Now this will sound hilarious to many of you but as I've said this is my first time loving and living with a conformation dog. That also makes it the first time I've had a bitch in season. Bless her heart. It's day 10 now and we still have bleeding. She's chews off the doggy diaper presumably made for that purpose. Good thing she's good tempered and even better that I'm proficient at cleaning spots (unlike Macbeth's wife) off the carpet. Help me know what to expect and what I can do to make these seasons as manageable as possible.
