Minny Bear is growing up...signs of an imminent season?
Minny Bear has turned 6 months today and I'm not sure if I am being paranoid and seeing into things or it really is happening.
As Lolah didn't experience a season, I'm not sure what to expect but the last few days Minny has certainly been a little more cuddly, clingy and whiney when I leave the room (she whined in the vets yesterday).
Lolah has been a little more interested in her bits of late too, but last night Minny was playing with Lolah, she rears up on her like a Bear, hence her name, but last night it looked more like humping!
I'm assuming these are all signs, but my paranoia has taken over and a Bassett was more interested in her today so she went on her lead close to me!
Are these all signs of an imminent season? Or could we still be a few weeks away?
No physical signs, although her vulva is quite an 'inny' and has become less but no physical swelling!

All because of Lolah!

She could well be coming into season.My girl Robin was 6.5 m when she started hers.
Regarding the practicalities here is a former post..

No two girls are the same...I've had most sail through seasons without any real temperament change..I've always had females, until adding my latest poodle boy andalways kept mine away from males whilst walking ,on lead ,during the three to four weeks of the season.
Robin was different in that we have an intact male in the house .i separated them when she was in season ( my hub took one and I the other)and swore it was so stressful for my hub and I we'd never want to go through that again...both my dogs howled for each other,the male wouldn't eat and I'm sure if we didn't live in Fort Knox Robin would have tried to escape to find my boy...so be very careful with garden trips so you supervise your girl as the hormones can rule their heads! I spayed three months after her first season and the household went swiftly back to normal.
My boy showed interest in Robin weeks before she came into season ,so the basset could well be telling you to keep an eye out...I used a white sheet on robins bed so I could see any show of blood and that helped pinpoint the exact day of the seasons start.mark your calendar for 22 days and then you should be clear,but I always used to say four weeks rather that three to be safe. After a wee,you can apply a tissue to see if she has any show as another guide to establishing day one...they don't lose much so you can easily miss the signs and many girls will only bleed for a few initial days. Many first time owners think the dog is now safe ,as she's not losing blood,but this is the most fertile time approaching so again,be very careful with her.
