Only an hour to go....

and I can pick up little Ben (7 months old) from the Vet after having what we affectionately call a "Lower Lobotomy". He was SOOO scared when I took him to the Vet - he knew something was up...LOL! He's up to a whopping 13 lbs now, which is why I stalled taking him for neutering in the first place (that's not very big for a mini-Aussie/mini-poodle) - but Jack the Cattle Dog has been "threatened" by the presence of an intact male and I'm concerned for Ben's safety, since Jack can't really SEE what he's trying to bite....

Poor Jimmy looked at me with horrified eyes when I came through the door without Ben (the last time I left with a dog and came home without, was when Ike was euthanized in April) - but Jimmy understands a LOT of English and I told him Ben was OK and we'll "go get him later". He's sleeping at my feet, so I guess he understood enough of that?

Anyway - I'm just killing time. Waitin' on my dawg. And I know almost every one of you has walked in these same, restless moccasins :-)

    Glad all went well with his sx...it will only be a vague memory in a few days (at least until he needs to back to the vets ! )

    At least they weren't undescended! Thank heavens! Poor guy will be back to (almost) normal very soon. It always is so hard for us, though. I wonder if Jack's attitude will change. Maybe it's the "young whippersnapper" that annoys him?

    We have kind of the opposite deal here. When we leave out the door with one dog or the cat, the other always wants to go, too. I say, "She's going to the doctor!" and the wannabe quickly slinks off and says, "oh, okay, never mind."

    I think a meal of his favorite food and lap time will erase any memories he doesn't want to keep. He's over the worst of it. Glad he made it okay.
