Bridget, I sympothise with you. I know it's not a major surgery but any surgery, big or small, is always scary. I don't remember anything about the cherry eye surgery, but I know it's common so it's hopefully quick and easy. I learned something kinda interesting on Animal Planet on a "Breed All About It" about Afgan Hounds...dogs can smell fear in our breaths, so when the owners/handlers are nervous at a show they chew mint gum to hide the fear in their breaths. Interesting. I don't normally chew gum, but I bought a pack and chewed a piece this morning as I took Graham for one last walkie before we headed to the vet. Then before I went into the vet I chewed a new piece, that way Graham would not be able to smell the fear/nervousness in my breath Thats maybe something that might help when you bring in Daisy to the vet.

There is one good about getting this surgery overwith today...I won't have to sleep with his stuffie and his blankie anymore I chose one blanket and one stuffie that I sent with him to have in his cage at the vet so he could have my smell on me and I rolled over onto that uncomfortable stuffie so many times, and every time it woke me up And the blankie I chose to send with him is small enough to fit in a cage and it is not a real special blankie so if he messes it up by getting sick, it's not a big loss...and the blankie is actually a throw blanket with the woven cords on it (not sure what the name for them is) and everytime one of the cords would rub up against my arm or leg while I was asleep I woke up franticlly thinking there was a huge bug crawling on me I surely won't miss sleeping with the blankie and stuffie
