    Aww what lovely doggies!
    Haven't even thought about getting her done, am going to phone around a few vets and get a check up and then go from there, she's had one lot of pups already.

    Make sure you get her yearly booster vaccination and get her registered with a vet :)

    They may have bred her second season then - which is more acceptable (IMO)

    Spaying is a good idea. It can prevent all sorts of nasties. Yes there are risks involved, but then there are risks leaving her intact too.

    I hope everything turns out ok at the medical :)

    Oh no, I rang up to see if the staffie we were interested in was available and before I knew it I had arranged to pick her up on Sunday. Meet Amber!
