Spayed female dog

Question
I recently had my 5 month old puppy spayed.  She's the 1st dog I've ever had. I'd like to know if she will still have a monthly cycle eventhough she's already been spayed?  What should I expect to notice in her.  Please advise.

Answer
The ovaries, uterus, and all are gone.  No more mess or flaky behavior as well as no puppies.  No cancers in those organs later in life.  She should just be her normal self year around.  

I hope you do some reading about dogs.  Here are some good books:
