  <br>Generally you can avoid the 'glow' by not using a flash It doesnt always work but it certainly reduces the likelihood of it occurring.<br>Just how humans get red-eye sometimes when the flash is used <br><br>She's very gorgeous! I'm not usually a fan of russels but her markings and expressions are just adorable.

  Of course, natural lighting also helps as well. (:

  <br>Aye, Pretty much not having any light shining into her eye should stop the 'glow'.

  <span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="text-decoration:underline">BAD DOG!</span></span><br><br> So today Aspen was a bad dog! Ok well we live in a little town and a lady and her horse rode by the front of our house and Aspen has never really seen horses except for just llike driving by them so she was inside going to window to door kinda winning but she barely saw it if at all...and my sis was out side are sliding glass door and i open it a crack to to talk to my sis and i put my foot in the crack so no animals could get out and all of a sudden aspens out the door! the crack i didn't even think was big enough for her to fit through and on top of that my foot was there! So she took off down the drive way and then saw the horse way down the street and took off after it. I ran out the door screaming her name and chasing her, but of course she did not stop, and i had no shoes on and had to run on rocks, and really rough road! She came to the road were people get off and on the freeway and just crossed it and shes so small if there was a car coming they probably wouldn't even see her! the lady finally heard us screaming and she stopped and turned around her horse and Aspen was just sitting there shaking her whole but and tail at the horse being very submissive while i was a crossed the road waiting for a time i can cross to get her, because of course people are not generous to let me by. <br><br>Ugh this is was so scary! i just keep thinking that she could be dead right now. Im just glad there happen to be no cars when she did cross, and this is about half of a mile she ran, yeah its not far but with no shoes it was! lol <br><br>The things we do for our pets! <br><br>Also will have more pics later case anyone cares XD

  My dogs would never do something like that. They know id go sprinting down the street, catch up, tackle them, then pound them until they tap out. Then I would stand and take a bow for all the bystanders watching. O_o<br><br>lol. <br><br>I'm glad she wasn't hurt!

  Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD

  So it looks like lil missy piggy here, is gonna have puppies! <br><br>Im excited, and kinda disappointing at the same time, as i did not want her to have puppies, and especially not mixed breed pups...<br><br>So about a little over a month ago, while aspen was in heat, my sister decided to bring over her min pin, and as much as i repeatedly asked her to keep him away right now, she did not listen -_- and the weekend she did this i was gone and couldn't do anything about it. <br><br>This was not planned, and wouldn't have happened if i would have been there. although she is plenty old enough, and extremely healthy she will be just fine, i just didn't want her bred. <br><br>Though there is nothing i can do about it now, i guess i should just be excited.<br><br>So little Jack pins on there way! im sure they will be cute XD

  If you got her from a reputable breeder this could actually be an issue... did you/your parents have to sign papers( a contract ) when you got her? If so there may be stipulations in the contract that if she's pet only and you breed her you can be fined, or the dog can be taken back, same if she was on a breeding contract but the puppies are mixed breed... If you really don't want puppies there's always the option of taking her in to be spayed now... I know it sounds a bit cruel, but what's worse, her not having puppies, or her having puppies and and the potential problems that come with that( pregnancy/birth complications, not being able to find them homes, having to take them to a shelter and it leading to them/other dogs being put down, just generally adding to pet overpopulation)?

  <br><br>I am on board with this also, you can get her spayed now and it can avoid any problems that can happen in the future. I've seen a couple cats get spayed while pregnant some up a few months.

  No contract was signed, so we are good there.<br><br>We are in a situation were we can afford to provide, for them and all that, and the vet thinks its best to wait till after shes given birth to get her spayed.<br><br>We already have 5 really good people interested in puppies, that i know will be going to there forever homes with these people, so finding them homes in this area is not gonna be a big deal, cause everyone wants a little dog.

  How far along is she? Most vets would go ahead and spay now depending on her trimester.
