Ah! I am sorry to read the update about the small brave one. Surely he is looking down grinning from Valhalla, quite pleased with his final battle and relieved that his chickens are safe.
I'm so sorry that this guy couldn't win his last fight in surgery. Just know that he was so happy to take care of his own and make you proud.
I wish him safe passage across the rainbow bridge.
God Bless
I'm so sorry to hear about your little dog. I'm surprised the coyote left him. They consider little dogs & cats just another chicken. That was a brave boy you had there. We always go with & watch for trouble. Coyotes have walked by the house. They're dangerous to anything small. They've bitten children walking in the nature trail areas down here.
