thank you so much, I can certainly try to raise funds, I had alot of help from my community before I pulled the moms and made my decision based on the percentage of people willing to help and determined that even if only half of them came thru it was doable.  I got lots of donations of blankets and towels and newspapers and canned food and kibble for the ensuing litters.  But I had to do all the work alone cause they are feral.  County officials upset me greatly when I went to pull another mom with pups for another group off the e list they told me because I asked for help with the two feral moms that I couldnt save anymore moms n pups cause I am supposed to be able to do it on my own.  Well let me tell you what hit that fan!  First off people offered the help so when they all wanted to know what I needed I made a public list.  I could not have done it without them.  I made my decision based on the offers of help.  I might not have alot of cash but one thing I do have is time and that is why most moms n pups perish cause no one has the time commitment, I would think for the shelter not having to be under the radar for euthanizing two pregger moms and the fact that they are already under fire by other rescue groups and these groups are calling for reform and resignation that I did them a big favor, but instead all I got was grief. Thats fine tho there are plenty of other shelters in the area that need help.  

So when the time comes I will rally for help again and see if I can get some vets to help, Im pretty well known in these parts and have had help in past from great Vets so Im going to keep a good attitude on that front and besides see her pic?  How cute is she?  Who can not help that cute lil girl?  My "Peg"gy Sue u u......  I still cant figure out how to post pics here not sure what the Source Box is implying?  Thanks all I feel empowered now and when I have time will look at all the resources and links avail here.

Hello all, 

So Peg is just getting better and better as she grows up.  She is now 8 weeks old, potty training is going well, she quickly switched from pottying on rugs n blankets to a potty box.  I take corregated plastic (ie:voter signs) and make a box by having sides raised and put shredded paper in it.  All 9 pups out in the nursery have been using it so well that i can also have a rug down in their kennel now and they do not potty on it.  I did have to cut out center one side of box so she can easily walk in and out of it, she has tried a couple times to step over it but thinking because she gives up and goes to opening that its not comfortable for her to try to jump things.  Its only raised 2-3 inches on entrance side so I cut it from center for about a foot opening.

She can sit pretty now and wave her only front paw at us, she get soooo excited when we hold her and she is just a huge bundle of energy, she will give you kisses for as long as you will hold her in front of your face.....all the pups from this litter are very quiet they only make noise when they are playing.  She is now eating dry kibble too, but ughy keeps sitting in the water crock messing up the clean fresh water, but before ughy would grab the water bowls and drag and dump em even while peg was drinking.  Bad Bad Ughy!

I am trying to write a letter to Best Friends Admissions in Utah in hopes of getting them to take one of the feral moms off my hands so if anyone on here has a good relationship with them maybe you could give me some pointers on best way to be successful in getting my request considered.  I am part of a non profit rescue group, and i am willing to take adoptable dogs or puppies from them and place in the valley if they would just take one of them.

I cant find anyone to take one of them off my hands and i cannot rehab them together and I am not set up to keep two feral dogs in separate places here.  I know I can rehab either one of them with time but I cannot do it with them together.  

So Peg has improved her balance, but she sometimes gets to hoppin around and jumpin and its kinda like whoa whoa whoaaaaaaa plop, flip, splat...lol  she is very very cute with just a pinch of evil and a whole lotta love.  She is afraid of the shop vacc and today her and ughy busted out of their enclosure and I hear all this banging goin on and my other feral dog Skittles is at end of my hallway looking down to the living room and back at me like "they are not mine, I didnt do it, and you better come do something about them"  So the bang was the broom hitting the ground and the rattle was them running into my metal rooster when they fled from the falling broom and there they are in the kitchen like "WHA?"  

Peg's got an interested adopter whom resides in Kanab so here is hoping that Best Friends says YES, Peg's new family says YES and it will be an effective trip!  Luckily I live in Phoenix and love the drive to Kanab thru the painted desert.
