On Aug 6 I returned home to find a starving dog eating a dead bird that had been lying in my driveway for a couple of days. She'd obviously just had a litter of puppies. I fed her and set up a feeding station for her on my driveway. After about a week of hunting I found her den and brought her
and her five puppies down to my place. She'd been walking about a mile
each way to get to my feeding station.

She's been at my place almost 2 weeks and, while she's still thin, isn't nearly as gaunt as she was when I first saw her. She's eating two dishes
of dog food and about a gallon of water a day. The puppies appear to be
fine.

Mama is a bit smaller than a Labrador, with floppy ears like a beagle or basset. She's medium brown with a white chest and belly, white feet and
tip of her tail and a white spot on her muzzle between her eyes

At five weeks all five pups are doing fine and eating solid food, mama is gaining weight - at least she's not as skinny as she was.

I expect to adopt the pups out via "People for Paws," an animal rescue
group in Shenandoah, IA.
