I have a question for all of you concerning my 8 month old Pyr, Samson
(the love of my life!) He is being neutered tomorrow morning.  Are there
any special things that I should tell my vet, and is there any unusual
behavior that I should expect out of him?  I am taking him in at 
10:00 AM and picking him up at 5:00 PM.  Should I plan to stay home from
work with him the next day?  Will he be in pain?  I have never had a dog
neutered before so I am new to all of this.  Also, he will be 8 months
Oct. 10th and he weighs approx. 90 pounds.  Is this the average?  My vet
is very honest in the fact that he has only treated one other Pyr, but
Samson loves him, and he is a wonderful man,  Thanks for the replies! 

Autumn and Samson sweltering in the Georgia heat!!!!!!!
