Ok, so Tucker and I are out front of my house playing in what little yard we have. I have seen some dogs around my house for the past couple weeks now. Obviously one of them had had puppies recently, but I had never seen one of them...until today. The mommy and puppy come trotting right up to us and of course I just go crazy over the puppy. I give the mommy and the puppy a little treat (because I can't stand the thought that they might be hungry) and then figure they will go home, but the mommy just runs off. I'm not sure what she heard or saw, but she just leaves her little baby boy on my doorstep! I think he must be old enough to be weened because he would try to nurse and she wouldn't let him. He also ate some dry dog food without any problem....It's just killing me! I can't believe his mom would just leave him! I've been watching for her all night to come back and I spotted her once down the street. I walked the puppy down to her and sat him down, but she ran off again and the puppy clung to my leg, not even trying to follow her.

My problem is I don't have a yard to keep him in. I live in a townhouse that allows small pets, but I don't know if he will be small for long. He's probably not going to be huge - the mom looked like a lab/beagle mix or something...she's solid black like a lab, but smaller. The puppy is a brindle color and looks a lot like his mom except for the color.

If anyone is close to Williamsburg, London, Richmond, or Lexington, KY and wants a puppy, please get in touch with me. I've made him a bed on my back patio and he's sleeping soundly there.

I so wish I had a huge yard to keep him in...he's such a sweetie!
