Kirsten,

Rocky and Emma look so sweet in those pictures. And, I am so sorry that Rocky is not feeling up to snuff!!! His facial expression is so kind and gentle. Emma has certainly provided him with the stamina to go on, as most puppies do with older dogs.

In an answer to your inquirey about little Emma, female dogs generally go into their first heat at 6 months of age, but this can vary from dog to dog.

I"m sharing this link with you, Okay?

Thank-You for sharing another picture of Rocky !!!! Give him a {{{HUG}}}}!!

I will keep him in my thoughts .

Thank you for keeping Rocky in your thoughts!

I will tell my mother about the six months, I think she believes it's 8 or 9 months. Also, her vet has told her not to spay her before she's one year old, but of course they don't want her to be pregnant!

I'm sorry Rocky isn't feeling well & do hope he has many, many more
good days to come.Sometimes I think they know better than we do when
the final days are on them. So sad to see.Female dogs can get pregnant
as early as 5 1/2 mos. It depends on the size of the breed. Of course, it is
not good for the female or the pups.

Thank you!

I had no idea that dogs can get pregnant at such a young age!! I need to have a word with my mother, and I wonder why her vet recommended not to spay her before she's one year old? After all, she's living with a male rottie!!

Poor Rocky, I will keep him in my prayers and hope the end isn't too soon. Yes that adorable Emma is becoming a teenager a beautiful one too! Cute pictures they look like they are getting along great!

[Kirsten]

Yes, they are very good pals, and Emma adores Rocky. I guess it will be hard for her when Rocky isn't around anymore...
