Beth. Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have a very sooky, sore little girl here at the moment - she went in for her spay yesterday!!! Lets just say it was a stressful day! It was a day full of lectures at uni, and i'm pretty sure I took NOTHING in!!!! She'll be extra extra spoilt the next week or so today I went to the little cheap shop in town and bought her lots of toys, hehe!!! She was such a good girl!!!!!!! and it was very cute to see a slow little wiggle from her bum when I picked her up She's my baby!!!! And airing her sore little belly there is a fan thats pretty much on her and she just lies there like that with the cool air on her!! It makes me a little sad to see her so quiet (she's usually a very active bouncy girl!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilypoo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Lets just say it was a stressful day! I honestly think it is soo much worse for us then it is for them Chin up, she will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Aaaaaw! But just wait till tomorrow. She'll likely be back to her bouncy self, and you'll be panicking about trying to keep her quiet. She's a very pretty girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth. Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hehe, I know, I will!! I think it's going to be hard to keep her quiet for the next few days!!! I took her out for a toilet break ealier on lead, and she found a stick and gave it to me, i felt a little mean by taking it and not throwing it, as she was waiting so patiently for me too!! hehe!!

Bubitty Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Oh my poor baby girl was desexed today as well! She is now fast asleep in her crate looking very forlorn! Her brother has been sitting in front of her crate door, facing us and giving us very dark looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle. Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Awwww, the poor little chicken (my kids tell me the dogs are NOT chickens, but mine all get called "Chicken" or "Possum" cos they are just so cute). My baby girl isn't speyed yet as the jury is still out on whether I'll keep showing her but I am dreading the day. On the other hand, my Lhasa is 15 and has never been speyed, never had pups and she is just as fine as can be (and has outlived her speyed Maltese buddy by 3 years so far).

stef_83 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 awww she'll be ok one night of discomfort is better than being heavily pregnant with pups and probably not as uncomfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth. Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 awww she'll be ok one night of discomfort is better than being heavily pregnant with pups and probably not as uncomfortable Yep, and with all the wondering entire dogs around here (we've moved to a small town and they must think it's ok that their dogs can jump the fences and come into other peoples yards) I just didn't want to risk it!! Plus it's not only Lottie in our yard, as in there's two other dogs here, so just not worth the risk for their safety either!! She's been a good girl so far though, no cone of shame!! (helps that i've been at home with her the whole time keeping an eye on her, meant to be studying but oh well....) GayleK - I was so iffy/undecided about getting Lottie done now, but after lots of chats with vets and the breeder we decided now was best, and i'm glad I did - I'll have alot less to worry about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle. Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Benson is a neuter and one thing that kind of turns me off is the way his coat has gone, and I've heard it's fairly common with Aussie neuters. It's thick, shaggy, fuzzy and harsh.......it's gotten really horrible over the past couple of years and I spent probably 3 times longer grooming him than I do Dusty. She has her twice annual coat drop, that's a pain but once it's done it's done. He doesn't drop any coat aside from a constant turnover of outer hairs all year round, and to remove his undercoat I have to literally drag it off his body. I know that's no excuse but I love Dusty's soft silky coat and I dread the day she's neutered and I have to start dealing with two horrid coats.

Oh ok!! hehe, I'll let you know how Lottie's coat goes... she doesn't have a big coat to start with, but hers is the same, so soft and silky!!!!! How big is Dusty? Like height/weight wise?? When did she stop growing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle. Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I honestly don't know her height or weight. She's not tiny and she's not oversize so about average I'd say. I would estimate she's about 23-25kgs. She could stand to lose a kg or two though. She got to her adult height around 18 months but she's still changing in head and bodyshape...........Coming together is what I call it. She was 2 in December.

Ok thanks for that Lottie's at 18kgs now, and not overweight, I was more interested in when she'd stop/keep growing till!! She wants soooo desperately to go for a run and play!!! She keeps picking up toys and bringing them over to me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
