NEW POST
Ok so I have had a request for a new post. And to be honest I have had nothing interesting to say lately. So I will just ramble today.
My dear beloved Albert, will be having surgery on monday....on his birthday. He will be having his manhood striped away and a teeth cleaning. Yes, I know he's a little old to be neutered now, but I really had no reason to do it because he was NEVER around female dogs nor did he ever roam the neighborhood in search of them. There are NO female dogs in a neighborhood. So, after I found out he could have a higher chance of prostate cancer we decide to take away his stud stature. We were going to do it last year but then he ruptured a disc and was paralyzed. And to make a long story short, we are doing it now. After his 4 hour surgery to repair his back I am a little paranoid about this little routine surgery. Albert will be fine, it's me I'm worried about. It's hard to believe he won't be a stud anymore....oh, how they grow up so fast. At least he'll have clean too. My poor baby also has gingivitis so we will have that taken care of too. He's really gonna love me after all this. I keep trying to tell him that it's for his own good but he jusy won't listen. He is going to be so pissed at me come monday morning. He has an excellent vet so he'll be ok, right? I have given his vet strict orders to be in the bed by 9:00 so he will be bright-eyed and bushy tailed for my baby's castaration. Ooooh, that is such a horrible word...castration. Have you noticed yet that I am pretty freaked about this? Ya'll can send prayers or good vibes my way because I am really gonna need them, I'm scared! I am including some of my favorite pictures of my boy.
This a photo of Albert after his back surgery. He had 13 staples and of course, they had to shave all that long, flowing, beautiful hair.
I will definately update on Monday to let you all know how the surgery went and to post MORE Albert photos. Aren't ya'll just the luckiest. Ok now that I think about it this was a rather interesting post wasn't it? Now everyone knows about my boy being having his manhood taken away. I need to get a life...but, Albert is my life.
Also I want to say my friend Katie's dad has passed away. Katie, my heart goes out to you and your family. I will continue praying for all of you.




Awwwwwwwwww, hugs! I don't like mine to need surgery, either. I will say a prayer that you both do OK.

Once a stud always a stud!!!! Guess all you need to do after he comes back home is lay down and hold him. get a couple of great movies or a book. Sokee loves to lay at my feet when I scrap. She is so adorable!
You have lots to share! Look at me I thought the same thing before I started my blog...hee heee heeee. Been having fun with it and love all the friends who live far away that contact me and tell me to keep it up.
take care till next time I visit

I know how you feel about Albert. I feel the same way about my baby, Baby. Baby didn't get spayed until she was about 9 years old due to future health concerns... she also got her teeth cleaned at that time too. She still loved me afterwards!

Awwww I wish Abbie and Albert would have met before I had her spayed...they would have had the most stunning babies ever. Abbie and her mommy send love, hugs and all kinds of wonderful vibes you way. Abbie will be sending a love note, birthday card, and good wishes to her man.
