@madsmooney1214 Neuter a dog? Hey, it’s your top ten, who am I to question?

^^ Maybe dog balls are similar to rocky mountain oysters. Just sayin’

@madsmooney1214 I once helped to neuter a cat – it was a feral cat on a farm that I used to spend a lot of time on. I was one of the few people this cat would allow near so it was my job to catch and hold it while the vet delivered the anaesthetic and did the deed.

I once had a calf neutered. I was in school though, so I wasn’t actually present when the deed was done. But it was my calf, although we didn’t have the guts to make Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Odd, because knowing this animal made me squeamish about that, but not, later on, about eating its flesh. My sister, however, never did taste any of that beef. It was really good.
