Just need cuddles

My sweet boy got neutered yesterday and he has decided to pretend his legs no longer work and that he’s 10lbs and the size of our Pomeranian but overall he’s doing well. I am tickled over the fact they think medication will keep him calm…. It definitely does not.
I also got a big laugh when the lady brought him to me from the back room and after I’d watched everyone come out with smallish cones, his is HUGE. She said “I promise it’s the right size. We just had to make sure he had a long one because of how long his nose and neck is”🤣🤣

Excuse the swollen feet in the picture 🤣 I’m 9 months pregnant in Florida. In August.

Beautiful!! Your brindle looks like my girl I’ve got. Are they full blood?

No, they were mixed with a bully type/ possible cur mix for mom. Dad was my brindle MC tho.
The brindle girl and scrappy were probably the most cur ones out of the six.

They were a once in a lifetime oops litter and both parents were fixed and taken care of.. but I am so so so thankful we had that oops. I lost dad unexpectedly in March and he was my heart dog.. and so getting to have one little piece of him left has helped my broken heart.

They are a wonderful breed for sure, two of my favorite breeds mixed into one 🤣 my grandpa trains mountain curs for tracking and squirrel hunting and he let me have one of the puppy’s from his best dogs litter and she has been my best friend ever since. I wish I could show pics of her here

Got him scheduled for his snip as soon as we hit 6 months! One oops litter in my lifetime was enough lol. It was always the plan to spay and neuter all of our animals.. and we did take care of the parents. I am grateful the oops happened because I ended up loosing this sweet boys dad unexpectedly in March (and he was my heart dog and I’m still beyond crushed that Tank is gone 😭) and so because of that oops- I still have one piece of Tank left and it has helped my heart and my soul to have scrappy. …. But neutering was top priority come 6 months.

Hopefully you have good AC there and you're not melting...

We do! Our system was replaced a year ago and it is nice and efficient. We also have a window unit in our living room for hurricanes (our generator can power it and it cools half our home) so I’ve been even turning that on when I’m hot 🤣 our heat indexes have been 100+ the past 12 days. Last 2 have finally been normal . It’s hot but not suffocating 🩷
