I have pics and videos to post, right after I'm done with dinner.

Why are dogs and cats not done with the MUCH less invasive tubal ligation rather than an entire ovariohysterectomy?

It is pretty much just here in the states that we de-sex.
It is ridiculous and the number of cancers, behavior issues, other life health issues are astounding. But it makes vets alot of money to now have a dog with lifelong health crisis that will make them big money.
It has never been about reducing puppies. Since the whole spay /neuter push starting in the mid late 80's we have record numbers of unwanted pups. Ultimately if you educate people on heat cycles and how to not have pups it is amazing... no pups.

@secuono have you checked to see if there are any discount programs in your county? They often have them in rural counties.

Wow, I thought I had traffic noise at my place. How close are you to that highway?

Most spots in the videos are about 400ft from the road.
55mph, many go 65+. Fair sized main through road for 18 wheelers. Several accidents here, no one pays much attention. =/ Early spring, a guy ignored the turn and ran straight into the hill before the house, car bounced back n forth on the banks before flipping and landing a couple feet from our mailbox. Front bumper was in our driveway, back skidded further along the road. Driver had a broken leg, he flew out of the car, was fine. Other had a busted eye socket, but also fine.
Then one failed to turn at the next tuen and ran into someone's shed.
Others have hit other cars, trees or near misses.

The house is 30ft from the road.
It used to be a little dirt road.
Hard to sleep here...lol.

No wonder you have great fencing. It would be really sad if one of those fluff balls got through; or any of your precious animals!
Thanks so much for sharing your puppy experience with us. It has been great seeing them "grow up". I wish the boys the best as they go to their new homes...

Yeah, in the video in the horse pasture with many pups, yellow grass, mom was leading them to dad's spot, which is right under the road and the fence there is not the best at the bottom, because of the hills.
I shooed them all back into their yard and got the electric up right then to keep them out of the horse/pig areas.

They were left out overnight the next day and did well.

Dad hopped over and mom didn't, so I built up the divider in the barn, so now they should stay apart for 2+ weeks when he gets neutered and then recovers.
