I could have been a vet...

Ollie is what you would call a typical male. Fighting, eating too much, chasing the ladies, jealous, and aggressive  I finally decided to put an end to this troublesome situation.

Months ago I tried to get a vet to neuter him. I wanted a sedative and painkillers. After back and forth, the vet finally came, but I wasn't there. I got tired of the shenanigans and decided to do it campo style. But my plan was to grab the dog and let the guy do his job while I was far away unable to see. Unfortunately this is not what happened.

I am the only one who can grab my dog without him getting mad. So I did. Then they told me to put him on his back. So I did. Then I had to close his eyes so they could put a y-shaped branch on his neck so he couldn't wiggle his head too much and bite. So I did. All a mistake. Then I had to hold down his chest and grab his back legs while the guy cut. And with my close proximity to the situation I had to look. It was a lot quicker and smoother than I thought it would be. I have never heard a dog cry like that. I honestly didn't know whether to cry or vomit or both. Luckily I did neither, but I did not eat dinner later that night.

Ollie is fine and healing up. He stopped bleeding quickly and has only some minor swelling. They tell me him licking it will heal it.

I helped, but next time I think I'll leave it to the professionals.

Stove Update

We are moving along on the stove front. 10 completely built and 6 bases built with many more work days planned. And 3 stoves already being used!

The process can be slow but seeing results is amazing!
