Southern: no more balls

Southern is very active. I mean very very active. So as a last resort to calm him down I got him neutered. I am sure Bob Barker would be proud of me. But Southern getting his balls removed did NOTHING for his craziness. I have a friend who had her dog neutered two weeks before Southern and she went on and on about how much her dog changed.  But not Southern. He was running and jumping and barking right out of surgery. The take home paperwork stated no running no jumping etc. And the tech just looked at me and said disregard that hes already done everything on this page and he is just fine. The only request she gave me was to make sure he didn't mess with his stitches.
I even spent 17 bucks on this cone. It only lasted 3 days. But 3 is better than none.
