Some of you already know, Gracie is in heat. She started a week ago with making messes, I have her wearing pull-ups. She is really emotional, plays some but not as much as normal. The last couple of days her mess has slowed down alot. This morning when she first went out her pull up was clean after wearing it all night.
A few minutes ago she wanted to go potty. I always make sure Princess is out with her because I know if a dog started hanging around the fence she'd bark. So I took off Gracie's pull-up which was still clean. She went outside to potty and only a few minutes later she yelps and comes crying to the door and inside leaving a messy trail again. She continues to cry as I get a pull-up on her which is tricky because she's messing one drop right after the other. Does the 2nd stage hit that hard? I figured when the 2nd stage was mentioned it would just ease it's way into it. Are the dogs aways so emotional? She's even turning into a lap dog since she's gone into heat. Just wants to sit on my lap so she doesnt have to be bothered by Princess or Kokomo (he isnt showing any signs of interest in her and she's always covered when they are allowed in the same room, and I'm always with them).
I just talked to my husband, he said I shouldnt worry, she might have been pushing real hard (to poop maybe). Do you agree, is this normal?
