Beau was neutered and microchipped this morning, just a few weeks shy of his first birthday. He's home now, and looking rather pitiful, with his tail folded down tight instead of held jauntily upright as usual.
The first thing he did when we set him on his feet in the house is bend down to lick the stitches, and after trying to divert him for a while, on went a blue inflatable donut collar we borrowed from a neighbor. He's tolerating that for now, but clearly not too happy about it. He's quite obviously tired, and walking slowly and VERY carefully, for which you can hardly blame him.
I know I did the right thing, but that doesn't stop me from feeling very guilty right now.
