My little Woofy

Woofy and the coyote

Sept 19th 2008, I went out to potty. I was grabbed by the throat by a coyote and taken out of my yard. I couldn't scream or cry because he had my throat and it was closing my airway. He lost his grip but clamped down again on my mouth and just above my right eye. I struggled and he again lost his grip but got me again by the back. Somehow i got loose again and this time i ran like the wind. I kept running until i couldn't run anymore. I found shelter and crawled in for the night. I can't hear anything because there is blood in my ears and i have bloody punctures all over my body, i hurt but am very quiet so he won't hear me. My Mommy is trying to find me i know but i can't hear her call and i know i'm in shock too. It's morning, i am safe but i don't know which way to go. I have never been out before. I am a rescue dog that spent all of my 4 years in a cage having babies for the mean man. I don't know what a car can do to me, i don't know what mean things there is out here. But i am smart, i will find Mommy somehow. I have run all day and i am in pain. Some people tried to catch me but i got away. Its another night, i must hide again. I have run for days now, i am lost and soon i will be dead, for i have a high fever and my throat is infected and swelling so i can't breath. I think i saw my human sister a few days ago but i was so feverish i ran from her and she was crying. I have been out here for 11 days now and i can't go on. I am crawling into a planter in the mud to die. I see a little girl looking at me and a man has come out. They have put water down for me but i can't drink, my throat is almost shut now. I'm looking at them, saying, "please call my Mommy, i want to see her again". I see a woman coming, she is saying something about a poster she has seen all over the place and she will get the number and call! I can't pick my head up anymore, i feel like sleeping now... I feel her arms around me and wet tears are falling on me. I can't hear her but i smell my Mommy, finally, i am safe. I am at the doctors and they are making me feel better but Mommy has gone! Oh there she is but her cheeks are still wet, she picks me up and i am all warm and fuzzy inside. We are going home! Mommy says i am the toughest, bravest, best dog that ever walked the earth! Woof Woofers!

This is Woofy's Mommy, I can't say enough about the importance of coyote barriers. They are rollers that you put on top of your wall, so when the thing tries to get a grip at the top, to pull itself over the wall, he just rolls right back down. No baby should have to go through what Woofy has gone through. Please, make your yard safe for your babies.

My little Woofy has comforted me so much this past two months. She has kept me from going into total depression over losing Buffy. Before she came to me, i cried daily, no, i sobbed deeply all the time. It was a very tramatic time for me and Woofy really just took me over and kept me busy with her and Kiki. She wouldn't let up until i bathed her, fed her, and rocked her. She can be very convincing and a nag at times. But she kept me sane through it all. Oh yes, i still cry and always will, for Buffy was really somthin in my book. She completely took my heart. But i'll tell you somthin, Woofy and Kiki are hot on Buffy's heels. When Woofy is excited and happy, she grins at me. No lie! Her top lip, just on one side, lifts up and her teeth show and she is grinning! She also has one tooth missing, so its extra funny looking. We are trying to learn to walk on a leash, so far she says "NO". More to come I am sure!
