You're going to do what??? Neuter!!

Neuter! Jenn says that neutering will be a good thing, particularly after my randy, rowdy behavior over the food holiday. Oh really!! She says that dogs that are neutered:

1. Have reduced desire to roam and mark-I won't want to spread my scent as much (especially around Jenn's mom and dad) or track down females in heat
   
2. Have reduced desire to mount-so I won't bother Big Sandy and the other girls as much
3. Increases concentration-some dogs find it easier to work and learn after neutering
4. Can have decreases in dog/dog aggression-though this varies with the individual
5. Have fewer prostate problems, fewer hernias, and no testicular tumors
   

What neutering won't do:

1. It won't change my friendly, happy personality-I'll still be me
2. It won't make me a wimp-if anything, being neutered will help me avoid situations where other male dogs find me threatening (because of my hormones)
   
3. It won't make me fat-my metabolism will still be high as long as I'm kept active
   

It certainly would be nice to have a clear head and concentrate on other things, like learning new things, making new friends, and earning more clicks and treats. I guess it won't be so bad.
