Bode's a 'new' man

Our little guy recently became a 'new' man...he got his parts clipped:( Poor little Bode got neutered last month....and he actually did great with the surgery. I was prepared for the worst since Bayley chewed his stitches out when he got neutered but Bo didn't even mess with his incision once. I think he ignored it because we threatened to put on the big E collar if he did. Here's a pic from the night before his surgery...I was getting the evil eye from both my boys!

We were on our way to get neutered and Bode thought we were going to the dog park...I lied just to get him in the car....I probably shouldn't do that sort of thing with Maryn, right?
Here he is when we brought him home....he looks stoned because he actually was. The dog acted drunk well into the next morning. Needless to say it was a relaxing night for us while Bode layed passed out on the floor...no games of tug o war, fetch, etc...


Just relaxing on his bed that he inherited from his big brother.....he was not pleased with me for lying.



He looked so pitiful!!

He has healed perfectly...barely a scar..and the best part is that it has actually calmed him down a ton. He's like a new dog...he lays down next to the couch at night and chews his bone....he's stopped jumping and humping (or hugging as we call it) as much, and is just overall a more mellow creature! We started school again...he's taking Real Life 101 which prepares him to act sane in public. We meet every Saturday for 6 weeks in public places around the city such as the aquarium, county parks, and Marion Square downtown....he's got 3 months to be the 'perfect' dog....countdown begins...now!
