No, this is NOT a joke people and I don't need to be chastized--I already feel bad enough!!! It was a mistake on my part and to be honest, I just didn't know enough about the heat process--this is my first dog ever.
My mom watches my dog while I am at work and she is always with them and when she is not, she cages my dog. Is there a chance that it could have happened anyway? SURE. It's not l ike I INTENTIONALLY set her out to be put in harm's way.
Anyway, thank you to those who offered support.
