Today Gixxer had his neuter surgery. The rescue rep sent me an email at 5 am to remind me. You'd think it was her son having the operation! I thought it was cute anyway. She emailed me again after she picked him up. She said everything went well and he also had his 3 year rabies shots. Apparently the only complication that might arrive is excessive bruising, in which case Gixxer will need antibiotics. I will keep my fingers crossed that Wednesday will still be the big Gotcha Day.

Rescue rep also mentioned that Gix weighs "only" 9 pounds. That's small for an IG, but I looked it up and it's still within the range of 7-15 lb. I wonder how he will measure up next to my 15 lb. cat? It's lucky the big boy likes doggies...
