Lupa spayed

 Not to self: do not look at old photo albums where photos of Spike predominate. Especially when I’m already feeling fragile… He had such a nice face.

Today we are waiting (not quite on pins and needles) to pick Lupa up from her spay. Apparently the surgery went well but she did have to have 6 baby teeth removed as they weren’t falling out by themselves. One even impacted one of her canines and will need ‘ball therapy’ to fix the tooth. She’s a loved member of our family now so it hurts to see her suffer.

…

We are home from the vet with our sad little dog. We’ve taken off the cone and put her into a onesie which nicely covers her incision (which is 1 ½ inches long). After a quick trip outside, she’s now in the puppy pen which we moved to the sofa area earlier. She can’t seem to settle and is shivering and occasionally whimpering. I suspect those are all effects of the anaesthetic. Poor Spike had a hard time being put under and would take more than a day to recover.

It’s raining today.

Awesome!
