aww.. i hope eric mends quickly.
barkley definitely didn't change noticeably after his 'operation of a delicate nature'. it is of course impossible to know how the op has affected him but he's still an incredibly stubborn lad when he wants to be!

if anything, i do think it has made him more wary around other dogs, but patience and hard work on the training front have continued to get us through all of his phases eventually!
