No-mo'-bits Mobitz

Well we did it. We turned our puppy into a dog, ironically. The decision to neuter Mobitz was not made without a lot of flip flopping, both before and after the big deed. I never thought I'd get so attached to a dog but I did. And when I left Mobtiz in the hands of the vet I kept wondering whether we were doing the right thing. But in the end, Mobitz is no less of a dog. We decided against neuticles, though I'm certain I'm the only one who actually seriously considered it. And in the end, I miss his bits.

Cap'n Mobitz

Mobitz got his second full grooming this weekend. It seems our pup likes to keep us on our toes. He came back with one very swollen, red, and teary eye. As you can see in this pic, although it's better, he certainly does favour it closed.

We also changed up his food a bit, gradually introducing the new food but we're not quite sure if it's making a difference. He just doesn't seem that interested in his food anymore. But he is certainly not starving. Maybe he had too much chicken yesterday?

Well next weekend Mobitz will hopfully graduate from puppy school. It will be a big week for Mobitz as he will go for major surgery to get his bits off. He'll stay at the vet's overnight. I'm hoping he'll do well with it. I'd be lying if I didn't say it is going to make me nervous to send him off to be with people he doesn't know, after big surgery but everyone has to grow up sometime, me included!

Stay tuned for updates on how Mobitz does with his surgery. Poor boy!!!
