Jack had surgery!

I'm posting this week's Jack update a few days late.

On Thursday, Jack was neutered.  I was worried for him, but he turned out just fine!  He was trying to run around and play the day he got neutered.  He was very disappointed that he had to lay still all day and the day after that.  Poor boy!

When he first got home, Jack was very woozy.  He stretched out beside me as I watched TV and could hardly keep himself awake, even though he was trying.  He'd lift his little head up to watch me, but it would fall backwards and bounce against the couch cushion.

He was so sedated... I enjoyed having the snuggle-bunny Jack I get to have at nighttime during the afternoon, but I did feel bad for him because he wanted to be awake so badly.  He's such a curious little guy.


Later on in the day, Jack grew much more active.  In fact, we had to put him in his playpen because he kept trying to jump off the couch to go wrestle with our other two dogs.

No matter how active Jack became throughout the day, his eyes kept that squinty sedated look.  I felt so bad for the little guy.  He looked so worn out and beaten up.

Being neutered is such a painful ordeal.


I have a question for you, readers.  Our two male dogs: Jack and Buddy have begun a crazy marking war over the last few weeks.  They've been marking all over our house!  We've put the older one, Buddy, in a temporary diaper, but that can't last forever.  Does anyone have experience on this type of thing?  How can we stop this terrible marking war?

I mean, look at what my poor dog has to wear!  It's a travesty.
