Is that a euphemism?

Apparently, on Friday this week I am going to the vets to have 'The Snip'.

I have a suspicion, based on the way Gail looked at me when she said it, that 'The Snip' is not quite the trivial and benign affair she is trying to make out.

My suspicions were deepened when I overheard Gail telling a neighbour that I am currently "All male. Perhaps a bit too much so."

Moving quickly on to more agreeable matters. On Sunday I met up with my Aberdeenshire Foxie pals at Forvie Nature Reserve, and we had a glorious romp through the sand dunes, onto the beach and back along the Ythan estuary (steering well clear of the large seal colony which resides that the point where the estuary meets the sea).. 

By the way, I think I am just exactly the right amount of male....

  1. What a fun day you had with your WFT pals - and what a beautiful place for running along the sands.
    Never mind Nobby, after the "snip" you can insist on lots and lots of treats!
    Love,

    PeeEss...We aren't sure why, but Mama said something about "a whole different kind of Nature Friday" you could do about your "snip". Thanks for helping her giggle(tho we aren't sure what's so funny)!
