I bet there are plenty of males in the family that were circumcised.... wonder why they weren't allowed to be "natural?" ... anyway...

My mom and aunt whined about me putting Scooter in a crate at night. It’s like I told them, “you wouldn’t let a baby wander around unsupervised at night.” I sleep like the dead and Scooter's a sneak, so there's no way I'm letting him run around alone at night, getting into goodness knows what. Some folks can’t see past the furry cuteness of yorkies to realize that they are real responsibilities. We have to do what’s best for them, even when it’s not comfortable for us or them, just like we would do for a child. If your family can't accept that, then just change the subject to something more constructive like...their recent weight gain (just kidding).

I’m sure everything will be fine. I was worried a lot the night before Scooter had his operation, but it ended up being no big deal. Just try to relax and get through it.
