PUPPIES FOUND! I can't believe it worked! I picked a stray momma dog up on Saturday.

She was destined to be ran over if I left here there. She kept weaving between the cars, looking as if she was lost. She was painfully skinny.

I took her to the vet on Tuesday hoping she was still pregnant. She wasn't. She ALREADY had puppies and they were out there somewhere. On the advice of Dr. Stacey Swain Hendershott I took the momma dog back to where I found her and let her lead me to the puppies.
