Puppy Saga

This week we had a stray dog deliver pups in my dog's doghouse, effectively kicking him out of it! This is momma dog with a pup at her elbow.

Animal Control tried to get her, and I found out later at least 3 of my neighbors had also called about her over the past months, but after tranquilizing her, she refused to come out of the doghouse.

Though we made arrangements to have her picked up Saturday (today), when that tranq wore off, she was mighty protective. She was scaring the neighbor kids, so a neighbor called Animal Control again and they came out and shot her.

At that time 2 pups were still alive. The cold temps and her lack of milk because she was starving did in the rest of her litter. I fed them and helped them use the bathroom, and my husband was able to get a lady from the shelter out to pick them up the next day.

I hope they live, are cared for, and loved. Best Wishes pups!
