I am figuring it out, this morning was in tears because Duke is so noisy at night. Had a nap earlier. Got much needed sleep. Over the weekends I've been night caring for my elderly friend who broke her foot. Not a big job. Just helping her get to the bathroom and cooking meals. It's nice and...

Well hey if it works on people and plants as well as animals, it would be very useful here. I'm an avid gardener, haha. My side garden looks a bit like a jungle!

I just want to say thank you all for helping me figure this all out, I will be trying the suggestions! I can't try the dog crate in the garage, as it is a south facing, uninsulated space that gets very hot... And it's got hubby's project truck and my project car hoggin all the space. We have...

Should mention that yes they are scheduled for spay and neuter closer to their birthday in October.

I did not mention in the original post. The other family moved halfway across the country shortly after we took them in, so the son who is terminally ill can be closer to grandparents and other family. They could only find apartments that were no pets allowed when they decided to move. So while...

Thank you. The son has an advanced form of leukemia. He's just 18. Duke is definitely the one reacting to the fact that his sister is in heat. She isn't acting any different really. Content to lay down in the crate or walk on the leash with my son (her boy) to go to the bathroom. We have a dog...

I think you're right, we at the very least need to fix Duke. Thank you for understanding! It's been a learning curve.

First, here are my questions. My dogs are siblings. Names are Duke and Everest. How do I keep the two for sure separated while she goes through her heat cycle, that a three year old child can not compromise? I can't really afford boarding but if it comes down to it, I may have to figure that...
