Our little puppy Gizmo is now about 6 months old, and we’ve been marveling at what a handsome young man he’s become. But yesterday, he had his appointment for his, um, fixing. He handled it like a trouper, and we haven’t noticed any behavior changes, positive nor negative. We’re happy the little guy is ok,
