OMG This Homeless Little Girl is Breaking My Heart

[joyce evans]

Little Lola (Lulu if you ask my husband) is doing just fine. No puppies yet but she is close. Man has she turned out to be such a little angel. The only time she makes a sound is when I put her in my mother-in-laws fenced in yard so she can potty. She does'nt want me to leave her. I've noticed that she will not pooh in her crate or on a leash so I have to allow her some time to do her thing. Her first night with me I did leave her in my shop office so I would'nt get fleas in my home but Saturday night she stayed in her crate in my house. For a street dog I am amazed that she's not having fits in that crate. She doesn't like it but doesn't complain. I had a issue yesterday here at work and had to come in so I left her at home (I hated too). Today I made a decision to leave her in the fenced in yard because I do not want her to have to hold her bladder all day especially being pregnant. There is so much more to say about her but my time is limited. Have some really cute pictures of her after I cleaned her up. Wish I knew how to attach them???

Hope she cannot dig out....plus we have storms today. Pups get scared and dig out of their yards. Also, what if she has puppies outside...eeek
I would not leave her in the yard. Either put her in a room or an x-pen ... put pee pads in for her. If she has to go, she will.

I guess you opted not to contact Pup Squad?

I tried to type a response to you Linda but I guess I took too long and YT went down while I was typing. Just wanted you to know that I read your post and will rearrange animals and put Lola in the Ex-Pen like you said.
Hannah might not like that too much but hey what is a mom to do.

You're doing such a wonderful job. I can't wait to see pictures!!!!

I did contact Pup Squad but they are closed until Sept. 1. No intake. I filled out the intake form and foster form but nothing yet.

Joyce, I just want to say I'm so inspired by your bravery yesterday and today. Watching this thread unfold - it has touched me. Thank you.

Awe! Thank you! Everyone on this site has been so supportive. I wish I had time to respond to each and everyone! This has been hard because there are so many decisions to make and so many things to take into consideration. Lola/Lulu will be fine. My life was already chaotic with 6 dogs one being a Yorkie but we will make it through. I know I can count on members here when I don't know what to do.

UGH...I can see not taking any in, but to not respond? Oh, what can I say? I wish I had a solution for you...you are going to have a lot of pups soon.

Well my dang e-mail is on the blink so if they did respond via e-mail I'm not able to get it. My phone numbers are on the forms I filled out but no calls. Thanks for the eek, tongue and wink Linda. You are too kind! LOL!

Well, I'm going to call her "Lula" from now on. I'm so so glad that she has someone to take care of her. What an angel you are! I know you have a lot going on, but thank you so much for keeping us updated. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well with her puppies & that Lula stays strong and healthy.

And because I'm so nosy...just wondering if you've heard from the family across the street from your job. Have they been looking for her at all? Or do they shoot you evil looks from across the street?

Oh Joyce, I am glad things worked out so well. She was so precious looking in the picture you posted...must have been her sweet personality showing through. She knows you are there to help her...and that you are her angel. Looking forward to the pix...

What a great thread! I'm so happy Lola Lulu was rescued by such a caring person.

Nothing from them at all. I've been watching to see if they look for her or try to call her. I really don't care about them and dare them to approach me now. All this little girl needed is some love & care. She is very happy and sticks close to me.

What an angel you are!

Lola has 11:30 vet appt. for check up today. I will find out more about her; approx. age, breed, health condition and more on these pups. I know she is getting close but not sure how close. I think within 10 days. My hands stay on her belly checking for movement and I can swear I'm feeling something. Her belly is getting tighter and milk dropping. Gonna get her nails trimmed as well. I can't understand why they are so long after walking on the pavement like she did. I will hopefully feel better after her check up. I am really getting attached to her!!! I hope that my noisy dogs don't teach her their habits because she is so good!!! Will update when we get back...
