Thank you Dixie - I don't want any puppies so I'm planning on having Tess spayed in March when she will be around six months. I'd like to take her to the spay and neuter clinic which is much more economical than my vet, $40.00 vs. $80.00, but I'm really going to be nervous about it when it's time. She's so darn little. I've had my cats spayed and neutered at the clinic and everything has turned out just fine, but this place does dedicate itself to rescue animals and is low cost spaying and neutering.
