Dexter's Nuts!!

"I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts. "

- John Steinbeck

Speaking of nuts, a very sad event happened over the weekend. Our faithful companion, our guardian of our domain, our little buddy, well, he sort of got himself neutered. Here he gives us unconditional love and acceptance, and this is how we repay him?

One thing I learned from this was that I always thought that the neutering process was basically a modified vasectomy for animals. I could not have been more wrong. It is a full on castration. An incision is made and out come the stones in their entirety. When I found this out, I really felt bad for little Dexter. He really enjoyed sleeping on his doggy bed on his back, legs spread, proudly displaying his package in all its glory.

Now there is only emptiness. They don't even offer a prosthetic. Just gone!

However, in spite of all this, Dexter seems to be doing fine. He's running, bounding, and doing normal puppy things again.

Still a shame to do that to the poor fella.
