My 2.5 yr old Koda was snatched away before me... HELP
 

The love of my life, my baby girl Koda, died Thanksgiving night. She was only 2.5 yrs. I can't function. I can't stop crying. I wanna be in heaven with her so bad right now. I am new to this forum. 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.

I can not imagine the pain you are going through. I have never lost a dog to an accident..I have lost many to old age, disease and it is very painful.
To tell you the sorrow will get better with time isn't much help right now..and honestly, I never forget the lost ones.
The only thing I reflect on in a situation like this is the fact your Yorkie was loved every day of its life..many Yorkies suffer every day of their life and have no love at all...best wishes

I am so sorry for your pain and loss!!! That was a horrible thing to have to witness :( So very very sorry. There is a special section on this forum for people who have lost pets...you might want to check it out.

Oh how horrible!!!! I think it takes a REAL man to share his feelings like you just did! Hang in there! We\'re here for you and I\'ll pray for you in church today!

I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss. We just lost our Kelli the morning after Thanksgiving, but I can\'t imagine the pain you\'re going through from seeing that in your mind. PLEASE know that we\'re all here for you, you\'re in our thoughts and prayers and it WILL get easier with time. It will. Koda would want you to go on and live and she knows that you did EVERYTHING in your power to save her. She loves you, and eensor is right, it takes a REAL man to share his feelings like this. Talk as much as you need to, we\'re all here for you.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your baby. You have got to get yourself another baby as soon as you can. Chloe sends hugs and kisses.

Brett,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can\'t even imagine what you are going through right now. Time will help, your Koda is playing in Heaven right now. I\'m sure she is looking down on your right now. I will keep you in my thoughts. I know it took a lot for you to share your feelings the way you did. I am so proud of you. It is helpful to talk about these things, and all your YT friends are here for you...

I am so sorry for all you are going through.

I don\'t have words...I was shocked and very sad reading that - I\'m so sorry and I don\'t think I could get over that kind of pain...My condolences to you...I\'m so so sorry to hear what happened to your Koda....PLEASE keep trying to focus on what you shared together and try to take those awful images out of your mind....What a nightmare - I\'m really sad for you.

I have no doubt that Koda lived her life to make you happy. Don\'t sully the great memories you have by letting this tragedy destroy you. You\'ve already taken steps to heal by sharing the story in a way that could benefit others. If this could happen to you, it could happen to any of us, and I, for one, have learned something. Thanks for that.

I am so incredible sorry to hear about your loss. I can not imagine the grief you are going through right now!! You will be in my thoughts as you struggle right now!

I am so sorry about your Koda, how horrible you must feel, what you went trough is my worst nightmare, as i take Rosi out for a walk before bedtime. Now i will be even more careful and put her on a short leash, normaly i use a retractable.
Again i am so sorry for your loss !
