Today, I came home to find a note on my door from the neighbor saying, "I saw a coyote eat your dog, but was afraid it was rabid." FML

Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML
Today, a coyote turned up in the yard where my son and his friend were playing. It was aggressive and foaming at the mouth, so I called the boys inside, and shot it. Now my wife is scared of me and half the neighborhood wants me gone for "dangerous behavior." FML
Today, I stepped into a pile of dog shit on my doorstep, along with a note saying, "Keep your dog out of my yard." I don't own a dog. FML
Today, I walked into the kitchen and saw a note my roomate posted. As I got close to read it I was attacked by a very pissed off cat. The note said "Left window open last night, stray cat got in. Watch out he isn't friendly." FML
Today, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, I got home from work and found my dog missing. When I asked my neighbor if she saw what happened, I saw my dog sleeping on her couch. She tried to say it was hers. FML
Today, I looked out the window just in time to see a coyote carrying off my cat that I had just let outside five minutes before. FML
Today, I walked outside to see my boyfriend standing on my porch, looking confused. He explained to me that he had attached a prom proposal note to his pet rabbit, and let it inside my house to find me. We went looking for said rabbit, and found my dog halfway through eating it. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, after being convinced that my cat had worms due to eating so much food and still looking really skinny, I found out that my neighbor secretly lets his dog in through my pet door while I'm at work. FML

Am I the only one wondering why his dog was left out alone and unmonitored in an area that has coyotes? I mean, this is a true FML and I do feel for the poster. However, the way it was worded makes me believe no one else lived with the poster to see/prevent this from happening and in which case...why would your dog be outside?

Some people have outside dogs? Coyotes can and do occasionally venture into towns. Perhaps ops dog was on a running line or somehow got out of their fence? Personally, my dogs are outside dogs. They have a fenced in yard and dog houses. They do get out every now and then, by no fault of mine. They're just crafty.

You gotta think of the variables...because it's likely that OP lives outside of town, on a farm?? Not everyone lives in the city.

I am thinking about variables, I've lived in the country with a dog before too and it takes more responsibility and a watchful eye to care for them. You have to factor in wild animals, cows, speeding trucks around poorly lit winding roads. It's especially important to keep your dog in a safe, contained space while you're at work or out of the house when you live in the country.

I will personally hunt that coyote down and feed it to a lion

I live in Colorado and had one follow me for about a mile when i was walking my small 15lb dog. It was parallel to us and about 15 feet away the entire time. He was probably hoping my dog got off leash and he'd snatch her up.

Awe that is so horrible! I am really sorry about the loss of your family member! But at least you won't what happened to your fur baby! :(

I'm very sorry for your loss, but the worst part is, this could have been prevented. Small animals shouldn't be left alone outside like that. I'm guessing your yard isn't fenced in. Next time get a bigger dog, or keep it in the house unless you're outside with it. My dog is 135lbs. I don't have this problem.

Doesn't matter if its a big dog. Sometimes coyotes hunt in packs like wolves do. Especially if there is a large animal involved. Not common, but it happens.

Well? Did you find that ******?

Wow, this is a new one. Where the heck do you live that coyotes live in your backyard. Poor dog. I do agree with Ugi #24. Should get your a neighbor a gun if they are out watching all the time. This way they can kill the next one that comes along after your next dog and you can eat it as retribution for your last dog. Sorry OP.

93- most like Arizona? That's where I am and we have a lot of coyotes around. Any lost pet is usually shrugged off as coyote food down here.
