Now I done it

In hindsight maybe changing his food the day before, what must be, a very traumatizing experience for a 6 month old pup, was not my finest decision.

Castration log (Or Jackalog):

May 30, 2005 4:25 Pm, Bring Jackal for run to wear him out before he is cooped up for 24 hours at Vet.

5:00 Feed Jackal full, large can of meat in gravy, a nice treat before going for the big cut, besides, he is out of the regular stuff.

5:01 A voice inside says to me (as Jack is lapping up the last bit of gravy from his dish), maybe feeding him some greasy meaty bits froma can was a poor strategy when his system isn't used to anything but dry food. Nah, he'll be fine.

5:02 Wife re-itterates the above sentiments, with slight use of profanity to characterise the play (I'm dubbed dumass for the day).

5:23 Drop Jackal off at clinic. He is going to spend night. Have uneasy feeling over the size of his cage. Technician suggests dogs will not mess a small space if they have to sleep there.

5:40 I go home, a little sad and worried for his well being.

Spend the rest of the evening playing baseball and pining.

May 31, 2005 6:30 AM Wake up and go to gym. Think to self, Jackal must be asleep still. But he'll need to pee soon, like he does at home.

8:10 Arrive to work late. Forgot lunch.

9:10 Suspicions confirmed and theory of small space for bladder control disproved. Jackal has "diahrea'd" the space and slepd in the funk.

Telephone call transcript:
" Hello Jeremy, it's Doctor (so and so), Jackal is fine, does he have diahrea at home?
No...
Well he had a bit of an accident last night, and we wanted to make sure before we operate.
Hmm, not normally.... Oh damn, we (me) fed him some new stuff right before we (me) brought him in.
Okay, that combined with the stress probably caused it. We'll go ahead with the operation.
Thanks Doc, oh, be gentle!
Guffaw! (laughing) we will!"

Everything South of the ribcage is gonna be a little sore buddy! Maybe it will take his focus of the pain of having his fun stuff tampered with.

Eeyore is here and the way he tells the story he makes me seem like some kind of idiot!
