20-52: "if you must wear a cone, may it be filled with tennis balls" - a golden retriever proverb
And now Bruno is neutered. But don't worry he is not sad. He never even knew what his testicles were for in the first place.
What do you get for someone who has just been neutered? It turns out that Hallmark does not make a card specific for that situation, and I was afraid what a google search would produce.
I went with a standard favourite amongst golden retrievers, and bought him a dozen tennis balls. Being in a cone didn't stop him from playing, and he thought this whole photo shoot was a great time. Especially since it was a family affair with everyone taking turns petting him, calling his name, putting tennis balls in his mouth, and keeping the tennis balls away from Eva for the photo. And yes, all twelve balls are in that cone.
On a serious note, Bruno is doing great. He was slightly slowed and confused by the medications on day one. He is now back to being happy, silly, active and his usual goofy self. Just bigger while wearing a cone and often plowing his people and his Brittany Spaniel over like a snow plow.

I've also included this in my natural light set. Early evening, overcast with minimal directionality to the light from behind Bruno.
