i feel so sad

[Stiler]

See this thread for backround - here

She had the puppies in a wooded area with lots of grass/vines etc where snakes and other things go. So i moved them to the back porch kind of at the edge under it last night. I woke up this morning and went to check on them. I find 4 of the 5 puppies strewn about the yard, dead. One is still alive under the porch with the mamma dog. I feel so sad. I can't help but think because i moved them it was my fault. I don't know what could have happened, the one i wanted to keep is dead too . I feel so bad for the mamma dog , she keeps walking up the line of the dead ones sniffing them and sitting beside them , and i'm crying now , i mean what could have happened? i just ah i feel so sad, its all my fault, i was just trying to help them and i prolly am the reason they are dead now If i could take their place i would. i know people prolly think i'm crazy and prolly like to see me like this, i dun care. Animals have always been more of a friend to me then any of my "human friends"

Dont blame yourself Stiler, you were just trying to help her out. The pups might of just as easily been killed where she had them in the first place. If you want to blame anyone it would be the original owner who didn't take the proper responsiblity to have her spayed or provide her with a proper home.

We also live in a rural area and our dogs are not on leashes or in a fenced area, but they do stay on our property. Quite frankly if they wandered off onto someone else's property I would not blame someone for taking them into the pound. When I see strange dogs on our property, I would take them in if I had the means, since I have young children and I have no way of knowing if someone's roaming dog(s) are friendly or not & do not want to find out the hard way Usually my dogs just run them off.

That sucks..You don't have any wild animals around..coyotes or even wild dogs do you?

 

[Stiler]

well, i never seen no coyotes or anything, or other wild dogs here, although the daddy dog of them is not a dog of mine, it was a neighbors dog, i don't think it would have did that to them though, it was a hound dog and always really friendly.

Doesn't it piss you off when you watch one of those cheesy nature shows when they follow this lame a$$ group of beavers around for 6 months only to have a big bear come in and maul them all. Just once I want to see one of those filmakers flip out and shoot the damn bear screaming leave my beavers alone.

I dont see how this post could have become comedic. Sorry to hear about it Stiler, im close to my animals too.

In spite of the circumstances you saved one of them. I know it's hard, but you can't possibly save every little puppy in the world. That's why dogs have so many puppies, because they can't all possibly make it. Maybe moving them was a mistake, maybe it wasn't. You'll never really know, and at this point it doesn't matter. You did what you thought was best, and that's all anyone can expect from you. If that wasn't hard enough, there are already too many dogs in the world. If they had all lived chances are they would have ended up somewhere where they weren't wanted anyway.

Don't blame yourself. There are people who wouldn't have even bothered. At least you tried. I have an idea of how you must feel. I take in lots of strays and I've burried a lot of babies myself. Take comfort in the fact that while they might have lived a short time, life was no doubt better for them than if you had done nothing. Most strays live their whole lives without anyone caring if they live or die. In a way your puppies were the lucky ones.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It's a safe bet to say that he meant: The dog had it's puppies in a certain spot for a reason. He interfered with them. With bad results. The mother probably smelled human on the pups and kicked them out to die.

NEVER touch baby animals unless they are ready to live without their parents.

It's not unheard of for a male dog to kill puppies that he didn't father....
My guess is that another dog did it. If they weren't partialy eaten I doubt it was a wild animal.

 

[gopunk]

i'm with ya... i love dogs too. once i heard a car run into a dog... one of the most traumatic things i've ever heard.

Don't punish yourself too hard. You tried, but I guess the conditions just were against their odds.
