Poor Putters Nutters



If you've never taken a dog to get neutered, let me tell you, it's quite the intense experience. First of all if you go to a vet, it's pricey! So I found this "Altered Tails" mobile place that had a good rep, but cheaper, I'm so all about the cheap! Makes me wonder if I would do the same thing if it was my children....ANYWAY....

You have to show up in a parking lot around 6:00 in the morning to get your name on a list. IF they have room, then your dog gets the snip snip. J took Putters two weeks ago and missed it by 3 spots because some guy brought in 10 cats.

I took Putters yesterday, got there at 5:50 and I was 13th on the list. You could tell all those dogs knew what was up by all of the whining and barking! At 6:35 the mobile van came a rolling in... By this time there is a huge crowd in the parking lot all hoping that they get their dogs in, but you know everyone's not going to make it. Kind of a riot/mob-ish feeling...with whining and barking too...

At 7:02 they called my name and I did a very impressive impromptu cheer because Putters made it in, but then looked at his big watery brown eyes made me feel GUILT knowing what was coming. He was done at 1:00 and is recovering nicely, but he has to wear this cone head thing so that he doesn't lick himself, yes, that is a hobby he has...

I feel so bad for the little guy. Like the title says, poor Putters nutters!

Love the title...I'm ready to start running again. I think my bronchial tubes can handle the heavy breathing again.

That is so funny how they know. My dog Pippin after it was over, looked at me like he was hitting me with daggers, I'm not kidding.
