WoW.....Amazing story.

If I would have been just a tad bit more responsible on IDing my baby. Ya know that old adage. it would never happen to me...I sure learned that isnt true. I have appt. with vet next week to get Puddles and Dozer Microed. Thanks Borziomom. Hopefully this will come true for me.

Last night I was in bed and heard a dog whining outside. I went downstairs and was looking and couldnt see. i knew it was beyond my fence.Just couldnt quite see where it was coming from. It was a weak whine and I swear I thought it was Digit. I leashed dozer and we went alooking. In the woods just to the side of my house we found a female pit mix having pups. I seen this dog a few weeks ago and saw that she was pregnant. i figured it belonged to a neighbor. Checked around this morning and noone knows who she belongs to. Got some more flyers to post today. for her and digit. She isnt liking us by her, I am leaving her be at the time being until I can really tell of her temperment. She ate some food this morning. Looks to be about 5 pups. What would you guys do for her?

Still praying for you and Digit.

As far as the pit mix goes maybe you should call animal control?

I did call the county shelter to report she was found. But I dont want them to pick her up. That shelter is nasty and they dont have alot of compassion there. There is a no kill shelter in another county but to get her there I would have to bring her myself because I live in other county. Working on borrowing a freinds van to get her there. Have a freind who has a dog catchers "leash" gonna try to get her and her babies there today. I think I could get her to come and leash her ok. She seems sweet but she has that head down and afraid look about her. Just dont wanna take no chances.

I keep praying that you will find Digit. I check this thread often and hope that someone returns her to you!

She's being overly protective because of the pups, but I know you know that. You could try to move her or the puppies now, but she might object, strongly. In fact, I don't think she'd let you near them right now. A friend of mine cares for a colony of feral cats and for the first week or two after one has kittens, she has to be very careful when putting food in the shelter the mom has chosen otherwise she'll get nailed. And these are with cats that she's been around for years. They will usually climb all over her. When there's babies involved, all bets are off.

Unless you can somehow lure her away from the pups then collect them, but I don't think that will happen right now. You could always contact the no kill shelter. They might have a proven method and be able to advise you better. Right now, just keep feeding Mom so she can keep her strength up and feed the pups. I would probably contact the no kill shelter asap to see what they say since she might move the babies soon. Does that make any sense?

We got the dog! Easy as pie. Went out to give her food and she wagged her tail and came out the bushes. Came up to me and let me pet her. Dozer started barking from his kennel and she went back in. Couple hours later. Went out there with the leash. she came out. let me collar her and let me tie her to a tree..Wasnt really happy about that, but ok. Got pups and put them in backseat of truck. she willingly got in. Drove her to a friends house. he was going with me to the shelter.. talked hisself into keeping her on the way. told me he will foster her till someone claims her. If not he will find homes for pups and keep her. Well hows that, Sure made my day. Thanks again Renoman!!

Awesome! Happy to hear it all worked out ok.

[digits mama]

I went today and collected the supplies for tommorrows carwash. One of the local auto parts stores where i bought the carwash donated 10 bottles of carwash stuff, some chamois cloths and some sponges. I go in there all the time for business and they was really nice to have done that for me. In fact one of the salesmens wives is volunteering some of her time tommorrow. We have 11 people on board for tommorrow. Maybe more! My dad is coming here to cook a Jambalya for the help we get. With all the fixins. It is really nice to see so many people still helping me. But I have had some eyerolls and some "this is the last time" snarky remarks. oh well...poo on them. I have a few employees saying theyll come as long as my girlfriends are in bikinis. I think some of them are planning that for the advertisement anyways. So I hope to have more people. Someone told me that if I go for advertising for free carwashs. I am gonna be busy. Exactly what I hope will happen!

Yall have a wonderful day!

[Renoman]

If I leave right now, I think I can make by Tuesday. Is that too late to get my car washed???


good luck. I hope you gave a huge turnout in both help and customers.

[digits mama]

[Renoman]

Ok, look for me about noontime Tuesday. This is me leaving right now......

[digits mama]

Drive Carefully! Theres crazy people out there.

[Renoman]

crazy people you say??? No, I don't believe it.

Best of luck with the car wash. Let us know how it turns out ok?

[digits mama]

LOL I wasnt talking about you silly! I hope you know that! I tell everyone that before they leave on a long trip such as yours!! In other words be very very careful!

goodness gracious..

[Renoman]

I knew exactly what you were talking about. Dont' worry about it.

Hey All..

Today was great, Had a blast! Freind of mine had a large poster made up of Digit and it was at the corner of a busy intersection. The gas station owner provided drinks for all of us and my dad did some down home cooking. We had initally 23 people show up and ended up with 37 people by the end of the day. Also, we had a young lady show up who is missing her pet and we asked that some people put her missing dog posters in the window. It was a fun time. And everyone said a prayer at the end for our dogs. The deal was for them to put one in their car window and to post one. Some people took more than one to post elsewhere. I saw quite a few on my way home. we ended up washing 84 cars and trucks. I am hoping this will get some locals to see them and bring my Digit home. Hopefully he will be home by his birthday which is August 2nd. Some folks donated money which was never asked for. But we ended up donating that to the scouts. those guys and gals have done so much. So now. I am still hunting the streets and feilds. Still doing drives around all the areas he was sighted. And praying everyday.

My computer problem went away...think it is my stinkin-rotten dial-up connection.

We are still here for you and Digit. We will check in everyday to see what is up.

[Renoman]

I am so glad you had a successful day. Just think... if 84 people drove off with posters on their windows, and put posters in other places......wow, that's alot of coverage. Something good has to come from this.

Still wearing our party hats... patiently awaiting Digit's return... this is me with fingers crossed............

Digit'sMom, you have become an expert networker. New tentacles have to be growing long in new directions from your latest event, the carwash. Go, Girl.
