If you know me well enough, then you know that I would personally not fix Cookie. Not that I want to contribute to overpopulation but I feel bad for making him go through the surgery. However, seeing as how it is a law in California I had to. I feel bad for the poor fellow. I am quiet sure it is very painful & he is acting like a champ. He did cry the first day I got him back. I’ve been keeping a close eye on him. Hope his wound heals & he recovers well. Love you Cookie monster! Now, I can take him on hikes, trips & to the dog parks!
