Winn Dixie is the name we've given the stray dog in our neighborhood. She's been here a long time...probably around 3 months. The dog catcher is out every week trying to get her but she always gets away. She's very scared and won't come anywhere near you and will even run if you speak to her from a distance.
She's a nursing mom and has lost her puppies somewhere. Our neighborhood feels sorry for her. She's thin, she's hot, she's hungry and thirsty, she has no place to go. Recently I found her in my garage with her head in Joey's dog food bag. Now we open the garage for her every morning and set water next to the bag. She helps herself while the kids watch her from the window.
We were concerned that after we move, she may have no other place to eat. But, I saw the dog catcher out again last week and stopped to talk to him. He told me that lots of neighbors are feeding her now. That's good. He also told me that they have lots of volunteers that want to socialize dogs like her so that she can finally be adopted.
I hope she gets a home soon.
