I don't believe in breeding animals. There are far too many unwanted and homeless animals in this world to breed animals just for money. We were supposed to get her fixed at six months old (that's what our vet told us due to research on their hips) but when she was six months we just didn't have enough time off to spend with her after the surgery so we ended up putting it off even longer.
Todd had taken Stella for a walk and came home to tell me that she had been playing with a male dog that was about her age which made me worry tremendously and I called the vet the next day to schedule her appointment.
I took her up to the vet where Todd's mom works, Stella loves to go there to see Grandma. She was very confused of why I was leaving her there tho. The nurses there said that she barked till her surgery, probably because she wanted to get out and play with the other dogs there, very naughty. When Todd and I picked her up she was so very happy to see us. She looked sore but that didn't stop her from showing her excitement for her dad and mom.
They told us that she needed to take it easy for about 10 days. The included no walks, no jumping on things or even walking up large stair cases such as ours up to our apartment. That all seemed pretty easy, except for that we found out that she weights 60 pounds!!! yikes. I sure couldn't carry her up the stairs....
