my first.. period..?

2 days ago, Charlie officially went in to heat. Not sure how long the little bits of blood are going to last.. We tried putting a diaper on her, but that didn't last too long, she always manages to tear it off when I'm not looking! But none-the-less she's officially an adult now :-)

The last week they spot again. Their scent travels far and wide. Dogs have been known to travel quite a distance to find the grand "aroma" Dogs will be in hormonal overdrive and stop at nothing to follow natures calling. Do know that dog "panties" does not stop a breeding from taking place. Great care should be taken that she is not in the company of intact males.

Comment by Sam Tsang on July 17, 2008 at 5:04pm: YAY! She's growing up now :) The blood will last about 2 weeks, 1 pad a day is recommended. You may be able to get by with 1 every two days, but it'll smell and stained a little. Try adjusting the velcro tighter, whenever she tries to lick or dig in the diaper, say "ur ur" and do something else to distract her. Good luck!
