Thank you to all of the kind Lincoln neighbors who sent positive healing
thoughts for our little dog Maisy after her attack by coyotes last night. We
can't say enough good things about the professional, caring veterinary
surgeons, doctors and nurses at Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital in
Woburn. After almost five hours of surgery, they were able to repair the
damage. She looks a bit like Frankenstein with drains and lots of sutures, but
she has a good prognosis. There will be a recovery period, but we are very
grateful today.
I know we are changing our relaxed nighttime routine for our dogs and encourage
other Lincolnites to take care with their pets, particularly at night.
I always knew I lived in a kind community and the many emails of support and
well-wishes today really helped me as we waited for word of the outcome.
Take care,
Pauline

I’m so sorry to hear about your pup. I hope he is ok💕
Even those of us with giant breeds like us, with a 150 pound Newfie, need to
remember that although a large dog can pretty easily take out 1 coyote, a pack
of coyotes can easily kill a large dog.

Pauline,I am so sorry to hear that your fur baby is at MVRH. They are so
capable there, and I wish you the best outcome for your beloved pet.
Also as a reminder, I saw 2 very large (german shepherd sized) coyotes running
down Tower Road just last week, around 8pm. Right down the middle of the
Road.They are very vocal here around 83 Tower Road, as we are sandwiched
between the Harrington Conservation land/Beaver Pond area and the Conservation
parcel between Tower and Todd Pond Rd. I keep my somewhat deaf, mildly
mobility challenged, senior pet on a leash now at all times in my yard.
Sending your family healing thoughts from one fur baby mom, to another.Kellie

Good evening.
We have just returned from the emergency veterinary hospital in Woburn, having
left our 7 year old Jack Russell Terrior in their intensive care awaiting
emergency surgery after an attack by a pack of coyotes in our yard this
evening. I just want to remind pet owners, after having been forcefully
reminded myself, that wild animals can and do attack beloved pets. Please be
careful with your much loved animals. Terrible things can happen very quickly.
