What exactly happens with a "neuter"?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
So I took my little guy in for his neuter yesterday. He's fine, if a bit uncomfortable, but upon inspecting the site of the operation I was quite surprised to see what looked like a single remaining testicle. Now I know this is kind of a perverse question, but I am curious - what exactly happens...

Peeing when excited......
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Our 10 week old English Shepherd, Honey, is peeing whenever someone new touches her and sometimes when my husband comes in and pets her. Will she grow out of it or should I be doing something? I have been trying to tell people to ignore her when she is that excited but some people just don't listen...

So Cherokee ate a pretty large bowl of pure fat, I would guess a pound or more. This is the part when I guess...
