Kaiya went into heat a few weeks ago and it has been oh so exciting around here since then! She's had lots of suitors come poking about but only one has been lucky enough to make it past the gate. Zeke. He's our friend's dog who lives a few blocks away. Zeke comes visiting everyday when his owner leaves for work. He's about 13 years old so usually moves quite slowly. Except when he's excited and he barks loudly while wagging his tail and jumping about (well trying to). When Kaiya went into heat she was keen for Zeke to, well, you know. She stood for him for a few days, always postioning herself in front of him, eager and ready. Zeke took no notice. Kris thought maybe he was too old. I thought he just really loves her so he didn't want to simply mount her like he has most other bitches in our small town.
I think she just wasn't quite ready yet because as soon as she stopped bleeding Zeke got down to business- often! He was so eager yet couldn't quite make it happen- too old, his legs too short, Kaiya too big. Poor old Zeke and sexually-frustrated Kaiya who wasn't getting the loving she so yearned for. In any case after a few days Zeke mastered his technique. I looked out one afternoon and thought "they must be trying a new position" yet lo and behold they were knotted! Yay for them both! It happened a few times in the following days and now it's all over. Zeke still comes round to visit but Kaiya doesn't stand for him and he's content to just lay around. I think that means he's done the deed and she's going to be a mama. We sure hope so! I'll keep you updated- we should know in a month or so.
