She'll Never Be A Woman Now
Okay, that's mainly because she's a dog. But Aida, my wee Chinese Crested, got spayed today. I was nervous as hell, but it's a routine procedure and we have a wonderful, careful vet, and all went well, and we just brought her home. She's curled up now on a very soft bed on my lap.
Here she is the other day just standing around looking elegant -- one of her habits. You can't see it, but she has one paw sort of elevated.
So she is no longer a bitch and will never be a dame.
So you're just going to have to deal with her. :-p

Snuggles and kisses for Aida, poor sweetie. Even though you know it has to be done, it's hard, and the waiting is awful.
Our fox terrier milked it for all she was worth when she got spayed. We'd ask 'where does it hurt, Tiffy?' and she'd roll over and show us her belly. Crept around the house like she was feeling terrible, hardly left the couch. After about 10 days we called the vet, she didn't seem to be getting better. His advice was 'Throw a ball and see what happens'. Well little Miss Tiffany Louise FLEW off the couch after that ball. Little twerp...
:-D
I hope Aida feels great soon!

What's the object in the upper right corner? Some kind of exercise machine?

Depends on how you define "woman"? It seems to me that she is quite the Lady and that most certainly is "woman"!

"NO! Don't listen to the Red-Haired One! You're here to do my bidding!"

You'd have to hold Gregg at gunpoint and give him reason to believe you'd kill me, Aida, and the little girl next door before he'd ever wear: 1. Crocs. 2. Anything orange that is not a life preserver.
Those are not Crocs; they are Calzuros. I got them before Crocs were out. They are slim and groovy-looking and I only wear them to walk outside and water the four pots of flowers the gardener planted for me to be sweet.
My gynecologist was wearing them and told me they are so comfortable he could stand on his feet on them for 12 hours of surgery and not have his legs be tired.

I highly recommend them. Also, note that they are slimmer and better looking than those hideous Crocs.

Don't know why you had to say "She'll Never Be A Woman Now," even sarcastically. That's precisely the sort of "breeder bingo" thrown at women who choose not to have children. ("You're denying your womanhood - you can't go against God that way!" Or: "You're not a real ADULT unless you have children!" Either way, it's horribly arrogant of the speakers.)
However, I'm guessing a man doesn't need to be told, falsely, that getting a vasectomy makes him less of a man - too many men automatically feel that way, even after having an unwanted child!
As "CFinPenthouse" said on Nov. 6th, in Bratfree:
"If a man is in a relationship with a fertile woman, and does not get a vasectomy, somewhere, and I don't care how deep, his masculinity is intertwined with the ability to produce replicas.
"You either explore that issue and get the snip if you DON'T want a child (or a second) or accept that your conception of masculinity is more important than not having more kids.
"Either way, it sucks to be you, Og."

I'm THRILLED to pieces that I have NEVER wanted children. NEVER.
I visit my neighbors' children from time to time but leave immediately whenever the going gets tough. (I'm a good-time "auntie.")
