Hairy is Gone

It happened in a split second. She stood no chance and being good around dogs did not sense the danger in time. Being gentile and having no claws for defense she stood no chance posed no challenge at all. I was just too slow to intervene.

I couldn't move fast enough to save her from 2 pit bulls. Perhaps that's all I should say tonight. I am more angry at the stupidity of all of this. This sadness will be taking a heavy toll, especially coming on the heels of the loss of Blackie.

She will be dearly remembered and missed ever so much. I've never known such a dear pet friend and doubt anyone could ever take her place. And I say this from owning different pets through my life. She was a rare find and I hope there is a form of heaven for her and my old sweet Blackie and a hell for those dogs.

These dogs are a menace to the neighborhood but are owned and well fed by some fool who lets them roam loose. That's what makes it harder to take. Those dogs should have been dealt with long ago as this is not their first instance of trouble.

I could graphically describe what the dogs did, but probably won't for the sake of any children who may happen to read this blog. Needless to say this is a dark day and would never have happened had Hairy not so loved sitting outside. But I guess in life there is really no such thing as being safe outside your front door.
