Poesie is currently going through her first season.. Our dogs are not sterilised for 3 reasons (as I suspect I will be asked this question)
-we sterilised our first dog and it made her extremely ill for months. She was run over not long after, thus spending her final days in pain.
-we live in the middle of nowhere so male dogs are not an issue
-it is quite costly
AnywAy, we've always only had one set of neighbours ( even they are 200m away
), but some people have recently moved in a little further away. They have a blck lab.
A couple of nights ago we heard a dog barking our garden that was not ours, and went out to find the lab with Poesie. We took him back, only to find out that he was not neutered :/
So, I'm not worried about puppies in general (if she even is pregnant), but the fact that Poesie is only 14ins tall and around 14lbs, and this is a really BIG lab :/
I'm really worried about HER, what if the puppies are enormous?
As to whether or not she is pregnant, are there any signs to look out for? The owners of the lab didn't think it would be possible since she is small, but when I picked her up after finding them together she cried when I felt her side (so he definitely tried!) Besides, her mum was 8ins taller than her dad and that happened somehow
Anyway, I'm sure none of this makes much sens, but support, help, or advice would be greatly appreciated!
