Merry Christmas Eve everyone (those who celebrate Christmas, that is). The momma let me open one present on Christmas Eve. It’s from my cousin, Linnane! (shhhhh…don’t tell her that I got her aWebkinz black poodle!)
I was so happy and was having a blast ripping it to pieces, but then….the momma actually took it away from me! It was made from a soft type of rubber and she was afraid the small pieces would lodge into my intestines. She said that the vets who work on the holidays are the ones who drew the short straw and are usually overworked. But I’m still sad that I could only play with my present for less than 10 minutes. Oh well, I guess that it’s better to not have emergency surgery on Christmas.
Healthy for humans, deadly for dogs- We’re so happy that this is number one. We hope that it has prevented many accidental poisonings. A worthwhile read because some of the foods are surprising…and commonly within reach of many dogs.
This is a goofy little 23 second iMovie we put together for Superdog Sunday. I had fun at my grandmama and grandpapa’s house and galloped around their yard. Unfortunately, we were not there on vacation, but because of my grandpapa’s recent stroke. I wasn’t allowed to visit him in the hospital because I am not acertifiedtherapy dog. Currently he’s moved to an intermediate care rehab facility until he gains more function of his left leg and arm. The momma and I can’t wait to get a good old fashioned bear hug from him!
Can somebody please explain this???? They did not dress me up like this when I was neutered!
Okay, I am not ashamed to admit that I have been surgically “altered”. Some may call it dismemberment of a sort, but I do not really miss them. For one thing, it is a lot easier to run and jump without them bouncing all over the place!
I think they only should be kept around if you are planning on being a daddy someday. Even then, if you do not belong to a professional breeder, you may want to consult with one before family planning. You may think that you will make a lot of money to buy premium dog food and new toys, but raising puppies until they are old enough to adopt out is very costly indeed! If you are lucky, you may break even.
Think about the benefits of removing them (at around 6 months of age). First of all, they cloud up your thinking. If there is a bitch in your neighborhood who is in season, they will make you do anything, even may make you run across a busy street to get to her. Second, without them, you will have nearly a zero chance of getting prostate cancer.
As for the unproven facts of losing them (again at around 6 months of age) there is little to no smegma, less drooling, and less aggressive behavior.
Here’s a little tip for single women. If you meet a man who insists that his male dog never be neutered and is not planning on breeding him, don’t date him. There are only two other reasons a man will do this. First, he may be a hypermacho “Alabama man” and second he may be using the dog to compensate for something else….
