See See is in heat again, rescuing, and the importance of spaying and neutering!
No, I am not breeding her this heat cycle. See See is only 16 months old and has not been x-rayed yet. She must be 2 years old in order to get certified by OFA, greatly reducing the likelihood of having puppies with bad hips or elbows. The household is in upheaval.
