Well, apparently we are in the dog food business now.
Good news: the two girls we thought needed to be spayed are done and doing well. The story of our rather eventful Sunday is here:

Then we discovered there is another girl. And, of course, the puppies.
But here's what I didn't fully understand before: these aren't our neighbor's dogs. Someone nearby keeps getting dogs and doesn't adequately feed or care for them. Our neighbor doesn't have much money. She simply can't watch them go hungry.
She could say, "They're not my dogs."
I could say the same.
So could you.
Then we would have established, quite successfully, that these dogs belong to nobody.
Except they're still hungry.
So I'm going to buy a metal container to keep food safe at her place. *If you'd like to throw $5 or $10 into the dog-food pot, call the office, send a check, or hand us a few dollars when you're here. We'll absorb the card fee.*
No guilt. No sad-puppy propaganda. 😄
Just a whole bunch of us feeding them a little.
Two dogs, one surprise, and a Sunday that got away from us
