I’m a Big Girl Now

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

I feel lousy.

Of all the humiliating things to happen in life…I’ve been “on my period” for over a week. It sucks. I hate my diapers.

Mommy says I am a big girl now, but these make me feel like a baby again. And not in a good way. I never had to wear these things when I was a baby.

Mommy got me what she calls “big girl panties.” I think that’s a fancy name for washable diapers. She has to safety pin them to my shirt so they don’t slide off. It’s ’cause I’ve got a stubby little tail like Angel Lexi, so there’s nothing to keep them in place but a pin and a prayer. Mommy even stuck me with the pin last night. Was it my fault I was moving around trying to see what she was doing? Now I know why she says, “Ow!” a lot when she changes me.

And to make things worse, I’ve had the squirts since Saturday. I feel lousy. I can’t make it outside in time so I have quit even trying. Then I have to get my bummie washed and a clean diapie on. And sometimes the nasty stuff squirts out of the diapy hole where my tail is supposed to be. It’s all very icky.

Since my period started, I don’t take my toys out to the hallway at work anymore. I don’t go to Miss Beth to get baby-held anymore. I don’t even play with Lucy anymore. I understand (sorta) that this misery will make the hormones do their job in making my bones good and other things like that. She says I only have a few more days of feeling down, of my emotions going crazy. I wonder if she has ever been through this.

  1. Hi Shoko. The squirts and the bleeding are both gone and I feel much better. My Grammy says to keep me away from boy dogs now because they will want to do disgusting things to me right now. I am staying close to Mom and Lucy.

    (Mom’s note: The breeder and my holistic vet recommend at least 2 heats before spaying so the hormones can do their proper job in her body, making bones grow right, etc. So, we are all suffering through this.)

  4. Hi Ruby! I’ve been squirt-free for 24 hours, which isn’t as good as 87 hours. Mommy will give me some kind of oil and maybe some kind of dirt if the vet says I have icky worms. We still haven’t heard.

  5. Oh gurl, I went through this, and it will gets better! I thinks the worst thing is the squirts…sorry abouts those. It sure is frustrating when your whole system goes wacky! Maybe some metronidazole will clear that up…see what the vettie says. Isn’t it weird ~ this strange obsession our peeps have with our poopies, and the need to share it??!
    Sendin’ lots of POTP and some AireZens!
    Kisses,
    Ruby ♥

  19. …hmmm… pawhaps in dog terms that is a strange behaviour, but you are living with humans and humans love to investigate DEEP… so let’s hope that the squirt is all that has to get probed by the vetman!!! Yxxx

    Sweet Xena, even warrior princesses are not immune to the turn of Nature. I can assure you, mum absolutely HAS been through this and it is because of that, that she knows exactly how to help as much as she can. The rest is just patience. Sending some POTP to ease your discomfort. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
