Good I agree with this. Just keep her safe as I know you will. Have you bought diapers for her or a belly band?
I found that "light day" pads are just fine to put into the diaper or band.
Just remember to take the band off when you bring her into the backyard to pee or poo.
Also and this is probably in a very small percent of females, but I've talked before how my Zoey was quite frankly a "bit""ch"" in heat. The boys would try to sniff her, now you know the boys are fully intact dogs, and she was the most aggressive I've ever seen her. Very nasty! She was protected by me and her crate, when the boys had to go by to go out to the backyard, but still, she needed to not only show her pearly whites but snap repeatedly at them!
I hope you have kept up her crate training, because a full sided crate is very usefull at this time.
This will be her maiden heat, and you just don't know how it will go. YorkieMom1 made a great point about your other female too.
You will get through this. One way to look at this, is just to separate her as you assess her inter-actions with your other pups, and crate if necessary.
