The Saturdays singer Rochelle Wiseman is having her pet dog neutered.
The pop star owns a Pomeranian pooch called Pudding and has decided to get him the procedure - which involves either removing the animal's testicles or having him sterilised so he can't mate.
The dog is being taken to the vets today (30.11.10) to have the operation.
The 'Missing You' singer wrote on her twitter page: "My mum has just taken Pudding to the vets to get his boy bits chopped ... eekkkk ... I'm a nervous Mumma. (sic)"
As well as Pudding, animal lover Rochelle also has another dog Tiger, which is a Yorkshire Terrier breed.
The 21-year-old beauty - who recently split from her boyfriend, JLS singer Marvin Humes - is often happy to turn down a night of partying to stay in with her beloved mutts.
After a performance in Birmingham, England, on Saturday (27.11.10), she tweeted: "On way home to see my baby Tiger, no energy to party tonight, saving it. (sic)"
