I just want to thank all of you who have posted such good information about neutering. I went to the vet today armed with a list of questions before I would set his appointment. He had his blood screening done, and I know just what to expect Friday. The vet laughed and said he was amazed that [I] knew so many questions to ask! I also told them I would wait with Sawyer until they take him back to prep for surgery, no dropping him off at 8 so he could sit in a cage until they get to him around 9:30. They said it might be a long wait, but I told them i will just read, and hold my boy. I am not leaving until he is out of surgery, and then I will be there when he wakes up. I love all of you guys, I would be a nervous wreck tonight; but I feel confident that I have done everything to insure this is a safe procedure. I took a few pictures of my boy to share with you. Thanks again for all you do
