Yesterday Baloo got neutered (Finally!). I felt so guilty taking him down there. He was so happy that he got to ride in the car, that it made me feel terrible to think that he would have to go through surgery!
When we got to the Vet hospital, people went nuts. Everyone just thought he was the cutest thing ever. Baloo is a super friendly dog too, so it made it worse when Baloo just walked up to the vet techs and showed them his charming wrinkly face. Pretty much the entire front staff left what they were doing (including the poor, sick other dogs!) to come and pet Baloo while making weird kissy faces and talking in a high pitched voice.
All the polynesian ladies kept saying he looked like their husbands. I don't really think that is a compliment to their husbands.
Baloo also had no problem leaving me! They came to prep him for surgery and he just took off with a stranger, no hesitation. This dog will do anything for attention! Who would have thought this thing would be popular!
They called me a few hours later to tell me the surgery went well. The vet also told me that everyone was having such a good time with Baloo. She said that everyone was taking tons of pictures with him and just adored him. When Seth went to pick him up, practically the entire vet hospital staff came out to say goodbye to Baloo. The lady at the front said "Oh no! you're going to take Baloo away from us!" They were so sad to see him leave! Oh, and they even wrote at the bottom of the receipt that they loved him and thought he was such a good patient. This dog is such a stage ham! This celebrity dog has this amazing charm that he is able to cast over people! Usually I can't even take him for a walk without a couple people stopping me and oogling over him. geez. Maybe I should bring Baloo with me wherever I go. Maybe people will be nice and give me free things.
Oh, and Baloo is doing well. He's in some pain, but I have been diligent on giving him his pain medication. He's been drowsy too. I bet he's sad that he's not at the vet hospital anymore, where he is a known celebrity. He probably thinks I'm so boring. Poooooooor Baloo (implied sarcasm).
