Ok folks....I have a little girl and boy that are whole and I don't know how to tell when she is in heat...obviously from what I have read it is VERY important to know...How do I tell? I plan to get her fixed, but cannot do so yet. And does anybody have any easy cures for carpet shredding? My boy just wants to get out the door and digs and digs. The carpet is ruined by my door, but I still need to curb him. Soon he will dig all the way to the lower floor! Thanx! Ryan Reiko (But Gran'ma, I just wanna keep my nails manicured!)
