Stella Bella Survives Coyote Attack!!!

To all my avid readers who are anxiously awaiting this post, Stella is recovering very well from the coyote attack and it won't be long before she is back to good, old self!  This whole tragedy turned miracle has really taken us for a spin but we are so incredibly happy and lucky to have our dog back!
The vet at Cambridge Animal Hospital described her situation as the "luckiest dog in the world" as there could have been a series in moments gone wrong -- but thankfully, they didn't. (i.e. coyote could have kept running and not have dropped her, he could have killed her on the first bite which is usually the case with these animals and small prey, ironically the bite marks were just surrounding her vital organs and if they were 1mm to the right or left, things would not have turned out as miraculously as they did). If you have any questions or want more details, please email me as I don't want to paint too much negativity into this happy, positive post!

Currently, Stella is in amazing spirits, a little sore but still able to throw in a game of fetch with her sister (our daughter), Maya!  She shows no signs (so far) of recollection of the tragic event and ready and willing to eat anything available to her. She is tougher than all of us!
We are SO lucky and really feel like Stella was given a new life!  Thank you to all our caring and supportive family and friends who have helped us get through this difficult time...it will not be forgotten :) xo
