened. i couldnt even imagine that. I guess there really was nothing that you could do for her.....my prayers go out to you.

Brett,

Hardly a day goes by that I dont say a prayer for you. My little monkey is my best friend, and to have him taken away in such tragic fashion would be devistating. How are you holding up? Have you thought of adding to your family in Kodas memory?

dhudson4 · 12-16-2005, 08:00 AM

OMG I am so sorry for your loss. I can't put in words what you must be feeling.

Cisco'smom · 12-17-2005, 08:35 AM

I am so sorry for your loss.
I cried when i read yor post, thinking of my little one.
I cannot imagine how awful that would be-I have heard of the coyotes and pets in CA, but never realized how brazen they are.
Try and take comfort in knowing that she knew how much you loved her.

Im sorry for your loss

Tiger's Mom · 01-20-2006, 02:56 PM

What a horrible thing to happen right before your eyes. I just hope she did not feel any pain . . .

Could not believe there are coyotes right in the city . . . . I grieve your loss!

SolnzeUSB · 01-20-2006, 03:43 PM

Brett, I too am very sorry and hopefully everything will settle with time even if it might seem that way now. But thank you for telling us this story. It reminds us how careful we all have to be.
We were playing outside the house today and the little one was running through some bushes and out of sight a couple of times. After about 10 min we decided to go for a walk down the road towards the woods. As we walked about 1000 feet down the road something ran accross the road. When we got closer we realized it was a decent sized wolf looking straight at us. We got a little freaked out and decided not to make it uncomfortable and left the area. But this is another example of being conscious of your surroundings. Be careful out there!

bkessler · 01-28-2006, 06:53 AM

Brett, i am so sorry for the loss of your baby.. That had to be horrible.. i could never imagine having to go through that.. I know how hard it is to lose a pet but know she is waiting for you.. I felt that way when Mocha died.. I am 25 so if I live to be 80 thats like 60 years or something!! Good luck

LittleMissChloe · 02-20-2006, 12:39 PM

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby. I've read this post a few times now, and everytime it brings tears to my eyes. My little one is almost 2.5 now and I cant imagine how painful it must be to loose a baby in such a horrible way. You and your baby are in our thoughts.

PrincessMia · 03-10-2006, 09:54 PM

yorkie_momma · 03-18-2006, 09:32 PM

We had 3 yorkies. Mickey was our little man of 5 years & was 5 lbs, then we had recently purchased our little Gizmo who had just turned 1 year old and weighed 2 lbs. Then we had our little Cindy girl who was about 1 1/2 yrs old at the time, weighing about 4 lbs. One evening I came home from work & like I did every evening that I came home, I let my little babies out to do their little doggy deeds. We lived outside of city limits in a surburb type area on 1 1/2 acres of open land. Never did we leave the little dogs outside at any time by theirselves. The little dogs lit out in the yard, and Gizmo and Cindy ran to the huge cedar tree they always ran to every evening...as my older dog sorta sauntered a small distance away from them veering to some pine trees. The 2 at the cedar tree started barking hysterically, then I saw my Mickey dog running in their direction. As I was walking to the cedar tree to where they were, I heard a young neighbor child hollering as if she was hollering at their dog, which they always had tied up in their yard, part pit bull and boxer. As I neared the tree, my Mickey dog had already arrived and so had the big dog, of which I couldn't see for the big bushy cedar tree. I was within 3-4 feet of snatching up my Mickey dog before that dog, literally, clamped his mouth on my babies back, shook him in the air and took off running with him. I lost it. I was screaming, so was the little girl of about 9 or 10 years old. I didn't know what I was gonna do chasing that dog to get my little dog back. He could had easily turned on me, but I never thought about that. I chased that dog, about 2 blocks. The mother of the little girl had come out and also set chase to the dog. When it finally dropped my precious little boy, I picked him up with his hide laid back and he made one last long sigh in my arms. Blood dripping down my arms, my lungs feeling like they were gonna burst, chest hurting and legs feeling so heavy I didn't feel like I was gonna make it make to my yard. The big dog passed me up like a train and headed back to my yard with my other 2 babies aloose. I hollered at the little girl to please get her dog and tie it up or get my babies and put them in my house. My husband is a daytime sleeper & was asleep on our couch. She did manage to get my little girl dog inside my house and holler at my husband. He came out as I entered our yard wailing like a banshee carrying our little dead Mickey..only to see the big dog grab my little girl dog up in his mouth. She is a scrapper and fought like like a little tiger. I just knew all 3 of my babies were gonna be dead and I was helpless. That dog was killing them like chickens. I hit the ground in hysterics and then my husband came to me carrying our little tiny Gizmo...skin ripped, blood everywhere and dead. In a matter of 5 minutes or less, 2 of our little buddies were dead. It took awhile to find Cindy girl. When we did she did make it in our house and was hid fast tight under our bed. I literally had to pull her out from under the bed she was so distraught. She had skin scratches on her belly and some puncture wounds on her back, but she lived. To this day she is very nervous around dogs and will bark her head off at them...she didn't use to bark like that before this happened. This event causes knots in mine & my husbands stomachs every time we relive that incident. So needless for this to have happened...stupidity on my part. But this was something we did every evening. We both bawled all weekend when that happened. We had to bury our babies and that was about more than we could handle. I tried to comfort my husband by telling him, they were just dogs, and not human children. I didn't actually believe this either but he had a way of putting it..."they bled red blood the same as me & they breathe the same air that I do"... I understood only too well. We miss those little guys soooo baaaad!! We have another little boy dog that is now going on 2 yrs. old and weighs between 4-5 lbs...he and Cindy have had a litter of pups together and in the making of another litter-to-be. We love him too, but as all yorkie lovers knows, they each have their own personality & are so different in so many ways. As with children, it would not matter if you had 16 more yorkies after the one you lost, not a single one would ever replace the ones you lost. It is a killer! It still hurts so bad...to us both!
