Been noticing some things with velvet - she seems swollen "down there" and Windsor is constantly sniffing her.  When she got off her dog bed last night he immediately went on and was licking it.  She is also licking "down there" and her teats seem bigger.  I tried wiping her with a tissue to see if I could see blood but I don't see any.  She's been very "velcro" and very "cuddly" - more than normal.  Not showing any signs of pain.  She is eating and drinking the same.  Could that explain some indoor pee accidents she's having?  I am now crating her at night which she doesn't mind (and hasn't peed in) but Windsor goes in with her (it's a really big crate) and I have a hard time getting him out.   So last night I let them out for their last round of business and he was right behind her sniffing her and normally she beats him up when he does this but she doesn't care now.  Same thing this morning.  Windsors eyes are WIDE OPEN and he's licking his chops when he sniffs around her.  The two sleep fine - pretty much next to one another when we are home but not sure we should leave them together unsupervised?  I was going to keep him in tomorrow and put her out since she likes it better outside than he does.  She's an angel besides the accidental peeing.  And he's all worked up lately.  When do I get her fixed?  Vet said when she goes through a heat.  If this is a heat, how can I tell when she is done?  I only have had male dogs up until we got her.

While Java was in heat I used the depends, small kind, and then used duct tape so she could not pull it off.  Cut a hole for the tail.  I have never laughed so hard when we  first put it on her.  She immediately grabbed it and spun in circles and got it off.  That's when the duct tape came in handy and I could secure it on her.  She still grabbed at it and spun herself in circles.  But she finally gave up though and became tolerable of it.

I did a blog post a few months ago on Cleo's heat cycle. I go the underwear with a pad route. Click on the link below and you can see pics of my girl with her camo undies on.

I love the camo underwear - started reading the blog - it's very good - great pics!

Well came home from work and Lou said he saw tinge of blood on her.  I wiped her but didn't see anything.  We ate dinner and she was sitting on the kitchen floor and when she got up sure enough, blood.  So ran to Walmart quick and got her some tighty-whities - I wanted the Sponge Bob Square Pants Boxers but all they had was large so she is in Haynes Child's small with a panty shield.  She seems content.  So can she get pregnant while she's bleeding? No, right?
