Not looking good

After work yesterday, I stopped by to see if I could find the puppies. I flashed the light under every pile of rubble around, banged on the old tin roofing, crawled around in my work clothes, climbed behind the rubble and never a peep. Messed up my nice work slacks and got myself a 3 inch scratch on my leg for all my efforts...but no puppies. I'm pretty certain she's either (1) moved the puppies to some new location or (2) the puppies have died and she's abandoned this location...except to stop by and eat the canned food I leave. Let's hope it's possibility #1.

Drove around trying to find any other possible places she might stash the pups...nadda. Drove around the new neighborhoods and construction sites where I've seen her scrounging for food...no sighting of her.

This morning I called for her and put more canned food out, but haven't seen her or the Huntin' dog since before the Christmas weekend. They devoured the bag of kibble I left for the weekend, but they aren't so interested in the other dry food I'm leaving now (different brand). Picky strays?!
