Rat: Well, Goat, I've got to go. I'm getting my person pet neutered. Goat: Gee, he seems to be taking it really well. Did you explain what the procedure is? Rat: I told him it's like getting a beer, only worse. Goat: That's slightly misleading. Rat: And you'll come home lighter!

Rat doesn’t have the b@lls to tell him the truth.

This pet just gave birth to a litter. “Coming home lighter” may not be the issue. Make sure to give him the beer anyway, or he won’t trust you in the future.

Rat is doing the proper thing with his pet, if a bit late. It’s just a pet! (?)

Cartoon scene; two dogs on a street-corner, one says; “They took me in, they loved me, petted me, gave me a warm home and bed and good food. Then they cut my nuts off!”

I sometimes wonder why dogs don’t hate us. But in fact, they not only don’t seem to mind, they don’t even seem to notice. Considering where they can lick, you’d think they’d at least notice. Or wonder why it didn’t take as long as it used to in order to clean themselves.BTW, decades ago, I read a novel in which a character wanted to get her male sheepdogs a vasectomy instead of neutering them, but couldn’t find a vet to do the procedure. Why isn’t that an option?

Well, he could either be neutered the traditional way or he could have a simpler procedure where they only have to make a couple of snips. Not sure which procedure is worse, but I do know that there is a vas deferens between the two.

Now they take everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!!! So this pet is going to be in for a shock when he comes to after the operation of being bobbettized.

Okay, now you have my dog looking at me strangely, trying to figure out why I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
