    The Jury is Back
    The Verdict is In
    Zeus Ordered Out
    Of Gene Pool

    After many weeks of deliberation that threatened to end in deadlock, the jury in the case of Zeus vs. SPCA (The Society Promoting the Castration of Animals) and SPCA-NZ (The Society Promoting the Castration of Animals--Named Zeus) returned its verdict in favor of the SPCA and the SPCA-NZ.

    Upon hearing his sentence, Zeus bravely wagged his tail a little and then settled back to chew on his doggie treat, as if hiding his true feelings.
    Witnesses, who have chosen to remain anonymous, later observed Zeus sniffing and licking his family "jewels" in a poignant moment of impending loss.

    Zeus has refused comment on either the trial or its outcome. Jurists quickly exited and have so far remained unavailable for comment.

    The date of "execution" of the sentence has yet to be set. Inside sources predict the sentence will be carried out by the end of March or the first part of April. Those same sources also report that "the procedure" will include having Zeus's teeth cleaned. Additionally, two baby teeth will be removed, preventing future gum erosion, gum disease, plaque and bad doggy breath.

    Execution of sentence will, of course,require a needle rendering the subject dead to the world, helpless, unaware of his surroundings....

    What does the future hold? Professional sources report that Zeus will not have to worry about siring puppies, nor will he be bothered with worries of testicular or prostate cancers. Overall prognosis? A long and happy life.

    As for the question inquiring minds most frequently ask regarding the future of "marking behaviors," Zeus, once again, had no comment.

      THANK GOODNESS!!

      I bet it will also help ease tensions between Oreo and Zeus, which is probably a good thing since Zeus is destined to remain everyone's littlest brother.

      My hope is that the procedure will finally put a stop to Zeus's marking of the furniture, but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe he’ll also stop that incessant yipping when a stranger enters the room (I’m probably asking for a miracle, huh)?

      I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied that little Zeus has finally “lost his marbles”. Just as long as those same marbles never end up in a jar on the mantle next to Cookie and Tootsie…

      Poor little Zeus. It's for his own good though.

      Happy Birthday!
