Ok this is scaring me. I'm pathetic, I know, lol. We are finally getting Reggie neutered. In case you don't now, Reggie is a 9 1/2 year old schnauzer. I've been telling my parents to have it done for years! They don't listen to me (they never do! They think I'm nuts with anything I say about dogs) I promise he has never fathered any puppies, but I still think he should have had this done a LONG time ago! I think he would be healthier, and less aggressive.
He might also be getting his teeth cleaned (yeah that should have been done a long time ago too, they are horrible! Nebo is NOT going to end up like Reggie and Smokey when he's old) and possibly his hernia (sp?) fixed. He's had that since he was a pup, it just looks like a big outie belly button lol. The vet told us a long time ago that it wouldn't be a problem with him, and it never has been, but who knows....
Of course that second paragraph only happens if my parents decide they can afford it. :( They may as well do it now, there's no reason to have him put out twice. There's no way I can pay for it.
I just hope he will be ok.....he's an old dog.....and I know there is a lot more risk involved with a senior dog....So if you want to say a prayer and wish him some good luck, we'd appreciate it. He's sleeping out of his kennel and on my bed tonight. Shh, don't tell! ;)
