Storm says 'I wasn't broken!'

Storm went in on Monday to get 'fixed'. It all started when he and CJ collided during play and Storm broke a tooth. The vet said it had to come out... so since he was going to get put under anyway we figured there's no better time to take away his manhood.

I gotta say - he really is a trooper. He came home Monday night, a little tired from anesthesia, and he has to wear the 'lampshade'. The vet put gauze around the neck area for tying it on, and Storm had it back off within seconds. A few more times of trying this, Daryl attached Storm's collar to the lampshade... that'll do it!

All day CJ seemed kind of mopey, but when Storm came home he perked right up and the tail started wagging. Much to CJ's dismay Storm wasn't allowed to play.

We placed Storm's kennel near the fireplace for his first night home, the vet said he needs to be kept warm while his body gets the anesthetic out. As soon as we got Storm settled in, CJ went right over to the kennel and laid down by his buddy for quite awhile.
