Hi ladies and gents

I know I have been MIA but I have been extremely busy with school and work (both full time). I am in my senior year of college so the classes right now are very hard, eh. But its all for the better right?

Anyways.. Armani is now at 8 1/2 months, 5.5lbs, cute as a button

Potty trained to what I say is a whopping 99% lol. He is spunk of energy!!!!!!!! Anyways I finally found a vet who I adore and next friday we are going in for all of the blood draw and pre app for Armanis neuter (Which I have been putting off, as I was hoping his second testicle would drop and it didnt). Anyways this vet is great, answered all my questions and is working with me on prices (he understands I am college student, why CANT the credit card companies understand?

) I am scared for the surgery, but I know its necessary. Anyone else have any experience with retained testicles, please let me know, lets start a support group!!! LOL

I had a toy poodle for 13 years and neither one of his testicles ever dropped. He was quite small so the vet said neutering would be major surgery. We decided not to neuter him and he lived a long, beautiful life with us with no health problems related to the undropped testicles at all. Good luck!

Armani is 5.5lb (the breeder said he would only be 4lb so he is a hearty eater lol) but o well more to love right?? The vet says that with his size, surgery is not really a problem. I am also gonna have him tested for liver shunt, he has no symptoms, is at a good size, eats like crazy and is constantly active, but I think the paper will reassure me regardless!!!! And the vet is gonna run the test as part of armani's pre surgery draws, isn that nice
