Thor with a little less roar

Thor got neutered today, and vaccinated, and microchipped, and checked for heartworms (I need to check on the result of that one yet). It was a big day for him but he handled it all very well. Of course, the drugs help a lot. 

When I dropped him off this morning he was friendly to the vet tech who took him in, tail was wagging and he went with her willingly. No sign of the frightened boy we had received just a few days ago. When I picked him up this afternoon they said he had done very well, was friendly and cooperative. He hopped into the back of the van where there's a nice dog bed but he just sort of plopped down where he landed, still feeling the effects of the anesthesia. 

We stopped and Green Dogs on the way home because Erika hadn't had the chance to meet him yet. He was more awake by that time but still mellow enough that he sat nicely for pictures and we both got some really good shots of him with the sunlight making his coat shine. 

Thor hadn't been eating our food yet, at least not much, but in the evening I gave him a small amount with his pain pill and small amount of canned food and he cleaned it all up. 

Now he just needs an adopter. I can report that he's fine being crated at night or when left alone indoors during the day. He hasn't come upstairs yet, apparently stairs are new to him, and I haven't pushed it because he has a nice crate downstairs in the kitchen and we have plenty of dogs upstairs already. 




He was friendly with Erika and the youngest Proctor.

A big day for all concerned.

Such an expressive face he has! He looks loopy in the top photo, understandably so.
