Mick is going to become a half-boy

Hello everyone, how's it going?
I am a bit sleepy and tired now because I had to get up a bit earlier than usual.

This morning Gori and I took one of our dogs, Mick to a nearby vet to have him castrated. We've been keeping Mick for about 8 months and he is now 10 months old, getting very close to his maturity. We had been considering (×about) when would be the good time to neuter him but we were kind of procrastinating to carry it out. Partly (×that's )because (×that) Gori said he had heard it from someone that if you fix a male dog too soon, the dog becomes a wimp. Mick is already a scaredy-cat ( He is scared of thunder and yelps at a tiny bit of pain or something like that.)We didn't want Mick to be even more wimpish, but the time had come. Actually, we were desperate to do it because our other(×another) dog, Ambi's period started a few days ago! We can't afford another dog so we had to do it very soon.

We had a bit of trouble when we tried to put him in the car. At first Gori was going to drive and I was going to hold Mick in the backseat but it didn't work. Mick got scared of being trapped in a car and tried to do a runner. He was out of control so I couldn't hold him. So we had to change plans and Gori and I swapped the roles. This time it went smoothly, thank goodness. We took him to the vet. The vet checked him out briefly and we decided on his discharge time and came back home. We are going to pick him up around 2 :30 this afternoon. I hope everything is going to be alright.
