Answer 10

It's the surgery they perform, where they remove all the reproductive organs in a female dog. They remove the Uterus, the Ovaries, and the Fallopian Tubes. After this is done, the female cannot become pregnant. and there is less of a chance of her getting certain types of Cancer. Getting your dog Spayed, is the most loving, responsible thing that you can do for her!

Answer 11

It means no crying, whining, nagging to get out.  No bolting, straining, pulling at the leash. No constant scratching at the back door.  No howling, yowling, bleeding all over the place.  No fighting with other dogs.  No mood swings.  No hoarding of toys or people's possessions.  No uterine infections.  No false pregnancies.  No Pyometra.  No high blood pressure or toxicity.  No emergency C-sections.  No dying while giving birth.

No contribution to the MILLIONS of dogs that are killed in shelters every year because there is just no room for them.  No contribution to the MILLIONS of dogs that die on the streets or in the wilderness.  No contribution to the MILLIONS of dogs that are killed by their owners through abuse or neglect because they didn't really want the dog in the first place...

No puppies.  That's what spay means.  No reproductive organs and therefore, no puppies.

Oh yeah, it is also what a responsible pet owner does for a dog that they love.  For all of the above reasons.
