Thanks for the reminder. I've never really dealt that much with girls coming out of heat, they are usually fixed before they go into heat. And I usually only have boys. Looking back over the years, of the almost one hundred dogs I've owned, I can ony count 6 girls. The only one I've dealt extensively with being in heat is Twiggy and Ling Ling and they've always been fine after a heat. Well, Ling Ling was always grumpy, I didn't notice her being grumpier than usual after a heat. Abby ony wants to be on a lap, she doesn't know how to be a dog. So, while she gets cuddle time, I am letting her down with the pack to teach her how to be a dog and not a lap ornament.
