Well that does make me feel a bit better, although kind of not all at the same time lol.

It makes me feel better because I didn't mess her up MORE than I would have by waiting a little longer, but not because perhaps I should have done more research and waited a LOT longer.

However, I personally don't see myself waiting a year + to spay... soooo I guess in the end it makes me feel better. Thank you!
