Dear Moleman,

I know well the heartbreak of losing a beloved dog.
People who do not have a dog they love can not understand how you feel. They think you are crazy or foolish. NOT!
There is absolutely nothing on this earth that can love you like a dog will. My heart goes out to you.

When our dog died 10 years ago, my husband insisted on going to the breeder the next day to get a new puppy.

I thought he was nuts and a bit coldhearted. I was very wrong.
As miserable as we all were, buying that puppy was the best thing he could have done! She distracted us from the grief and made us laugh when we were sad.

We had her for years until she passed and I now have three of her babies (grown). They are pampered, spoiled, adored and cherished.

[parsifal]

Maybe it was God's way of giving a puppy a new home. Best way I have found to say goodbye when losing a doggie is to make a new friend (or two). We got an dogpound pit bull when our yellow lab died and he never gave us much time to be sad. Best wishes. parsy, who is owned by a pit bull.

I'm very sorry about your loss. Oscar was priviledged tio have you as his caring owner. I have no doubt he loved you alot. Hopefully we'll see all our loved ones in heaven, pets too!

[spoiler2]

So sorry to read of your loss. I know, if you could, you would have snatched little Oscar from those jaws of death.

But, you still can, somewhat. Get down to your local animal pound tomorrow, or as soon as you can and help rescue another little innocent from an equally cruel fate.

I'm sure that among all those little pairs of eyes, looking up at you, you'll find a new soulmate that needs your help and love. Try it, you won't come home alone.....

Sorry to hear that. Start shooting those coyote's, and put a few of their heads on poles around the property.

If you can't deal with that, buy yourself a good high compression pellet gun, and let them know they aint welcome. Works every time.

He was my best friend in the whole world- his nickname was "Moleman"

There are no finer words, between dog and master. As Kipling said,

So why in Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

You know the answer. Best wishes to you.

Die you see any boxes with Acme printed on them lying around?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Sorry about your pet, they always add so much to living!

[MonroeDNA]

I feel for your loss. I've been there, losing my best friend, my lab.

The world turns upside down. I know.

Hang in there; you have friends here, too.

[DixieCapricorn]

My heart hurts over your loss. As hard as it is right now, think of the joys & fun times you two had & how blessed you were to have each other. Thinking of you with love & prayers.

[Howlin]

I am so sorry to hear this!

[snopercod]

Sorry about your Yorkie. They're great pets and friends. (We buried ours down by our stream with a little tombstone, picket fence and everything.)

I have heard the coyotes will carry off infants as well.

[cubreporter]

So sorry you lost your beloved pet. I will also say sorry for the crude post of one on this thread. You WILL be with your pet one day. You will see. Animals have souls unlike some humans.

[Darnright]

My heartfelt condolences. Blasted coyotes are really proliferating all over the US. They have made it to the East coast, and it's not unusual for them to attack and kill cats and toy dogs. My nephews' longhaired Dachsie almost got nailed by one of those stinkers, but fortunately my nephew was able to rescue the dog.

[shattered]

I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost a couple of my own over the last few years and it is very painful. Prayers for you and your family.

[CARepubGal]

My Yorkie and I send our sincere condolences to you. They are great little dogs with no sense of fear.

[gracex7]

Something needs to be done about the growing coyote problem around the country. We're seeing an increase here in West Michigan, even in very populated areas.

You have my sincere sympathies. I lost my Kyla (yellow lab/brit spaniel) ten years ago after having her for over 12 years. And 3 cats that were between the ages of 13 and 18. Yes, they're 'only pets', but what sweet companionship and comfort they can supply. The LORD knew what He was doing when He made dogs and cats.

[oceanperch]

I know having lost my ole girl a few years back.

I have my 8 and 11 year old labs left and they are my family (other thanmy son).

Dogs are so loving and they seem to stay about the age of a four year old kid.

The worst part is when you out of habit will see your passed on pooch out of the side of your eye then relize the awful reality.

I will keep you in my prayers special today from one dog lover to another.

[Aliska]

That's just awful! I'm so sorry this has happened.

[Texas Mom]

I would be sending a note to PETA.. I am so sorry to hear about your pet. I have a friend who lives in Big Bear and she said people just can't leave their pets outside, unattended, ever. Several neighbors just didn't get it until their pets were dragged off.
