So much for castration!

Pup, our trainee assistance dog, was castrated 2 weeks ago, at the age of 9½ months. After a day or so he hardly seemed to notice and it doesn’t seem to have had much impact on his behaviour. His favourite activity when out on a free run, apart from playing with other dogs, is cocking his leg on every clump of greenery or fence post that we pass, and that hasn’t changed at all. At home his after-dinner pastime is **ing his blanket (the word I would have used is apparently not allowed), which he also still does enthusiastically. The only difference in his behaviour that I have noticed is that when our next-door neighbour’s dog breaks into our garden (which she does about once a day) he would previously spend his time bouncing around chasing her and trying to get her to play with him, but now he is constantly doing the same to her as well which he never did before!
