Our neighbor's Yorkie got out, and the rest is history. I had no idea she was in heat. That sounds totally ignorant, but she must keep herself really clean, b/c I have never seen a drop of blood from her, and unless I'm rubbing her tummy, I don't notice the swelling. Days later the other family's husband told me that he had thought she was in heat b/c his dog kept trying to come over.  So, that's the story that led me to preach to anyone who will listen, "Spay your dog if you're not going to breed; it can happen when your dog is restrained in your own front yard!"
The babies' welfare are absolutely priority. They are precious, unexpected gifts.  |
A female in heat is a powerful scent.......dogs will come from miles.
I was told the odor can be detected by a dog at least a couple of miles away. Too bad she wasn't a cat, those crying boys would have told you what was going on.
