I think rather more females are spayed than males done because of the mess issue, and some males (I don't know what percentage) are given a vasectomy. (!!!?!?!?!?! I KNOW!!!!?!?!?!?) Chuck is in that number. The pound here automatically vasectomizes males that pass through. And the roof? We're having to be very careful. He went out with me yesterday and immediately started heading off. Door is CLOSED for now. <br /><br />Beth, I honestly can't quite fathom the owners. They do this with all their dogs, and some of them have disappeared. She doesn't have a collar, nor a flea collar job, I honestly don't know her name and clearly they don't worry about puppies. She has been meeting up with other males, there is one I have seen her with several times, looks a lot like Chuck, but black. Indeed she came around again today, begging for his attentions and she had a male in tow, both of them soaking wet and unconcerned. I had a heck of a time getting out of the house, I had to push Chuck quite hard away from the inner door so I could get out and close it and then prevent the girlfriend and her other male from coming in.<br /><br />Never dull! At least he has been calmer for the bulk of the day.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-86742006396221965302011-11-06T13:38:36.930-08:002011-11-06T13:38:36.930-08:00I’m wondering what “her” owners think of all this ...I’m wondering what “her” owners think of all this – do they think it’s okay to let her wander off on her own and meet up with Chuck? Or (and don’t mention this to Chuck) perhaps other male dogs as well? Are we talking a possible planned or unplanned pregnancy happening?

Now, I am wondering if spaying and neutering is not de rigeur in Spain. I get why the howling and why she keeps coming around. Maybe the cultural thing is to not spay but that would mean an inordinate number of strays. I can't help but thinking that His Royal Chuckiness making it up on the roof was to scout out his girlfriend and let her know how to find him.The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287125977780580043noreply@blogger.com
