Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Neutering Tomorrow. They Made Me Feel AWFUL!!!! I need positive thoughts, guys! Bengi is getting neuter tomorrow. I read about it, asked to vets, asked here in YT... I know it's the right thing to do, it's better for Bengi, better for me, and it's a simple procedure... most about it I know. But yesterday I went to my mom's house for dinner. We were like 8 in the table. So I told them that Bengi is getting neuter on Friday (some of them kinda knew already), so they all looked at me like if I were some kind of bad person , they said "Oh no! poor Bengi! why are you going against his nature, blablabla..." I love Bengi so much and it's hard when they make you feel like you don't love him! I'm pretty sure everything will go fine, but what if anything happens??? they will blame me for choosing this! Please pray that everything will go smooth and he will have a fast recovery! |

| thats not right of them to say that...don't they realize the health benefits of getting him neutered...less health risks...try and not worry about the surgery...he'll do fine...its very routine...lots of thoughts and prayer with Benji tomorrow |

| Prayer's coming your way for both of you. You are doing the right thing. Don't feel guilty or scared. As long as you have faith in your vet things will go fine and Benji will be a better pet for it. Not to mention it is better for his health if he is not going to be use as a stud. Keep us informed on his progress. |

| Your baby will be fine. Its your choice so what anyone else thinks really doesn't matter. I know its frustrating when ppl talk but it comes down to you and what choice you are making. And yes call me chicken..I know I have to get mine in but I'm just so scared. Once I settle into my new home I will get them fixed...That will be sometime in December. |

| You are doing what you feel is best for your baby, be confident in that decision. I like to hear other's thoughts and perspectives but ultimately I make a decision on what I'm comfortable with. I hope all goes well and wish him a speedy recovery. |

| You're doing the right thing. Piccolo was neutered 2 weeks ago so I know what are you going through. I didn't sleep the night before the surgery and almost cancel it because I was so scared. But everything went smoothly. They also pulled 3 of his baby teeth so if your baby has any left - do it at the same time. Oh, and they also put a microchip. I picked him up in the evening though they wanted him to stay overnight in the hospital. Three days later he was his usual "holly terror" So, please, please, don't worry. You both will be happier, trust me.

| You are doing the right thing! My husband calls it violating! But I saved my dogs life once doing that and did not even know it. She had a golf ball size cyst that was about to rupture. It made us both feel better. She is nine now and healthy. But I wouldnt havr taken her she would not be with us today. So don tlisten to others go with what your heart tells you.... |

| Aww I'm sorry your family made you feel that way. But what they say or think doesn't matter ... it's your responsibility to put your babys health needs FIRST regardless of what anyone says!! So keep your head up with pride because you're doing the BEST thing for your baby!!

| Prayers for you & your pup I'm sorry that your family made you feel guilty. You are definitely doing the right thing. If it were me, I would print out information about the need for spaying & neutering our pets. How about that news article that was posted earlier from the Victoria Advocate? I would bombard them with the numbrer of pets that are abandoned/killed/euthanized each year. I would be sure to point out how many pups an unneutered male could father in his lifetime. I would ask them if they would agree to take all pups he fathered and be responsible for them & their subsequent offspring. Ooh, I almost fell off my soapbox. This is just an area I feel strongly about. Probably you should just say, "I respect your opinion, but I believe this is the right decision for me, my dog and all of society, I'm sorry you don't agree." |
