That pic was taken by a doc at the animal hospital. When he sat and smiled at her, she had to take a photo.
We thought he'd benefitted from cross/species transfer of the norovirus we had on the last day of our trip ~ coming out of both ends...
But when I realized he was peeing blood, I skipped the regular vet and went straight to the serious facility. An xray showed an enlarged and/or mis-shapen prostate with what could be either an infection or something worse, like a tumor.
Got him on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, but not going to rush into their instructions to have his balls cut off.
If follow ups with the regular vet show improvement with the antibiotics, I'll probably let him keep them. If it's cancer, I'll do what I have to.

Manny was born in November of 1016. My son brought him home at 5 weeks. It was his decision not to neuter, and after he died the next July, I honored his choice. Compared to my previous male dogs, two German Shepherd Dogs, two Brittany Spaniels, and a Boston Terrier, all cut, Manny shows no tendency to get lazy and fat, stays muscular, and has tons of energy. Hormones are for more than reproduction.

Since then, I have endured countless suggestions to have him cut.
Veterinary school obviously teaches an activist view toward intact dogs. But that's because there are a lot of irresponsible pet owners out there.

He is acting more like himself after starting the meds, so we'll see. Like I said, I'll do it if neccessary, but would rather not.

Nice pristine Bowie Stockman, Lance. I don't see the usual crack below the center pin!😎

For the first time in 43-years, our home is empty. This past week, "Utah" the doxie has not felt well. Late yesterday we took her to our Vet and she said there was no coming back for "Utah" so Cindy and I made the difficult decision to put her down. She has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Hopefully, we can find an older rescue dog. Cindy is beside herself. Neither of us got much sleep last night - our bedmate was absent. No knife pictured this morning but I'm carrying the Case Jack I carried yesterday. Don't feel like breakfast. We'll most likely go to the Wagon Wheel Cafe later for something to eat.

So sorry to hear about Utah, Modoc. That's always a difficult decision. Enjoy your memories of her.
 
Mmmm, coffee.

Carruthers is a new one to me because I don't get out much, but I sure dig that belt knife!

Wait just a minute Mr Harry. Assemblage calls for an SAK or Scout knife. Or a TL-29.

I guess you are right Jeff , but it took almost as long to get it un-packed as it took to put together .
Sorry about Manny . I just pray that he gets better .
