goddess ISIS (OP) User ID: 942881 Indonesia 04/14/2010 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If I show interest in the dogs..some "street handlers" or "peddlers" might manipulate the situation to make money and try to make me "pay" some money to take the dogs from the street, to get their "permission" sort of. How to deal with that? I need advice regarding this. |

Returner User ID: 997 United States 04/14/2010 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the puppies are old enough to eat solid food, clean water and dry food is better than milk. If they're not, I think you're still better off feeding the mother dog, which will help her in turn feed them. Do NOT feed them anything that contains chocolate or raisins. Both are dealy to dogs. You're a wonderful person for caring about these poor dogs! |

Lil Miss Trouble User ID: 601435 United States 04/14/2010 11:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most dogs cannot properly digest cows milk, and drinking it may result is diarrhea/vomit ting. Remember that for animals, milk is food, not drink. If you do have a reason that you want to give your dog milk, it is suggested that you give goats milk. I'm assuming you mean milk for the puppies? The mom should be able to feed them as long as she is being fed. Be very careful around a dog you don't know and it's babies, I wouldn't want you to get hurt because she thinks you are trying to take them. |

Quoting: goddess ISIS 942881Most will end up with euthanasia! Well that is disheartening. Surely these dogs have been delivered to you for a reason, no? I love animals, wish we could all live in harmony together. Milk will be fine for the puppies as long as the Mother is not overprotective of them, in which case they should just get the milk from her. You can leave food for them as well. Dry food mixed with wet food is best. Individual bowls also, because dogs will try to dominate and take food for themselves. Make sure you watch them eat to make sure they all get and others don't dominate. Watch dog whisperer online (youtube probably has some vids), it is a great show you can learn so much about dog psychology from watching. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 823361 United States 04/14/2010 11:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Agree with a few other posters. No milk. The puppies will get milk from their mother if she in turn eats herself. Food and water should be sufficient. If you want, and have the ability to take them in, then do so. But consider what you would do with them all once the puppies are old enough. Good luck, and you have a big heart !!! |

I hope they are okay and nobody throw stones at them. Please help me, GLP : - Send POSITIVE THOUGHTS, HEALING LIGHT & ENERGY to Mama Dog & her 3 puppies. - Send PROTECTION THOUGHTS surrounding them - Pray that they will not be separated from each other. Please do it together with me. This really mean so much to me. "It is time for you to make a conscious effort to change your attitudes towards the animal kingdom. It is time to see all of them as divine expressions of All That Is, each one a creation of spirit. Look at a bird and send a message of love and thanks to all the birds. Look at a dog and convey your thanks for the loyal help of dogs since mankind's history began. Give thanks to the spiders in your home and the squirrels in the tree. They all serve the Creator in some way just as you do. They have a right to life, love and fulfillment in their own fashion just as you do." Good excerpt from : [link to www.awakening-healing.com] |

Quoting: Returner 997They might be able to help. If you had photos of the dogs, that might be a good way to generate interest (and sympathy). Also will check with shelters/dog rescue here..have to make sure that the shelter will not euthanize them/separate the mother from puppies. I'm home now but my mind is with them. |

Tomorrow will bring food and water for them. Will also try to take pictures of mamma dog & 3 puppies. Then contact a shelter. I don't want them to die on the street (because of stone throwing abuse) or end up being sold to a Lapo (special restaurant that serve dog meat as cuisine) |
