Yes, resposible multidog owner who has made that pronouncement more than once. BTW, would have been much cheaper if I could have gotten the vet to do it vs an OB/GYN;)
Speaking as a veterinarian with clips on her Fallopian tubes, it is not the same thing. A spay involves removal of the ovaries and almost all of the uterus. If my OBGYN had removed all that from me, I would have gelded him...without anesthesia.
I know this is a super old posting, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that comes to the blog as a new reader and reads way back.
I had to reply, because this reminded me of when I was a kid. I can't remember how old I was, but I started bugging my mom asking for a younger brother or sister. Eventually my mom told me it was impossible, could never happen. I asked why, and she said my dad had surgery so that he couldn't have any more kids. So I went to school and told all my friends that my dad was neutered.
Responsible pet owner.
ReplyDelete:) Yep, sounds like a vet.
ReplyDeleteER's Mom here:
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!!!!
I agree wholeheartedly...AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMe too -- AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI was 28 when I had it done so always tell people I have been spayed,it usually gives me enough time to walk away before they ask why :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone listened to bob barker. . .
ReplyDeleteYES! I call it that, too.
ReplyDeleteI usually ask my friends who say they are done having kids which one is going to the vet. It is cheaper than going to a human doctor.
ReplyDeleteDid you reply, "Bark like a Dog!" In a Carl Spackler voice?
ReplyDeleteJust as long as she doesn't say her husband's been neutered.
ReplyDeleteI say it all the time, when asked what my job title is I write down "Domestic Engineer." It's for my own entertainment.

ReplyDeleteOh come on.... it's ovariohysterectamey.... :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Can'tSpell, DVM. You can't spell ovariohysterectomy, or oophorohysterectomy for that matter. I can, though.
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me, patient needs a lip suction job, for word use control,
ReplyDeleteperhaps coupled with front lobe reprogramming.
