I have a week off without my youngest son. Balls of fun, right? Yeah, except I have so much to do I’m stuck with what-do-i-do-first-itis. You know that feeling, right?
So I was going to sit down and start reading SoCS posts this morning with my coffee. But then I thought, I don’t really want to do that before I write my own, because then I’ll know what everyone else is writing about and I’ll try to avoid those topics. And how many topics can you come up with from the word, “ball”? I suppose there are a few.
Like the puppy’s, for instance.
I’m thinking about getting him neutered. He’s started humping on a daily basis, pretty much anything he can get his front legs wrapped around. Which is natural. But before it gets to be too much I’m going to have to make a decision. I still have time – he’s only four and a half months old. But I hesitate, first, because he’s already been through major surgery and I don’t want to put him through it again, and second, because he’s such a good-natured, laid-back animal that I think the world deserves more like him. Would I find anyone who would want to mate their bitch with him? He who is a mix of beagle, possibly basset hound, and only god knows what else? Maybe not. I should probably look into classifieds for that sort of thing. But who would look for stud services and where would they look? Craigslist comes to mind…
Dating sites for dogs?
I can see it now: Bitch wanted. Must have shots.
Stud Muffin for hire – his name is actually Muffin.
Wanna get lucky tonight? Look at these puppies.
Well-hung and energetic. What? I was talking about my jowls?
Wanted: tail. Prefer long and fluffy.
Okay, you get the picture. We’re here ’til Thursday. Try the veal. Milk bone for dessert…
I’m off to read SoCS posts next. You can participate in Stream of Consciousness Saturday too! Just click here for details, and to read the rules: https://lindaghill.com/2016/03/11/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-march-1216/ If you join in I’ll read yours too!

You are so funny. In US you don’t get much choice. They are neutered before you get them unless you get them privately through an owner. My one pug still humped everything even after he was neutered. 🙂

I’d probably wait awhile longer, seeing he just recovered from the last surgery. Later on, he will want to roam, so keep close tabs on him. We had our AKC Bassett Hound bred with a stud, long ago. I think a friend knew of someone who had the male for hire. Good luck with Winston!

Is there an age limit for that sort of thing for animals?
I waited and my cat hasn’t been operated on. Wondering if I am too late now.
I know what you mean about the SoCS thing. I don’t like to start reading until I’ve written mine, but today I made an exception with yours.

Thank you, Kerry. It was the title that grabbed you, wasn’t it. haha.
I don’t know if there’s an upper age for animals to be neutered or spayed but I do know they don’t like to do it too early. Apparently it can cause complications.

Winston is adorable, but I still think you should have him neutered – otherwise he might disappear some day when he smells a bitch in heat on the next block. (Kind of like a teenager, right? but you can’t get a teenaged boy neutered.)

Neutering of a teenage boy can only be done by the father of the teenaged girl that boy wants to date. I hear a dull axe works well.
