I’m going to pick him up from the vet in a few minutes. He had “the surgery” today.

If someone did _that_ to me, I wouldn’t be happy to see them.

I just wanted to say I liked the thread title/username combo. 🙂

Sorry, puppy pictures aren’t going to do it for me. Have you got anything in a kitteh picture?

Barley was born in October. He was 49 pounds when he went into the vet this morning.

You will all be happy to know that I placed my order at [http://www.neuticles.com/](http://www.neuticles.com/) today. He’ll never know the difference.

He is so cute; and Barley is a great name for a yellow lab!
