So, today is finally the day. I dropped Hank off at the vet’s this morning to be neutered.

Hank conveniently got diarrhea the day before his last scheduled appointment, so we had to put it off for a while. I knew it had to be done soon since he’s starting to get picked on by other dogs in the dog park. He’s not marking at all, but he does occasionally try to hump people. It’s awkward.

Dogs get neutered all the time, and I never thought it would phase me, but I suddenly have a wave of nervousness for him. There are instances where dogs have adverse reactions to anesthesia… it’s rare, but it can happen. I’m sure he’ll be fine. But I can’t help my fears, right?
