I hope you and your dog are having a fantastic summer! This month has been exciting, emotional, and inspiring. From the overwhelmingly positive response, reviews and sell-out of JointButter to mind opening discussions on hormone-sparing sterilization and Pax’s transformation there is so much to share!
I was just thinking today, while watching Pax swimming, running and having fun, that early this year, I almost lost hope for his recovery.
But if you know me, you know that I hate giving up on challenging issues. I am grateful for his recovery but for also guiding me to discovering the latest research on this topic which is only two to three years old.
Just imagine how many dogs are traditionally spayed and neutered every day. How many issues we can help with alternative sterilization techniques such as vasectomy and ovary-sparing spay?
Remember, we can help one dog at a time.
For example, a few days ago, Pax and I were out on a morning walk and met Barbara and her dog Sadie.. We started chatting and I asked Barbara if her dog was spayed. Coincidentally, her surgery was scheduled for next week and after she learned about the benefits of preserving Sadie’s hormones, she will be looking into hormone sparing spay.
These little moments make me happy!
