- I was always worried I was neutering too early, for the pet store I
- bought Dink from didn't know his exact age. However, I figured if he
- was humping everything in sight, he was sexually mature...
-
- I must have gotten to him in time, although early, for he never
- sprayed (that I know of, and judging from his litter box when I get
- lazy and don't keep it nice and new, I'd know...).
-
- But you know something funny? He's CRAZY over stuffed animals. He
- LOVES them. He'll drag them around, dig at them, snuggle with them,
- hide them, you name it. We moved our water bed, which at the head,
- has a hole to get in between the two pieces of the drawers, and when
- we moved it, there were a bunch of little stuffed animals in there.
