Twice in the past month, my wonderful children have forgotten to close my gate and all of my dogs got out. Minnie hasn't been spayed yet, that was supposed to happen next month! Although we caught the dogs, both times, very quickly, I am still worried. She's healthy and happy but the last week or so I have noticed that she is more territorial of her dog house and bed. She has also been "talking" more. She is very vocal with us but this last week she has been more so. I swear she is trying to tell us. She comes in and lays at my feet, belly up and whines or howls a bit then starts wagging her tail. She never did that before, lol, like I said I swear she's trying to tell me she's going to have babies.
