Be patient Beth, I know for a fact that a couple of woman are working on it. Any chance of you getting a picture of them with your cell phone? If the rescue can't trap them, then they may have to call AC to use a catch pole. Horrible as it sounds, getting hit on the street could be much worse, since no one will want to pay for their Vetting and then they will just suffer, and if the workers stop feeding and watering them, that too is worse then being in the shelter. The lesser of two evils....

When I ride my horse I see them all the time. They don't run, they just watch. I once saw a pack of pups, in a wash, I rode up on them and surprised them, as they did me! I kept on going, cause I am sure mama was around and I didn't want to take any chances. Also mountain lions too. I use to ride way up in the hills alone years ago, but after that one lady was attacked on her bike, I don't go back that far anymore alone. Yes I got to the dr. appt okay. Had a long wait once I got there. I was hoping to get in and out and have some time to get more done at home.. I didn't have a chance to check on the parking lot dog, but on my way back from lunch I drove by the building, and sure enough mama dog was heading around the corner from the lot next door back in to the lot they are living in. I don't know if the workers are feeding them, there not skin and bones like Vida was. I have time to go give them more food and water after work today. I am guessing mama has been on her own for a while as she is active around the area, just doesn't stay in the lot they are living in. I hope someone can get them off the streets. I don't want to call animal control cause I know they both would be put down cause there not the cute little chi's.. I am doing what I can do to help. I do wish I could do more, but financially am at my limit, and can't risk taking them home. I truly don t think this mama dog would stay in my yard. I think she would try and escape. I don't think any of the rescues are gonna help?

I hate to read the sad, heartbreaking stories when a doggie or kitty dies from a health problem, but protecting from predators is something we can do something about. The bird stories are awful enough... Hope so much you made it in time to your drs appt, Beth, and thanks so much to you girls -- such a wonderful job attempting between the two of you to try to save those little chis in the parking lot, thank so much from the bottom of my heart from all of us animal lovers out there that are not as resourceful as people like you two girls. I've just been on pins and needles reading your posts back and forth and the gallant efforts you are both putting forth, hope so much you are successful. There sure does seem to be a direct link to you and all the chis that keep coming in your life Beth...Someone has taken note of your deep empathy and compassion for the little punkins. I hope your chickies DO start laying those golden eggs so you can save even more, chis, that is. Lynn n a message dated 5/4/2011 4:24:00 P.M.

Now the coyotes are another story, They have attack people here in CA. They have know problem jumping a 5ft fence to get at small animals in their own yards! Okay got to go!! Dr. Appt eek! hate going.. Beth
