There is much truth to this old adage! This is our dog Stitch. She had a problem with her heat cycles and her female parts wanting to hang out. (Very gross I know, just be glad I didn't include a picture of that!) The vet said she was producing too much estrogen and we needed to have her spayed. Well it went away after her cycle and I planned on getting her fixed but as usual I thought I had lots of time. Then boom, before we knew it she was in heat again and the problem was even worse. So after weeks went by and it didn't get better I finally bit the bullet and took her to the vet. (Ron thought we should use the bullet!) So as the saying goes, if I would have got Stitch spayed in time it would have saved me $900! (Actually it was $600 but still way more than it would have been!) She also had a small tumor on her head that the vet removed. Poor thing, she has to wear that cone around her neck and bumps into everything. But consider it an expensive lesson learned to not procrastinate!

Nice mom.. I can't believe you wrote (typed) vagina on your blog!!
It is nice to not see it hanging anymore though! GROSS!
There I changed it to female parts just for you Kim. That does sound a little better!
Your house is never lacking in interesting tidbits of information. I have also heard it refered to as a "Janie" if that helps.
O goodness!
Paula, you are hilarious! I love reading your blogs and can't believe you actually spent $600 on your dog. Do you know how much good stuff you could buy with that? Of course, you are getting this info from a Mom who let her kids have a dog for 6 days and then we gave it away, because all it did was cry and mess all over my floor! I don't know if I'll ever be forgiven for giving the dog back to our neighbors:)
My Stichy! Well worth the money Lana! She is the best dog anyone could ask for. (Ched is a close 2nd)
We love you stitch.... R.I.P :(
