Vaccination and Castration -218

At the end of every episode of The Price is Right, Bob Barker would always say, "Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered!" After being prompted by James to get Black Angus fixed and confirming that he could stay, I set up an appointment to get him immunized and and castrated today. I had to borrow a pet carrier from a professor because I didn't have one. I felt so bad for him. Last night I locked him in the garage to keep him from eating anything. Then I locked him into the carrier. Next I put him in a car, which he hated. Followed by turning him over to people who stole his manhood. I know it's for the better, but I don't think he is going to like me tomorrow.

Luckily, I can say that I have no stories for the last 3 years about castration. I do have a funny story about immunizations. Well not immunizations I guess, still a shot though. My sophomore year I had a really bad cold or allergies that I couldn't get over. So I went across the street to the clinic. They told me I needed a steroid shot. Little innocent me rolls up my sleeve. The nurse looks at me with a disappointed look and shakes her head. "What?" I ask completely clueless about the impending doom. "Turn around and pull your pants down." I was ready to leave as soon as she said that. I tried to convince her that I would probably get better soon and didn't need the shot after all. There was no way around it though. She was determined to give me that shot. I was mortified as I pulled down just one side of my pants half way trying to keep as much of my rear end covered as possible. To her it was just another butt to stab a needle in. To me, it was the first person to see my butt in over 10 years! The shot hurt a bit, and it helped me get better. But next time I will probably just try some vitamin C and lots of water or something.
