The 5 pups

Everyday i go to feed the little ones with a feelign of dread. There's this fear since they are running across the road now and there are cars driving by very fast. Every day i go and find four of the five, but then i see the fifth one on the other side of the road running about.

Today there were only four. And the fifth one, the white one was not to be found. Strangely and coincidentally, there was a dead kitten on the other side of the road, run over. I confirmed it was a kitten and not the white pup. Usually it is the white and fair puppies that get taken by people who want a stray pup. Its the dark or black ones that get left behind.

The white one is the same one who had strolled in front of a car asking me for directions and I had picked him up and brought him back to the litter. So now we are down to 4 pups. There are 2 more white ones with brown spots on them so i expect them to be taken soon. 2 completely brown ones, I expect they will remain.
