Re: [PyrNet-L] Help: Mounting

I respect your opinion and agree, but Cindy had asked for one more litter,.
I plan on having him neutered soon...... only problem is that Sam is going
first because of the entropian surgery- we are doing entropian + spaying at
the same time to cut down on the anesthesia for him.  I can't afford to do
both dogs at the same time- Barney will hopefully go next month.  In the
meantime.........
