Doodle Update, and Speckles

I went to visit Doodle at the vet tonight. He has to stay for a few more days because on Monday he is getting surgery to widen his urethra. Essentially, he is getting a sex change. His penis will be turned into a vagina.

When I first got there he was looking tired and spacey, but he perked up--especially when we introduced him to his cage neighbor Speckles! Speckles is an 8-week-old babycat who was at the vet because she was terribly constipated. They are like two peas in a pod. She couldn't poop, and Doodle couldn't pee. Now they are both on the road to recovery (I hope).
