another my boy's gettin snipped thread

[rumcrook]

well its been a couple months since gunther died , see the "he died in my arms" thread on the rainbow bridge forum. but ottzie is growing like a weed, he's about 15 or 16 weeks old at this point and the vet told me he's ready and can get snipped any time I want.

so I set an apointment for next week.

ive allways fixed all my dogs male or female but it never gets phsycologically easier for me (ya know im a guy and its a guy thing)

but any way Im posting this to be an example for everyone else out there, fix your dogs. unless you intend on becoming an expert breeder advancing the breed with properly chosen animals just love the dog you have and leave the actual breeding to people who see it as a calling.

Thanks for doing the right thing, rumcrook. He'll be OK, don't worry. Hey, COOL pic! Is that a water color, or...??

A big kudo's to you Rumcrook !!!!!!!
Don't worry about the 'guy thing' issue . You are a strong guy to admit to it and an awesome one for dealing with it and neutering your boy

Henry was neutered at 12 weeks . Pretty much an instant recovery . I think there was one brief lick in passing of the area ( but who can tell as he speed licks everything in sight anyway ) .
Youngsters heal so quickly you'll be amazed .

after all the dogs ive had fixed you'd think it be easy at this point, but it still twinges me. the image is a photo of otzie looking out the courtyard gate to where gunther rests burried beneath the peach tree. I do real world art (welding sculpture, pastels ect) but also computer aided graphics, and this I made in corel paint.

Rumcrook - you made me smile! A guy thing...but you are making it a SMART guy thing! Thanks for posting publicly that while you "twinge", you realize it is a responsible thing to do for your dog! He'll be great within a day - you might "twinge" a day or two longer Your art is great!!!

Wonderful artwork and a wonderfully responible dog owner and an asset to the breed owner ship. UNCROSS those LEGS it ain't that bad!
