• Dumping dogs

    From BOB ACKLEY@1:123/140 to ALL on Sat Aug 25 10:01:56 2018
    On Aug 6 I returned home to find a starving dog eating a dead bird that had been lying in my driveway for a couple of days. She'd obviously just had a litter of puppies. I fed her and set up a feeding station for her on my driveway. After about a week of hunting I found her den and brought her
    and her five puppies down to my place. She'd been walking about a mile
    each way to get to my feeding station.

    She's been at my place almost 2 weeks and, while she's still thin, isn't nearly as gaunt as she was when I first saw her. She's eating two dishes
    of dog food and about a gallon of water a day. The puppies appear to be
    fine.

    Mama is a bit smaller than a Labrador, with floppy ears like a beagle or basset. She's medium brown with a white chest and belly, white feet and
    tip of her tail and a white spot on her muzzle between her eyes

    At five weeks all five pups are doing fine and eating solid food, mama is gaining weight - at least she's not as skinny as she was.

    I expect to adopt the pups out via "People for Paws," an animal rescue
    group in Shenandoah, IA.
