    Riley has been gone almost 1year 9 mos. I still cry my heart is still broken for him he was my soulmate and I can’t stand the pain that coyote must have caused him. I have his little brother he is 3 years Riley’s junior and I love him to the moon and back but Jesse is not Riley. I’m sobbing as I’m writing this. I pray every night for the lord to keep my baby by his side. He was only 3.

    • Elaine, a terrible thing happened and you are undoubtedly still traumatized. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be. We don’t know what happened but we do know most animals kill quickly – it’s not a game for them like a cat playing with a mouse. It’s tough to have domestic pets when there are predators around. I lost a dearly beloved cat that way. It’s just horrific. I hope you find solace with Jesse – he needs you, too. The holidays stir deep emotions, too, so stay with us and feel safe sharing your feelings. We understand and care, and are here for you. Join our group meeting Nov. 17th at 8 PM Eastern – you’ll find kind, caring friends there. I am so, so sorry, Elaine. Toni

      I have a new yorkie to help with the loss if my Riley. Jesse us 25 weeks old. Same mom and dad as Riley. He will not replace Riley in my heart but he definitely has his own place.
      • How wonderful, Elaine. You are right-Jesse has his own place in your life, home and heart. It’s kind and generous of you to welcome him :-). Keep us updated.

        RILEY WAS ONLY 3YRS4MOS OLD . YORKSHIRE TERRIER . We were only together for 2.5 yes. But it seemed like a lifetime. He will always be # 1 in my heart…when I get to Colorado I will be sending for his little brother (same mom and dad just different litter) little Jesse is 11 weeks old..he will never take Rileys place but I hope he will fill the void

          I still cannot accept that he is gone…we are moving to CO and its so hard knowing I have to leave him in Cali. even though its only his spirit..I am going to make a garden dedicated to my Riley….I love him so much

          • Elaine, welcome to Colorado. Animals are very special and important here (and everywhere), and your loving spirit will be embraced. When you get here, let me know, and I may be able to introduce you to a shelter or rescue near you. I’ll put my phone number below. What a proud and handsome fellow Riley was. What breed? How old? How long were you together? A memorial garden is a lovely and loving idea. I think you will find much comfort, and joy, from that. Please, be in touch and know we are here for you, Elaine.

              I try but I loved him so much I cant stand the thought of him being hurt and wondering why I wasnt helping him. My heart is in a million pieces

                I believe it was a coyote..I cant stop crying. My poor baby
                  • Oh no. That is just awful. Keep crying, Elaine – it’s okay, and very understandable. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Is there something you can do to take your attention for a bit each day?
