I gave her a bath last night so she would be nice and clean and then I dropped her off this morning. It was a very emotional thing for me and I'm sure they thought I was nuts for boo hooing. They even suggested I cancel it and think it over more. I said no, I know I'm doing the right thing but she is my baby. I cried all the way to work after dropping her off. I'm okay now but there is this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I have very fond memories of her and her puppies and even have the biggest baby boy to show for it! I could not of asked for a more perfect puppy than Dusty and I have Dixie to thank for it!

I know some of you are probably thinking what's the big deal! I know it's not that tramatic of a deal but I would of liked to have another litter of her puppies! It is now a permanent decision that I can't. Thank you for letting me ramble.

I am just a little confused. I thought I would be able to pick her up late this afternoon but they told me I can't pick her up until tomorrow afternoon. They want to administer pain medication and make sure she eats tomorrow morning. Is this normal? I think she would be better off with me taking care of her.
