My OH has a blog now. I've just noticed that he's told you about my Obi Dobe! Well Obi dobe bit the next door holiday home cleaner man.I haven't mentioned it on my blog as I'm ashamed of him (Obi that is) and shocked too. He's a big dog but I've never thought of him as being dangerous. After a long chat with cleaner man, I am reassured that the bite was unintentional and it was just over excitement (all the dogs were jumping up at the gate and were definately over-excited having legged it up from the bottom of the field) but that doesn't alter the fact that he did it and he shouldn't have. Apparently, Obi caught his arm, but didn't intentionally grab or hold on.
We've had a very serious discussion since then and feel that Obi deserves a visit to the vet ( not for the dreaded injection, but definitely for the removal of his favourite bits) he's being getting more and more hormonal over the last 12 months, having a bitch in season around the place doesn't help one bit. I think he'll have a much more peaceful life - yes, of course he will!!.

Sounds like a sensible plan to me. You do know that there are prosthetic testicles available, more for the owner than the dog methinks. I upset one dog park acquaintance, when he mentioned that his dog's balls were fake I expressed the opinion that if I were in the market for fake dingly danglies I'd want a larger size.
poor Obi but I'm sure it's the right thing to do.
ER omg that is the USA for you, fake dinglers...whatever next? Are you serious?
I am serious. The owner said it was his wife who wanted her dog to not feel emasculated in front of other dogs. Their dog was a sweet wuss, of a well socialized ridgeback. I think they paid a lot for the operation. I still maintain they were too small.
Sounds sensible to me, Di.
OMG, English Rider - lol!!!!
I'd seen Jim's post and was very surprised, but reckon you have the right of it - over excitement and hormones.
is there not something to be said for having the bitch spayed as well?
not cheap, either op, for big dogs,but might save a lot of grief in the long run!
it's all been said so...... Hugs from me and molly
Fake dingly danglies? Whatever next.....?!! Does he wear them all the time or do they come off at night....?
