THEY STOLE MY STEPS AND MADE ME NUTSO It is all this neutering that is causing interminable problems for everyone! I can’t enjoy my long walks. We are averaging 8,000 steps a day.

I wanted to play, run about and tussle but my wants were not transformed into physicality. It was not that I wanted to sleep mind you.
