That first post was over a month ago. The dog apparently had puppies some weeks ago, but OP has never seen them. The dog mostly lives with her owners, but visits OP on occasion. And just to make it more interesting, OP got a broken elbow recently.

I think that's why Sulky Bantam asked about milk--it can give some idea of whether she's still feeding puppies. If the puppies are doing well, then the mother is constantly making milk, and the puppies drink it up frequently. So you would expect to find a small amount of milk most times you...

Do they come out at all? I know someone with permanent plates & screws--been there for a dozen years so far, expected to be there forever.

I know you want to see her, and I know you're worried about her, but the best thing for a "good" owner to do would be to keep her with her pups--and that may be what her owners are doing. In which case they ARE doing something right.

Moving all the pups would probably be fine (as long as her owner doesn't mind), but I'd be worried that she might get interrupted partway through, or forget some. Then again, if she goes back and forth moving one puppy at a time, that would make it easy to follow her and figure out where she...

The owner has apparently allowed previous litters to grow up--the current mother dog was born and grew up there. Previous litters were born outside, in a place chosen by the dog, and the owner has not been seen to provide care for the puppies. So it's more a matter of lazy or uncaring owner...

Dog apparently had puppies. OP has seen the dog, but not the puppies. Dog appeared to be producing milk, with more in one side than the other, so assumption is that puppies had nursed. Dog has not been visiting OP as much as formerly. Assumption is that dog is spending time with puppies. OP does...

If a different person can drive by, and then report what they personally saw, that might work. But reporting "someone on the internet says these dogs are abused" is either going to get ignored, or is going to bring OP back into it.

Naps are sometimes a good thing, but keyboards are really not designed to be used as pillows :lau

Lots of updates in today's posts with a picture posted this morning (click the link in the quote to go see it.) Other updates over the next few hours: (I may have missed a few, because they are spread through so many pages of thread, but those were the ones that I remember noticing.)

Let's not ask this on a public forum. @JadeFarms usual advice is to NOT post your age anywhere public on the internet. You might want to go edit that post.

Depends on how observant they are. There's some chance the actual owners may never even notice that she was pregnant, gave birth somewhere else, and raised the puppies. It will depend a lot on how often she usually comes home, and how much attention they pay to her. If the owners really don't...

I'm not addressing whether it's "wrong" in a moral sense, just what happens if someone gets a lawyer or police involved. Helping an animal in need is a good thing, but getting in trouble for "stealing" a dog is not a good thing. If OP always leaves the dog free to come and go, and the owner...

If you keep the dog confined to a safe place to have her puppies, there's a chance the owners may complain that you "stole" their dog. But if you set up a safe place where she can freely come and go, and she chooses to have puppies there, then it's really their fault for not keeping the dog...
