For the last few weeks Belle has been in heat, and it has just been hell around here. Both she and Adam have had to be tied up, 24 hours a day as we don’t want another litter of puppies this soon after her last litter in August.
Our dogs are working dogs, they have a job and they have not been able to do it and they are unhappy to say the least and let us know it every chance they get.
They bark, and bark, and bark some more, 24 hours a day, day in and day out.
Belle will come to the back door and give me her best sad, pathetic look, one that would earn her a spot on those ASPCA commercials. When that doesn’t work, she glares at me. Then she sends our her minions, Boo and Goliath, to try and get me to let her off her tether.
Adam, on the other hand, just wants SEX…every bark that comes out of his mouth is saying “Sex Sex Sex I NEED SEX!!!” (And I can’t say I blame him…Belle only goes in to heat about once every 6 months).
So we have all been going for walks with Belle on the lease, to try and work off some of the hormones.
And then yesterday, Adam reached critical mass. When we went for our walk he was all over Belle, who just stood there with her tail to the side and refused to budge…the little hussy :)! It was a long, slow, walk back to the house as I had to drag Adam by his collar the entire way.
I sure hope tomorrow sees Belle out of heat, we all could use a break.
Until next time, Happy Trails.
