I'm honestly not sure if Hera would let me diaper her. I'm not terribly inclined to spend money on new supplies without knowing for sure I'll be reimbursed. I did see some suggestions online about using regular old granny panties (cut with a hole to suit tail size) and winged menstrual pads, and I might be convinced to sacrifice a pair of my own just to give it a shot. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her that way overnight since she might remove them and chew the pad, but while I'm around to watch her that shouldn't be a problem. You're right though...there's always a possibility she won't tolerate it in any form, in which case she'll just have to be crated.

I'll bet you're right about boarders not accepting females in heat. I hadn't even thought about that aspect. I checked my boarder's website and didn't find anything specifically saying 'no,' but I do remember them making very sure that my girls were spayed while we were filling out paperwork for them.
