I brought my little boy in this morning, to get neutered. =( I am way more worried & sad than I expected. He still seems like such a puppy to me. He weighed 27 lbs today!! But he's very small & compact, and I can still carry him around under one arm. I had to wake him up (as he usually sleeps in until around 10... he had to wake up at 7) and he got all excited thinking we were going to the park. He was still really happy to greet everyone at the Vet's, but I'm sure he is really missing us right now. Gonzo wouldn't eat his goose, which is one of his favoritesand he's all mopey without his little buddy.
One big upside is that he's being neutered by our new Vet, who is like 2 miles from our house and is a w e s o m e. Our other Vet was 30 minutes away, and we haven't even seen our Vet for the last 3 visits, they just gave us random Vets that we didn't know. I am really glad that I switched. His new Vet is sooo nice, he's young & he graduated from UC Davis a few years ago, and he actually cares enough to talk about everything in detail over the phone and at the office. He also supports us feeding Raw! When I walked in, I was so excited, because they have a room full of... not SD or Eukanuba... Wellness, Innova, Evo, natural supplements/medicines and a freezer full of pre-made Raw! Yes, that made it a little bit easier. My sister used to take her Chi mix to this place (not this particular Vet) and she really loved them. They also, suprisingly, charge way less for just a check-up than our old Vets. When their popularity increased, they changed check-ups from $20 to almost $40, which I felt pretty annoyed by. Not to mention we waited forever there, while we didn't wait at all here. I'm super happy that I switched!
But, I'm still incredibly worried, of course. Even though I know there is very minimal chances of anything happening during the surgery, I am so stressed out about what I'm going to do. I have to keep Fozzie quiet for a few days because of the stitches, and I have to keep Gonzo very quiet because of his toe. -_- I literally have to keep 2 very active dogs senditary, and I hate it. Gonzo is already breaking my heart - he was bringing all of his toys, his frizbee, and his balls to me, and I had to put them all away. I have to keep Fozzie from playing with Gonzo, now I have to keep both of them from playing at all. It just sucks. I'm going to get some really good stuff from the butcher today, to give to Fozzie once he's ok to eat... rabbit & maybe a pig head! =P hopefully that'll cheer them up a little bit.
We pick him up tomorrow morning. I have to go 24 hours without my little munchkin! Ugha. Hopefully I will be able to handle keeping them both quiet, please wish me luck and give me some pointers! I'll post pics once he is feeling better.
