I was on the bandwagon...
I have had pets all my life, and they have ALL been fixed...even my goat!
My lab (a female) is spayed.
But now, with Joey..I am so scared to do it. Hes so spunky and doesnt mark on anything, hes not aggressive, or excessively humping anything. So I have been putting it off. But I want to get a female standard yorkie, and I am worried that she may put me under the same spell. She will be cute, sweet, and little.
I really need to get it done with both of them, Im just afraid he will be a different dog when he wakes up. I like his little attitude, and I feel like hes absolutely perfect the way he is. Any and all dogs hes ever come into contact with he loves.
I also feel like the risk of cancer for him is there regardless. I know that if his testicles are removed, he may not get that type...but there are other types, and so I wouldnt be doing it just for that risk.
I do however, feel like it will be much different with a female because I dont feel that their uterus controls their attitudes as much as the testosterone in a male. Maybe Im weird...I just needed to vent
