NOTE FROM SANDRA:
Think you’ve got what it takes to joke with the big dogs?
Oh yeah? Then send a 5-item list on any pet-related topic
to Top5Pets@topfive.com. If it makes the dog’s tail
wag and the cat doesn’t bury it in the litter box
we’ll add you to our kennel of regular contributors.
Now for this week’s topic… Responsible pet owners
recognize the importance of spaying or neutering yet
discussing the subject makes many people — and no
doubt a lot of pets — a weensy bit squeamish.
So we here at Top5 Pets thought we’d help out by suggesting…

7> Aroma Therapy

6> Raising the low-rider

5> Catsnip

4> Losing your balls under the sofa. Forever.

3> You’ve got no male

2> Two balls, one strike

and the Number 1 Euphemism for “Getting Fixed”…

1> Visiting Hillary
