A while back we had our male puppy, Kassel, “fixed”. I use the word “fixed” lightly, as I have since discovered this term is now politically incorrect. The more friendly term being used is “altered”, seeing as the word “fixed” implies that something was wrong with him to begin with. And although marking his territory may be construed as a natural display of dominance for some, I chose to “fix” the issue. The line was drawn when he “marked” my flip flops…
As we picked up our sweet little four pound ball of fur from the vet’s office, I felt a great sadness in my heart for what we chose to put him through. You see, not only did we have him neutered, but also elected to have five of his remaining puppy teeth pulled. In addition, he received his Parvo and Rabies vaccinations. Basically, he was “tore up from the floor up”…
