Good thoughts for Campbell please
He is getting neutered tomorrow which isn't too big a deal for healthy dogs but due to his heart he had to wait until he was stabilized on the heart meds and they had a team of specialists with a set plan on how to safely put him under. So we could really use some 'every thing goes well for the...
