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

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? I've seen chimps wearing diapers and heard about someone that raised a baby lamb 60 years ago that put a diaper on it, but the whole thing seems a little ludicrous.

OMG you bring back memories of my female black labs, going around with underpants on, hole cut out for the tail when she was in heat. No wonder I'm so messed up... I grew up with dogs in under wear!!!!! lol Just kidding! So, no.. diapers are too darn expensive! An old pair of undies worked for us! And luckily all my dogs have been male, we're getting a female the beginning of Feb and she WILL be spayed asap!

I guess I was lucky growing up with boy dogs when I was a kid. I didn't recognize it at the time. We had a toy/rat terrier mutt named Moose. he used to pee on electronic equipment. he was especially partial to peeing on our Nintendo. Fortunately, he did this before too much time passed and so we just boxed up the Nintendo and returned it to the store for a replacement. "Gee I don't know why it doesn't work anymore, it just stopped one day." Now that I'm older I recognize that that is pretty screwed up, but my wife did drop her cell phone in the toilet once a few years back and amazingly that was covered under warranty too! Bad thing is the cell phone was only a month old and she got a refurb for a replacement. That gave me a whole new perspective on refurbs. What if they took my wife's toilet drop phone and refurbed it and sent that to someone as a replacement the month after that! That's got to be worth several hours of bad kharma hold time . . . .
