at first i was wondering how she got cut :roll: then after a closer look i realizedJessiNGunther wrote:OH NO! WOW 8 months is early is it not ? I was lucky that all my past girls waited until a year or more. You are going to have your hands full but take it one day at a time and before you know it'll be over with and life will get back to normal.
I got Gunther from family friends and she just sent me an Email saying while they where at the lake Gunther's mom dug out of her kennel and then dug out Gunther's dad. They are going to have a litter at the end of this month. It's crazy what a dog will do when in heat.
shes in heat!!..oh gosh, i hope she just accepts her diaper and lays down, she looks so embarrassed ...ruth GUNDOGS wrote: at first i was wondering how she got cut :roll: then after a closer look i realized

Ummm, the b. pants are embarassing enough, so try to keep any toys that might stick to the velcro away.
Brandi last came into heat in June, and I turned away from my desk to see this. Immediately I said to my husband, "Did you do that?" He didn't even know what I was talking about. She must have walked around for 5 minutes with the giant deflated tennis ball stuck to her, oblivious to our laughter.
If you're using dog pants like the ones I bought, my girl starts pulling the pads out after a couple days. It's still a good barrier though for the furniture and what not--just needs regular washing.
POOR BRANDI i can only imagine her looking at you like " have you noticed anything different here mum" 
...for now i have my 4 year olds pull ups that she use to use at night, i grabbed one out of the cupboard and my 4 year old cried cause she said she didnt want to share her pull ups with jersey :roll: yet she shares suckers with her

ROFLMBO... I was looking at that thing and wondering, "What the heck is that?" My dog has figured out how to open a sliding door and has been going for an "all you can eat lunch" . (I keep the dog food behind the sliding door.)wems2371 wrote:GUNDOGS wrote: at first i was wondering how she got cut :roll: then after a closer look i realized

safer to do it a couple months after the heat. There is a lot of blood supply to the organs during heat and the risk of hemorage is high. Many vets won't do it then. Too risky. A spay is hard enough on a mature female as is. It is a hysterectomy after all... that is major abdominal surgery. If you know any ladies who have had one, or had a C-section, its similar in terms of how hard it is on the body.MikeAZ wrote:I just got a 3 yo female who is about due to cycle. I think I am going to have her spayed...can you do that when they are in heat? If not I guess I need to get that done before it all starts.
