Beth I am on pins and needles......I just sent you a private email, The ladies are on there way to get the dogs. It is almost 5pm your time and they are about 30 minutes from where the dogs are. It would be so great if you could get there too. I hope the gates aren't closed. They even have a foster ready and waiting for 1 week and then another Foster is lined up for the following week until they find them forever homes.
I also left you a phone message and spoke to them too. YAH YOO I can't believe that all of this is happening while I am so far away!! It's wonderful... and when you see these ladies ...please give them a BIG NY HUG FOR ME!!! Peggy PS I use a different email address with the rescues, so if they should mention it....then it is me! -------Original Message------- From: Beth Michl Date: 5/5/2011 4:37:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Parking lot chis Okay Peggy, Yes I can try right after work to see if I can get a picture. I think if the women or who ever can help goes early in the morning, when I stopped by yesterday morning and the workers were there, the dogs were wagging there tails, so they are use too them. If they come with food, I think it will be easier. They close and lock the gate by the time I can get over ther after work, so going in the evening isn't good. The men that work there said they tried to give them away. I am assuming it was too the business next door to me. If the gate is closed I can't get to the dishes I left for food and water.

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
