Tuttle was off to the vet Sunday morning to lose a few little extras that he no longer had need of. I always like to get that neuter surgery done right away, especially in the teenaged dogs, since life is so much easier with a testicle free dog. Along with being neutered Tuttle is also having his rear dew claws removed. They are floppy and set at a weird angle so they could easily catch and tear on things.

He was pretty nervous when I dropped him off - poor boy just got here - and very happy when I returned later in the afternoon to pick him up. After napping to sleep off the anesthesia he was ready to go again and ready for his cone to go as well. Too bad, so sad little guy. Thanks to those rear paw wraps you need to keep it on for awhile.

After walking around a bit he wore himself out again. In fact I think the poor guy is sore, in spite of the pain meds so he got some snuggle time next to foster sister Chima who was very accommodating with this slower, calmer version of Tuttle.
