Not being mean, It is a fair question.

Tuffy, Like Cannilla has a health issues also. We had taken Tuffy in to get him fixed, when the Vet reminded up, that like some Boxers, Tuffy has a heart condition. It's been so long now that I even forgot what it is, something like PDA, but not that. Even thought the vet was willing to do it, we choose not to put him under.

We believed it would never be a problem as all our other dogs had been fixed. Then Cannilla came into our life. She had some other heath problems when we got her, wipworms, huge weight lost from the neglect of her last owners and also a injured leg.

After healing all her other problems and believing we could soon get her fixed, over night almost, she stopped walking. We toke her to the Vet ASAP. After some blood work done, we found out she had cancer. At that point getting her fixed was not an option, EVER.

So that brings us to where we are stuck now, 2 unfixed dogs, both with health issues. What where we to do but make the best of it and do everything we can to keep the 2 of them separate, when Cannilla goes into heat. It's not like we where going to give one up at this point. Cannilla had already had one horrible owner and was now learning to trust us, so we where not going to give her up for any reason, Plus we love them. So for the last 3 years we have keep them apart, with no problems.......Till now.

We still have no idea on how they got together, this time, we separated them from the first sign of heat, just as normal. Never dreamed that we failed, till one day we looked at Cannilla and said, I think she is pregnant. We still are racking our brains to figure out when this happened, for 2 weeks we keep them seperate, till all signs of her heat was over and till Tuffy showed no interests in her. Some where we went wrong.
