Subject: Goodbye Saw
With many tears, we said our goodbyes to our dear Saw (international multi ch. Saw). January 24, 2002- February 22, 2011. Saw was the foundation ***** for our Kennel.
Saw had eaten a nice dinner, only to be woken up by coyotes who tried entering the kennel (scratching on the kennel door) in the middle of the night (after the new litter of pups). Saw did her job by barking her head off- as did everyone else here, but Saw succumbed to bloat(a classic case-she didn't help by jumping up with front paws on the door, having such a wide chest etc...) in the process. Her voice had eakened when I realized something must be wrong- but it was too late. So sad when they are perfectly healthy and full of life one minute and then taken the next.
The revenge came the early the next day when Mei and Ba took off through the back woods, across the frozen river, literally to the next county and found the coyote hunters who were behind the house and shot 4 of the coyotes. The hunters thought Ba and Mei were heroes. I was scared to death for them (they were found at destination of coyotes at dusk)- today it is back to peace and quiet. I don't know how settlers made out here....
