I have lost my dog.
Im gutted, absolutely gutted.
I have only had her a year or so. She was abused and neglected, then abandoned by her previous owner, eventually living rough alone for over a year before I found her. I went back with some food and she followed me home. Since that day, she has rarely let me out of her sight, and whenever I have left her, she sits at the end of the drive, no matter what the weather, waiting for my return.
She is pregnant and her puppies are due any time now. I can only assume she has run off to hide and have her puppies alone somewhere, but that has now been since thursday since I last saw her. Its so out of character that I cant help but assume something has happened to her.

Good luck mate, im sure she will just turn up as if she has been out for a stroll. Contct the local dogs home and the RSPCA just incase she has already been found, you have probably already done that anyway.

If shes lived rough before she'll be fine-shes gone nesting to have the pups somewhere alone thats she's probably familiar with.
All the same I'd be tempted to both check out the local doggy places and also start leaving food outside in case she eturns for a night time feed.
Try to be like Mick dundee as he pops over the wall to rescue the fit bird (name escapes me atm) "its the only way i can see it"
Good luck in finding her fit healthty with a brood in tow

Yeah, Im in France, so there is no RSPCA. There is a French equivelant but i am at least 100km from their nearest branch.
Unfortunately, the region I live in is inhabited by ******* farmers and hunters who have very little regard for animals, (hence her original abandonment) so the chances of her being taken in are very slim indeed. There are a few outbuildings on my land but she isnt in any of them. I have toured the nearby woods but there are a million and one places to hide in there.
She is very timid and would not go near other peoples property, especially if they have dogs themselves, as all my neighbours do.
I have left food outside where she can get it, an have made a nestbox and put her blankets in it in the shed she likes to sleep in during summertime.
Just have to wait now.

Sorry to read this. But she sounds a streetwise mutt and if she has just had a litter I'd have thought she would stay with them for several days before venturing back?
Fingers crossed. d

If she's gone off to have her puppies somewhere safe and quiet then she will need to stay with them until they can see. I think this period varies quite a lot in dogs but I'm not sure. Hopefully once they can see and walk OK she'll come back to you with her new family
