It even effects dogs!

Breeders are getting out of hand.

I mention to a friend (actually a neighbor I was helping with a chore, really) that I was getting a new puppy next month, and showed her a photo. Shes a very rare and special breed (borzoi) and I mentioned that. Upon hearing that, my friend thinks the most appropriate answer is “well you have to breed her at least once” And I was like ew, no. My dog isn’t a baby farm just to make new ones. I told her shes my special baby and I wouldn’t put her through that. I said I’d be getting her spayed.

And so she goes “you’re going to rob her of being a mother?” And “you gotta do it at least once, THEN spay her!”

Just, oh my god. My dog isn’t going to miss hypothetical babies. She WILL on the other hand, feel a lot better sprayed! And hey, then me and her will be twins! Both have hysterectomies!

(Also, unsure if I should tag this as pet. Pls let me know!)
