Remember Have Your Pets Spayed and Neutered
The time has come to have Henry's tiny little testes clipped off. I feel a bit uncomfortable with this, each time I think about it my own "junk" pulls protectively closer to my body, but I know it is the right thing to do.
Plus my barcelona chairs are begging me to have him declawed.
When I went through all of this with Frank it was horribly traumatic, for me. I even arranged to have someone else take him to the vets, so that he would not somehow connect me with this awful experience. I picked him up, acting all appalled over what had been done to him. It really was a moment.

Taking my girls for their 'operations' was also quite traumatic for me. When we picked them up from the vet, they looked miserable, and of course, it was all my fault. I stayed home with them the following day, and I remember thinking: "I've ruined them." It broke my heart when one of them lept at the couch and then fell right off because she didn't have her claws... But, they bounced back, as will Henry.

I read this before my morning coffee, and for the life of me couldn't understand why you would have to neuter him.. got on the track at "declaw" again. Was scary.
