Millie is a woman now. She's about halfway through her very first heat cycle. Because she is a show dog and I co-own her with Carra, she will stay intact. Should we give up on her show career for some unforseen reason, she'll be spayed like my other gals. But for now I have to deal with her messy, icky doggie periods.
I've never had a pup with a first cycle. I got Ms. Tuesday at 14 months, so she had already had a few cycles. Map was spayed before she ever had one. So I was quite oblivious to the fact that the first cycle is a bit traumatic for all involved.
Millie is moody. I mean seriously moody. She'll bark at seemingly nothing for half an hour. She'll pace bark on the patio. She snaps at Map just for looking at her. After a few weeks, it's getting rather tedious.
The gross part is her cha cha is ridiculously swollen. I affectionately refer to it as her Sausage Tube. She walks like she's saddle sore, she's so swelled up back there. I'd post a picture of her from behind, but it might be flagged as doggy porn!
All I know is I wish either someone would invent doggy Midol or this heat cycle would end!
Being on my period makes me tired and crabby!
