Most dogs have their first heat between 6 and 12 months. What the signs look like, why timing can't date a puppy, and how to confirm her real birth date.
Qiqi, Across the Water: What a Dog Sees From the Other Bank
We were on the far bank. Qiqi was on this one — [how it happened, and how deep the water was]. She did not come. She stood at the edge and watched. The child waved. For [how long] nothing else happened. I have thought about that half hour more than about most things she has done, because almost everything I assumed she could read from there was wrong.
A Fishing Day by the River: Qiqi Took Her Sentry Duty Seriously
At the weekend, I took Qiqi along when my little human went fishing by the river. The water was calm, the rod was ready, and Qiqi was doing her usual patrol. Then a stranger walked past at a distance — and she barked. Not a tiny warning bark, but the kind that makes everyone on the riverbank turn around. It was not a bad dog moment. It was a dog doing exactly what dogs do: noticing something new, feeling unsure, and using her voice.

My dog sat in the drizzle for twenty minutes waiting for me. Here's why dogs wait for their owners, when waiting becomes separation anxiety, and what they actually need from us.
My Dog Goes Crazy When I Come Home: Why, and What Actually Helps
From the Qiqi's Growth Diary series Qiqi does not care when I walk into the next room. Nothing. But after a real absence — a day at the office, an afternoon out — the reunion is an event: up on her back legs, paws on my chest, tongue going, tail moving her whole body. It is also genuinely a lot of dog, and I have taken a paw to the face more than once, so I went looking for what actually changes it.
My Dog Peeed in the Office — Now She Asks to Go Out
How our office dog went from accidents under the desk to signalling she needs out — the timetable, the praise timing, and why the guilty look is not guilt.
A Perfect Evening by the River: Fishing, Sunsets, and Qiqi
Some days you plan for. Some days just happen to you. This one happened — and it was better than anything I could have planned
