Also, thanks for not posting a picture of his "important bits", a guy's got to have some dignity. (Unless your a congressman of course)  |
Haha, yeah, that's a lot of Yorkie! And nary an ounce of fat on him. He's strong. It's like walking a bulldog.
And I try not too take photos of his important bits. Especially since he has two more important bits than I'd like - John refuses to let me get him "altered" unless it becomes medically necessary. Fortunately, Teddy's not exactly the hot-blooded type male so he has no "undesirable behaviors" that would be improved by doing so. I had a talk about it with the vet, and he basically said, "The guy buys your dog steak. Teddy's perfectly healthy and well-behaved. If it really means that much to the man, let your pup keep his nuts." So I lost that battle.
Of course, a friend of mine insists "He'd be so much happier if he was fixed" to which I replied, "If he was any happier, he'd poop rainbows." Even I can't come up with a better reason than that I've always been told it's the responsible thing to do. So, to make up for feeling like an irresponsible pet owner for having an intact male, I am far more vigilant and overprotective than I need to be to insure I never have to pay puppy support.
