Government Shutdown: Day 7

Today was the dog's day of reckoning.  He got neutered for the good of the people.  Due to the shutdown, our vet was to be furloughed at the start of next week as part of government indoctrination into a new form of birth control.  When asked by the vet if he wanted to keep his nuts, the poor dog just said "Woof".  WTF?  You would think it would be higher on his priority list, but I guess not.  It will be government cheese and no more tail from here on out.  God save the Queen!
