You're a good daddy, Mikey. He'll be happier in the long run, and healthier.
My hubby, Cal, was really sympathizing with Topher when he went in for his neutering two weeks ago...I told my vet about this (she knows him well) so she gave me something after the surgery to give to him...she put Tophers little bits in a jar to give to hubby...lol...all Cal could do was wince and squeeze his knees together! hehe Topher recovered so quickly...he was up and running around the very next day. Hubby, on the other hand still grimaces when we talk about it! You poor guys really seem to empathize.
