[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 565108, member: 84"] Actually, I [B]wouldn't[/B] abort a litter of pups. That is why I'm upset she went into heat before I could get her fixed. If she got pregnant she would have the pups and I'd find each and every one a loving forever home. I wouldn't like it one darn bit, but I'd do it. Fran, I do wish I'd fixed Rowdy years ago. But he's too old now and vet says he likely wouldn't do well with the anesthetic....... Fred had an aversion to fixing males. Kept telling me it was a "guy thing". Never understood it but every time I tried he had a hissy fit. Rowdy lives outside. He has his kennel. No, he won't scale it......it has a roof built onto it to prevent such antics because he used to do just that. (and to keep the weather out) As long as he's in his kennel he can't get to her..................as long as she is under guard, that is, as she is going to reach a point of ultra cooperation where she might find a way to get it to work with him through the fence of his kennel. Which is the reason for the guard. She's only off leash right now for 20 min jaunts with her frisbee or ball to burn off energy. I don't *think* that Rowdy has the mobility due to arthritis to manage fence mating, but I am not going to risk it either. She is never alone in the yard. Never. The method worked fine for Molly and for Precious until Nichole got "careless" and just let Precious into the yard one day when Rowdy was not in his kennel. I still believe it was deliberate on her part, but she denies it. Since Maggie is already to the stage of showing much exuberance (if you get my drift) seeing Rowdy........I'm wondering if I caught on to this heat thing late in the game. She's so furry on her backside I didn't notice until she was fully swollen. To my knowledge Rowdy has never been alone with her, so we should still be safe as far as that goes. I've got the appointment made already for her to be spayed. [/QUOTE]
