Over before it began.....

Another letter came in the mail...... this one was to inform us that Bucky's presence was requested at the neuter clinic. Unfortunately, his career in the Breeding Colony was over before it began. 

Bucky is, or I should say, WAS, cryptorchidism. I won't embarrass Bucky by saying too much, but I did spell it correctly so you can google it and check it out yourself. We've been monitoring it since November, and alas, it never dropped.

Bucky's surgery was a bit more complicated, but, he came through like a trooper. He's none the worse for wear, and still just as handsome and sweet as ever.

He has been sporting a nice new "Elizabethan Collar". He works the pathetic look very well. Fortunately, he's been really good about not licking his surgery, so he hasn't had to wear the cone too much. 

I've told Bucky its really not a big deal. John says that's easy for me to say - since I'm not a guy and can not relate. Guys tend to be sensitive about these things.... 

But had Bucky been part of the Breeding Colony he would not have picked his own dates anyway - they would have all been computer matches looking for specific genetic traits. 

So on the bright side.... Bucky has been spared the horrors of computer dating!
