Well, Luna started her season 8 days ago. Whilst we were expecting it at some point, we still consider her our little puppy and as such, it was still a bit of a surprise to start "so soon." She is almost 7 months so I guess it is to be expected.
Looking back, she was off her food a bit - but as she is a bit hit and miss on eating, we didn't think much of it. She also attracted a bit more attention from another Cockapoo in our local Pets at Home (sniffing her) but again, we thought nothing. I feel a bit like a Dad refusing to admit his daughter is growing up but thankfully I have boys. God knows what I'd be like if I had girls!!!
Since then her "bits" have swollen but we've only had the occasional spotting of blood. She does keep herself very clean but does look a bit sorry for herself. We keep expecting it to get worse but so far, fingers crossed.
As for walks, well that is the tough one. We live in the country so she is always off lead apart from the little bit of road until we hit the fields. She's now on the extender lead or occasionally our 10m Long Line. I think she is coping with this better than we are - we love to see her jumping through the grass - but it's not for ever and rather this than an unwanted pregnancy.
We'll keep you updated on how she gets on.
Dave
