    LOL #10! Good one!!

    I had a funny experience when I worked for a vet in California. Apparently this situation is quite common, which really surprised me.

    So, for a little bit of background - one of our vets was a real jokester. He liked to play jokes on all of us staff and he also liked to do things for "shock value" - like eat something really gross like feces and one time he had a vet tech stick up his finger sans pain killer.

    Anyway, I was answering phones up front when I got a call and there was this guy with a really thick country drawl who asked "I'm bringing my dog in to get neutered, but wanted to find out if I could get him implants because I'm really particular about the way my dog looks." I was like...Seriously? I could have sworn it was our vet playing a prank on me because who wants to implant fake balls on their dog? I put the guy on hold, and asked the other receptionist who had worked there forever about this and she calmly pulls out a book where we can order such implants...size, weight, material...the works! I couldn't believe it!

    Oh yeah, Neutices are big thing over here (no pun intended). You know, though....a vet I used to work for has used nauticles to talk several reluctant guys into neutering their pets, so they're OK by me. When the Neuticles rep came by my clinic, a few of us got keychains with cat prosthetics on them, they were a hoot!!
