juice Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sorry to say it was my first thought too, why pups so little were outside alone, and secondly you say you left really early in the morning and didn't check them when you got back either? Anything could have happened to them outside in that time, and surley pups that young need feeding aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 4 months old is hardly a vulnerable age. Goodness, i must be truly awful - my border collie babies were outside all day while I was at work from about 4 or 5 weeks of age. By 4 months it is quite possible to have pups on 2 meals a day. I really can't see how the fact they were outside aline is an issue at all. Asal - whatever has happened I do hope the pups are found safe. Do you not have any more recent photos to help?

asal Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I do but cant find where I put them. Whats even more frustrating and upsetting is I have video cameras covering all around the house and sheds that we installed after the two cavi's were stolen. Word of warning to those with survalence cameras,,,check them often for unexpected additions to the lens. the camera that would tell me what did happen where she and the pups were, we discovered has a spiderweb and its home leaf (leaf curling spider) completly obscuring the lens hadnt checked it for over a week with all this darned rain who would have thought they would be anything other than squeaky clean. Have to admit one of the reasons aside from never cry wolf if you are not sure of something that I really didnt want to post was the knowledge that to admit they are missing it would become with a percentage a blame game. This place is well known for it although is a fact of life with most forums. remember spotting someone on on another forum offering a newbie a cement shake and flame suit to cope with the abuse sustained. was assumed we left very early.. at no time did I give the time I left. what I did say was I knew we would be late home so left extra food to make sure no one would go hungry.

persephone Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) the police asked him why they had taken the dogs instead of the usual targets, tv's and such, told them..."they were so friendly and kept jumping up to be picked up when I went in to do the house." Sorry, had to smile at this. That's a bummer about the camera /spider I hope you can get some information soon , and get the pups back .....the next best thing I can hope is that wherever they are they are being loved & spoiled .

They are after all a small and easily carried off breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asal Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) there are heaps of foxes around here thats for sure. but since ive never lost one except for the infamous cavi incident (that foxe turned out to be two legged with blue eyes) and the occasional panic stations when dog sees snake and goes for the kill? with bird mesh round the fences thats eliminated the snakes getting through. never seen a wedgie ever around this area,, pleanty of small hawks and thats it. Awful trolling through all possible scenarios and wouldnt be in this pickle if I had just done such a simple thing as check the lens ....not happy jan Edited February 11, 2012 by asal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeimMe Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Do you think that it's possible that mama dog might have escaped from whoever took her and left the pups behind? If that is the case, the culprits can't be too far away. I hope you find them - have you checked with the local vets etc in case someone has found them or brought them in for shots/chipping or whatever?

I hope you find them - have you checked with the local vets etc in case someone has found them or brought them in for shots/chipping or whatever? what doesnt make sense to that, is if she came home she surely would go back for them, she is a very caring mum, even at that age, she loves pups any pup's dont have to be hers either. she has never gone out the gate, ever. even now although she is going to the edge of the road, she wont step onto it let alone cross, just keeps looking at me as if to say...well now get them ? so just have to keep a posative outlook and keep looking and searching as hubby said. so far not so much as a hair has been found. so at least we know they arent dead or we sure should have found them by now. well unless as one suggested eagle. n i know that not impossible. a friend lost one of hers that way in coonabaraban. wouldnt have thought western suburbs would but theres alwasy a first time. but two?? getting a headache.... too many possibles or what iffs?

Greytmate Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's possible that the two pups were taken from that spot near the gate and the mother dog was not taken at all. That might explain why she keeps going there to look for them. Whether it was a prey animal or a thief that took them, adult dogs are not going to be as vulnerable as little puppies.

Kadbury Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just thinking if Mum keeps going to the same spot by the gate maybe they were taken away in a car ?? she may have chased/followed and came back ? I do hope you hear something soon, such a terrible time for you thinking What If, and Maybe If. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be sure if i knew how to ask her some how some way id be doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gran believed she could put a hex on people although mum said gran never told her what she did that she thought it would work (gather its a scots thing) Edited February 11, 2012 by asal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If you are near glenwood, try looking in Parklea markets, they sell pups in about 3 places there. I did go yesterday and heard pups crying from the aisle behind me, but i avoid going to look if i can. wish i had looked now, if you think its worth me looking i can go, but they could have been sold already.
