also I believe she may have started her "period" today as I noticed the crustiness and thought she peed in the house somewhere but I looked closer and sure enought dry blood... 8 months is that about right for her to start and at this time of year? what do you guys do during your females periods to keep blood from potentially getting on the bed or carpet? so far it isn't messy at all not a drop anywhere it seems to dry and get crusty. Should I be washing it for good hygene?
Yes -- she is right in the ballpark of having her first heat. I used little doggy diapers made for dogs in heat. There are several vendors here that make them. I do not think the vendor I used is still on YT. But here is one: Washable Dog Diapers by T. Bumpkins & Co. and Doggie Pee Pads and here is an example of disposable diapers you can get at Petsmart http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2752016 This is a good answer for you since there is no time to order the custom made ones for this heat.

Time to make some serious security plans for keeping her away from any potential male suitors. They can be relentless when she is in her most potent week.
