Prosthetic Dog Testicles
But not just any artificial dangly bits. According to NPR this evening on the way home, “Neuticles” are (and you can’t make this stuff up) “the Cadillac of Prosthetic Dog Testicles.” Apparently some men are so completely insecure about neutering their pets that they are willing to spend as much as $1000 to replace their pets missing nuts with the equivalent of silicon breast implants.
Grow up, man up, and do like Bob Barker. Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.
And don’t feel the need to replace what you remove. They won’t miss them. Promise.

But, but! The Cadillac!! I can just see the next step. Yes, see.
Eckhm.

This is completely ridiculous. Who is the person that thought of this? And, what would make a person come up with such an idea? This is truley demented.

No, what is ridiculous is demeaning a dogs masculinity by removing what God has given him, without him having a say in it! And how do you know he won’t miss them?, I would most certainly miss mine!At the very least this product allows a dog, a living breathing being, to save their dignity.

[...] lot of those technical posts have been quite successful. Yet at the same time, a post I wrote about prosthetic dog testicles continues to be one of my most popular writings. Not the series I’ve been working on about [...]

To T Gamblin (if he’s around anymore)
“…demeaning a dogs masculinity by removing what God has given him…”[sic]
Not sure if you realize it T, but masculinity is a human concept. Dogs don’t distinguish between masculine and feminine other than in mating. They absolutely know dominance and submission, but that’s sexless. It’s about assertion and not gender. Some pack leaders are female and some are male.
This is anthropomorphizing to a chronic degree. Other than the pain that it may cause during and after the actual castration, being neutered doesn’t affect the male dogs adversely. Actually, the females go through a much more difficult process with spaying, since it’s a hysterectomy and that is a much more traumatic procedure (physically). Once the healing has finished, the dog is back to normal.
And let’s stay away from bringing god into this discussion too. With that logic, you can say that god intended for dogs to breed uncontrollably, creating millions of strays each year, only to end up cremated in pounds and in abusive situations. Baby Jesus wouldn’t want that to happen to all the puppies, now would he?
Prosthetic dog testicles are a severe waste of money, time and effort that only goes to fatten the pockets of unscrupulous vets, and to bolster the weak sexuality of some male dog owners (betcha no women are getting those for their dogs).
To echo c.willetts: “This is completely ridiculous.”
