Cute Animal Thread

Teddy was neutered a couple of days ago.

As a few of you know, I’ve been working 70-85 hours a week for months. My patience for bullshit is gone.

My wife was horrified at my exchange with the guy at the vet’s office:

Vet Guy: Would you like Teddy to have pain management meds? It’s optional.

Me: Hmmm. I don’t know. Would you like me to chop your balls off without meds!!!!???

Of course he had meds. It was a stupid question.

Here’s the cone head. He’s grown a bit.

What the actual fuck. That's insane... It's optional. Fuck I hate humans.

What the actual duck?! How are pain meds to take home optional? I used to work in a vet clinic and all dogs always went home with pain meds after a spay/neuter. That's the humane thing to do.

Either way, glad Teddy's okay and of course he would super cute in his cone! He's gotten so big! :)
Let's rehash something from months ago. ;) That vet should be throat punched. And then not given pain meds. My only thought is that some dogs do not do well on Tramadol (my old dog HATED tramadol and I hated it for him because it made him miserable).

I hope Teddy is doing great by now.
 
So... A while back I did a thing. I bought a mini lion mane costume and took turns putting in on the small pets.

This is Butters showing that she’s willing to do practically anything for a treat.

This is Archie (vision impaired as a kitten) looking confused but still a good sport.

No pets were harmed (although some egos might be bruised) and plenty of treats were given after costume change.
My arm has just about healed up from when I put Wren (the cat) into her cat carrier to, oh, you know, not leave her behind in a home we were moving out of. I shudder to think what she would do to me if I were to try to put something like this on her just for fun.
 
Over the weekend we took our pups on a walk to let them play off leash in an empty baseball field. They must have recently sprayed something because Butters (pictured below) had an allergic reaction after eating some of the grass and rolling around in it. :cry: She's doing better after some benadryl, a bath, washing all their bedidng, and some rest. But I was not okay when my husband pointed out "her face looks weird" but thankful I knew what to do.😅

Her face does look weird, but....where's the swelling?

Whoa! Glad you're healing well. I got lucky both our cats are super chill and affectionate. They let us handle them a lot without issues. The only one that can sometimes be a hazard is Archie the blind-ish cat because he plays rough and likes to bunny kick a lot. My husband's hands got tore after a wrestling match with him.
 
Had to put my little man down last week and am missing him hard. Brought him to his favorite spots and he got all his favorite treats on his last day.

Here's a pic of him eating string cheese on the lakefront on our stroller walk

I feel your pain, been there a few times, but the memories and joy these animals bring is worth the, somewhat, short time we get to spend with them.
