I spoke to a dog breeder about it, she said when Cate is 'ready' wink wink, that Hairy would know what to do. As soon as this storm has cleared and things are back to normal here, Cate is going to be boarded until she is herself again. Then she is having a hysterectomy, we don't do puppies.The reason we don't do puppies is because we could NOT bear to get rid of any. We know ourselves pretty well.

I know what you mean. Gracie and Trouble hooked up but we found out when she tried to birth that she only had 1 puppy and it was so big that she almost died trying to birth it. It was one of the most traumatic (and expensive) experiences of my middle aged life. I will never birth puppies again. Trouble lived up to his name in my house.

And Gracie was plenty ready but Trouble never would have figured it out without her help. However, once he figured it out, there was no problem.
