Default FX3 Shocks

Well, my shocks are shot and finally I started to work again (was laid off for a while...) and decided I was going to splurge.
Then, after visiting the vet, my wife tells that the vet suggested that we neuter our puppy, a 4 months old maltese named "Tino" (my 3rd maltese died about 2 months ago).
So, I weigh relative importance between removing Tino's nuts vs. new shocks for my other baby - ZR-1.
Yes. Tino will keep his nuts!

Well, it was either new shocks for the ZR-1 or a new shock for Tino

Well. He is very tiny. We are talking "micro surgery". Perhaps that's why it's so expensive. We are talking about removing a pair of nuts about size of a grain of barley each.

Find a framer close by. He probably has the experience to solve your Tino problem in a heartbeat. As a kid growing up on a farm my dad and I could do about 25 piglettes in less than as hour. I clamped their head between my legs and held their rear legs apart on my belly so dad could cut out the rocky mountain oysters. Hope I don't get kicked off because my disgusting post has nothing to do with the charter of this forum

Thats what my grandfather use to do to the male cats on the farm. Just roll them up in a piece of carpet. Their head would be sticking out one end and their jewels out the other and cut them off with a knife and let them loose.
