Hi Claudia, Well, I left the pup out last night. I went back and forth on what to do and took everyone's advice into consideration. In the end, I left a box and blankets in the driveway for the pup. If I put them anywhere else, the pup just left them and went back to her spot in the drive. Once I put the box in the drive, she stayed in it. I also blocked the drive so no one could drive in it, and I contacted the phone office today to tell them if they needed to access the poles on my property, to be on the lookout for the pup.
I still have not seen momma, but I know she is coming back. The pup is too healthy and too happy to be being neglected. I check on it often and it seems to be one happy and playful pup and it's little belly always seems full and it has such adorable puppy breath....so I guess I worried myself needlessly....momma is there somewhere, just avoiding me, lol.

What I finally decided to do is put the box and blankets in the drive way where the pup is waiting and turn the rest over to God and pray for the best. I will check on it first thing in the am.

I would think that the pup would make some distress calls from being in a cage and that might bring the mom faster and then you could just let the pup out...maybe watch from a distance for a bit?

A stray dog has had a pup on my property.... quiet a distance from my house......I have only seen one pup. We have been having a lot of trouble lately with the neighbor's lab's coming to my yard and attacking my husky/wolf mix dog. So, when I saw this dog on my property, my son ran it off....before he realized she had a pup with her! I do not know if this is a singleton pup or if she was in the process of moving the litter and when son ran her off, she abandoned this one. Pup is in the middle of a drive way. The drive is not often used, but is occasionally used by repairmen working on lines....and right now there is a lot of telephone repairs going on in the area, so there is a chance someone will drive on this driveway and run over the pup. I have moved the pup out of the drive, to the side, several times, but it keeps crawling back into the driveway. I myself nearly ran over it today when I went to check on it and didn't see it there!! The pup is approximately 2 weeks old!! Eyes are open, but not even a sign of any teeth. Here is my dilemma..... ...If mom is coming back to care for pup, I do not want to move it. But, if mom has abandoned it after being scared off by son, then I fear it will not make it through the night. I have placed a box and a blanket beside the drive and placed pup in there, but she keeps coming back out. I do not know what to do!! We do not have animal control in the area.......I can not bring the pup into my house because I do not know what diseases it may carry and pass on to my chis........ Advice anyone?????
