Gonna be a rough day

Today I received confirmation of the dreaded Neuter day for Cracker Jack. Tomorrow, Friday, is the when he has his scheduled surgery appointment. I know he'll get over it, but for me personally, it's never a fun day at the vet when this has to happen.

To make matters worse, we have to be at the vet at 8am. This is not good considering that Jack has followed my lead and not going to sleep until well past 2am or so. (Yes, I know that's bad, but I always work late into the night and I can't force Cracker Jack to go to bed when he'd rather play) And we normally don't wake up until 9am.


Even now, it's almost 10pm and just like clockwork, Cracker Jack is jumping around (more like hopping or bucking) running around from room to room, from chair to chair and from bed to couch. With my luck, he's gonna hurt himself the way he running and playing right now, and then I'll have to face the vet tomorrow trying to explain his injuries.

Of course knowing that he was to "not to get excited or be active" while he recovers from his surgery and stitches, which they say is about 10 days, we've been playing around all day. As usual, we hung out with some other dogs  playing in the recently discovered private dog area. So at least we made the most of this day.

PS.... Please don't anybody think I disagree with neutering. I am definitely a proponent of it.
