If your dog goes into heat, do you put a diaper on her?

brettbum @brettbum (304) • United States 26 Jan 07

We are fostering a stray dog and she went into heat. Its not our dog so we don't want to get her fixed, but its pretty annoying. So we cut a hole in a diaper and put it on the dog. Does anyone else put diapers on their dogs?...
