I called to check up on Dixie. She is sleeping and came through the surgery fine. I asked if there was someone going to be there with her tonight. The answer was no. The last person leaves there at 9:00 pm and no one comes in until 6:00 am. I realize she might be sick and my night might not go very well but I still think she's better off at home where I can take care of her. If she does throw up, is she going to have to lay in it all night???

I feel like I've betrayed her. She depends on me to care for her and now I won't be there when she might need me. Why isn't there someone at the vet's office 24 hours for such a need as this?

Thanks everyone for giving me cheerful encouragement! You guys are the best!!!
