This past December my aunt left her 9 month male old dog to stay with us until she returned from her two month trip to Mexico. Just two months before that we rescued a female dog that happened to be of the same breed from her abusive neighbors. Now at the time we weren't sure if she had been fixed or not, since her background was sort of sketchy. I pressed for my parents to get her fixed, since the male dog was clearly not. Of course, like everything else my parents should do, it was put off until finally it happened. Our dog had gone into heat, and the young male took the opportunity to strike. Now we are eminently waiting for her to give birth, since last night she seemed to finally go into labor. She has ballooned up into a miniature cow, and refuses to leave my side. On another note, my aunt ended up abandoning her dog and now we own the pair. Now as soon as she gives birth we are getting them both fixed. No more puppies for this family.
