samstorm 34 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 positive mate, gonna take her up the vets and see what they say its only bin the past 2 days shes been like this, and like i said she was in heat 2 months ago, and shes not producing milk or any thing, although she is getting very clingy with me but i gto told that was just her maturing, isnt the period a dog carries pups a month? so if she had been pupped she would have dropped them by now, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

samstorm 34 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 shes not being herself in the house either just moaping about and following me every where, but when were out shes back to herself, took a lass home last night and took the dog with me, walked back over the village playing fields and there was a big old looking dog fox standing there, she froze and took off after it, her reacalls a million times what it used to be so gave her a shout and back she came only to take off back in the direction of the fox, so i grabbed her before she had chance to take off again and just stood and watched the fox run away over a field, if her reacall was the way it used to be i would have bin up shit creek without a paddle, bit off subject but a little story for yas lol, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
