Our little guy, Max, died tonight just hours ago. It all happened so suddenly, we are still in shock…
I let him out to the yard to “do his business” when Max spotted a coyote. Forgetting that he was a Maltese-Westie mix, he gave chase. What Max had no way of knowing was that another coyote was lying in wait. The two attacked before I could drive them away. I carried my brave little friend into the house, where he passed
ten minutes later from his injuries.
Max was a gentle, sweet-natured little buddy who loved eating, sitting in the sun, getting hugs, and cuddling with tiny stuffed animals
(his “babies”).
There is such a feeling of unreality about tonight.
We will miss him with all our hearts.
