One Golden Pup and Ma...

Mom barked at us and tried to lead us away, but we knew the pup had to be around somewhere. We had been there the night before and did not find any puppies anywhere under the house. Today we had better luck. This little pup was between the remains of the spring wires of a mattess. The mattress was in a debris pile of wood and miscellaneous trash. Luckily for her, she barked when I began walking over a board touching the mattress. We left her in a crate under the house, blocked off the majority of the house and returned an hour or so later, to find as we had hoped, Mom, protecting her last pup. We then herded her to the front, and David was able to snage her with a catch pole on the porch, while Jamie guarded the back, just in case whe tried to push through our defenses.
