    Yeah, I thought I saw dissolving stitches…but that looks pretty bad; not so much the incision, but the surrounding skin looks really irritated; I am glad you followed up on it.

    Side note: Tim looked over while I was viewing the pic...and he was like 'what in the h&ll are you looking at!!! nevermind...I don't want to know' He wouldn't give me the chance to explain!!!

    Not always. Rally has always remained firm in her belief that Nicky would never be the father of her puppies, EVER! She also would prefer that he not sire any of her grandchildren either, even if he is neutered.

    Yeah….a couple of mine would NEVER fall into the "slut" category. More like the "nun" category ;)

    Here is a question regarding a bitch in season.
    At what age do bitches go into season generally. Is it after they are a year old or is it sooner.
    Also, should I be training her to wear panties right now. God forbid…with her in season...our house will NOT look like it is too!
    People have told me to just put blankets all over the place...I don't like that idea too much.

    When Ruby was in season, it really was no big deal as far as any sort of mess. I was kind of surprised. She kept herself so clean the only places I ever saw blood were on her beds (removable covers), her crate blanket, and my comforter duvet (again removable) from while she was sleeping. There were a few spots on the wood floors, but otherwise, it really wasn't too bad. There was no way in heck Ruby would have ever stood for wearing any sort of pants so I didn't even try it.

    Sugar tends to eat her pants. So she gets them on when supervised only-the rest of the time (since she has a crate issue for the most part) everything is covered in cheap sheets that I buy at walmart that actually look like covers!

    They can come in from 5 to 6 months of age… but usually they follow the usual time for bitches and that is typically Sept/Oct time frame. Good luck on the pants... mine would never wear them and there was only a week or so that they didn't keep themselves super clean.. and I had 4 in season at one time... I would just cover the furniture and then shampoo the carpets after it was over...

    Hopefully she will keep herself preatty clean. I've tossed the idea of trying out panties but I figure she will destroy them. She is one stubborn tri who makes it a point to put up a good fight. (argh)

    @DebraDownSouth: While others here post both husband and wife, they are individual and self-sufficient enough to post in the name of the person who is posting. "We" is a way I suspect to avoid either claiming responsibility. How about putting who is typing? Second, that you failed to grasp a basic is very sad but I'll make it easy for you. (Really, being honest you KNEW why but it was what you could find to try to make a fight)…. I said I have vets as friends to counteract the nonsense that I am attacking vets. Oh wait, I actually said that. Please quit trying to twist things for engagement. So not worth it. In fact, I am going to demonstrate my own advice and ignore trolling posts hence forth. How silly for me to respond when no one else misunderstood and only one person pretended to. Debra, we will never allow anyone to dictate to us how we should post on any forum. In addition, we will not bullied into anything by a comment or statement that someone else makes. We are not of high school age and we don't care for the drama associated with that type of behavior. You are welcome to suspect or make any type of assumption you wish that makes you comfortable. The context of the statement you made is an attempt at pure manipulation. The facts are that this is an internet forum. Like any Internet forum or blog a person or persons have the right to an expectation of privacy. If they wish to disclose information about themselves then it is their choice only. In our view no one has the right to demand anything different. We comprehend the majority of what is posted on this forum. We have no problem asking questions when we don't. We find your sentence that starts with " Second….." is written in a nonsensical way. We think you might have left out a word or two. As far as we understand, adults having intelligent discussion on an internet forum are not looking for a fight. We find it unfortunate that you have that perception. If you feel the need to justify your decisions and behavior, we do not think anyone is stopping you. Now that this is over maybe the discussion can get back on track.

    Behavioral difference depend on the dog, the age the dog is neutered and other factors. Lots of studies on the topic but mostly you avoid the heightened mating response to other dogs in heat and chance breeding. Behaviorally, effects are generally not that much otherwise.

    Congratulations, that is great! Ayo sounds like he's doing well. Keep the updates coming. It's great that he's gaining weight. We would love to see some pics of Ayo with some meat on his bones.

    @Rivermoon: I had heard people were doing the blood gas tests on their "probably affected" dogs. Apache had just turned 2 when I got the results and I started strip testing him immediately. I've already told my husband when he turns 3 I'm taking him in for a blood gas test…I'm wondering if I should do it earlier. I'm still strip testing Chey too even though she came back as "probably a carrier". My feeling is that until they get the actual DNA test, I'm not taking any chances. And since the strips don't last long, no sense in them going to waste….
