get over it and stop being so over dramatic..life sucks. sucky stuff happens all the time..you cant control it..you can make positive suggestions and do your part, but being ugly to someone doesnt get your point across

congrats on the new litter...please be careful when placing...
i do hope mama and babies are houses inside with this heat

my parents raised shelties every now an again never more then 4 shelties county rules are 3 per household..they (the dogs) have a house outside with electricity, running hot n cold water, a/c, heat, doggy doors, beds, crates, 2 large fenced in yards. and when they bred they had these nice dog houses where the tops opened and the puppies were housed and raised outside..and they came to play all the time..there is nothing wrong with a medium size dog outside in ok weather

Thank you Tammy. Like I said before, I'm sorry to have offended anyone. I reiterate that my dogs are loved and cared for. Mommy and babies are warm and inside. I live in South Africa and we don't have snow or excessively cold weather throughout the year. Many people living in SA have dogs that live outside.

I so agree!! There is no reason to be so RUDE and HATEFUL! If you are so disgusted and angry, go on to the next post.
You can be an advocate for "Spay and Neuter" and also be nice.
Just because you believe that dogs should not live outside, doesn't mean you are right, you just have a different opinion (and you know what they say about opinions)
I also agree that all pets need to be spay/neutered, and I would urge everyone to do that -it is healthier for the pet, there are no unwanted pups, you don't have to worry about the mess, or dogs wanting to roam.
But stating my opinion is different from blasting or attacking the OP.
I sometimes cringe when I see some of the posts I don't agree with - not so much because I don't agree with the poster, but because I know they are about to get some very rude and hateful things said to them.
So I guess in posting this, I will also be guilty of hijacking the OP's post.

a fence will NOT keep out a male in heat - believe me,

Oh my goodness, how horrible for that poor girl

I appreciate your opinion. Thank you. Once again like I said in a previous post, my girl will be spayed once her pups are big and I have placed them. I honestly never thought something like this would happen.

I made the wrong assumption that because we didn't own a male dog she wouldn't get pregnant.
Once her puppies are grown up and placed. We will have both our girls spayed. I do not abuse my dogs. I love them and care for them yet some of your comments have made me feel like an animal hater.

Tinx, I am sorry that we have made you feel bad. I am glad you will be getting your girls spayed We all have to live and learn -sometimes through accidents or unpleasant incidents.
I noticed you have not posted very many times, and unfortunately, like a lot of new posters, (and if you decide to stay on this board) you will learn what NOT to say or ask to protect yourself from this in the future.

[loveyorks]

That is exactly why I don't contribute very much to this board apart from a few congrats and etc.. Very well said.

Biiiiiiigggg lesson learned. I for one am not someone who judges or wants to offend anyone so I am very upset by this. Anyone who is on a forum like Yorkietalk is obviously a total animal fanatic as I am. I would never harm an animal. I will post pics of the puppies and keep those who are interested updated. Thanks for stating your opinion and being kind.
As I am new, I never knew fellow yorkietalkers could be so mean. They don't even know me or my girls and diji. But thank you to those who were kind and offered advice! I truly appreciate it.

Exactly why I spay and neuter at 6 months of age. It only takes a second. Thankfully your pup did ok. Glad you are planning to have them spayed.

They are so loved and cared for that you had no idea she was pg though? Hmm, Don't you ever pet her or rub her belly?

I can understand an accident, it happens.. But stuck in the back yard all her life just burns me up.

I don't understand why people who claim to love their dogs toss them out in the yard or kennel.

This is a little off topic (a lot off topic), but I wish people put as much concern into their children as they do their pets. Last week I saw five...5 very pregnant students waiting for a school bus, wearing very tight, revealing clothes. They could not have been more than sixteen years old!!!!!!
Too bad we can't spay or neuter some of these teenagers, as least temporarily.

[tammy8833]

i really think admin needs to have a chat with someone and explain threatening isnt nice nor allowed im sure
and if all you can do is come on a thread and be continuously rude you should not be allowed back in that thread n your post should be deleted

i so totally agree with the teen thing! and some adults!

I agree. But it doesnt help that MTV created a show about being a teen and pg. "Lets be cool, get pregnant and be on a tv show." grrrr

i think when things like this happen you just have to take it in stride and learn from it dont feel like you hate your dogs now you know you love them.
you said that you live in south africa well that seems like someone liveing in a warm weather state haveing an outside dog and im sure other yorkie talk members have outside dogs and as long as they are loved and cared for why cant they live outside. some dogs are happier outside

[mommadog1]

I am sorry for coming down so hard on you. It just really upset me...I just recently watched my neighbors dog die a slow painful death and he was left tied to a tree his whole life.

And yes I called AC, they wouldn't do anything as he was not breaking any laws.

I do hope you at least spay and neuter your dogs and I hope the puppies are ok.
