Ohh pooor Katie/Mom and Sophie. Tuesday will be pretty rough on you then. I was told the same thing with Skeeter, to wait till she is a year old, so we can get her fixed, her two double-dewclaws(two nails extra per hind leg) on the hind legs removed and her babyteeth pulled. That will be one rough day too.Now she has gone into heat and i have to keep an eye on her at all times because Pedro aint fixed yet and the neighborhood strays when she goes outside. Am i glad i got a crate now. Anyways, my prayers will be with you. Connie
