Introducing Murray

This is Murray, our new dog. After we put down our beloved Mickey (see earlier post), we welcomed him into our home and hearts. He is a 'ShiCon', possessing his own unique, and funny personality. He is for the most part, oblivious to everything around him, focusing only on his own need for play and attention. We now pretty much live in 'his world'!

Yesterday was not the best day for Murray....It was his turn to do what we ask of all our canine and feline family members....get neutered or spayed. It is in our opinion, the responsible thing to do, so that we do not add to the population of our community's animal shelters, many whom face certain death.

Murray made us proud. He was a real 'man' about it, and came through remarkable well, albeit a bit sore.

This got me thinking about the whole idea of neutering males. Really it isn't such a bad idea! How well do you think Murray's human counterparts would recover from such an operation? Considering that the common cold can keep some of them complaining for days on end, and that the process of birth was never even a consideration!

Back to the idea of human neutering...It would help to solve the number of fatherless children, families on welfare, the court's voluminous cases of unpaid child support.....the list here is endless!

Also, there is something I could ponder over endlessly, if neutering male canines lends them to wonder off less, following the 'scent of a woman', would that be true of men as well? Ahhhh....woman the world over be jumping all over it! 'My cheating husband, fixed forever'!

Think how many marriages could be saved! Of course men have been having vasectomies for eons, but that does nothing to curb their desire to hunt for the female.

Please know that I am not a man hating woman, I just got to thinking !!!
