Bob Barker was a smart man

Monday morning I dropped Suzy off at the Vet to get spayed. The correct term as it was in the info packet they gave me is:
ovariohysterectomy

[-his′tərek′təmē]

the surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries

(I should have gotten this done a year ago when she came to live with me, I already feel guilty about not having it done. Its a big deal to me.)

She was there all day and I left work early to go pick her up. I felt so bad that I abandoned her in a strange place all day and she was going to be in pain and groggy when she next saw me. So when I got to the place they finally bring her out and she wags her little tail as much as she could since she didn't feel good at all. I was glad she was happy to see me as much as I was to see her. I had to stop and get her a cone thing so she doesn't lick her wounds and while I was there they had costumes 75% off so of course I had to get the adorable lobster costume! (Go check it out at { bugmiscellany })

I can't help but think about how cute she is in the cone and all sleepy.....

I got her a new toy too, its a mummy dog.

Today she is feeling better and would go running if we let her. She still has to wear the cone and can only go for short potty walks. 10-14 days is gonna be forever for her, but she is going to be SO happy when I can finally take her to the dog park and not have to worry about baby Suzie's.

Doggie Blues

My poor Suzy has the blues. When we are getting ready in the morning she has now gone to her kennel instead of laying in the hall watching us. She has the saddest look on her face, it breaks my heart. I gave her a biscuit in an attempt to cheer her up and she just ate it and came out for a min and went right back in.

I don't know what to do....

I think she needs a puppy to play with or maybe she can't find her baby doll. I know she misses us really bad when we are at work but she has never acted this way...maybe its just the rainy day blues, either way she will be getting a new toy tonight.

I think this calming heartbeat pillow would be perfect!

this scat man would also be helpful while we are gone, she likes to get up on the couch and look out the window when we leave and when we get back. This is not OK cause we would like to get a new couch and don't want her on the furniture (she doesn't go on while we are home) Then we wouldn't have to put her in the kennel while we are away.

I wish I could just bring her to work everyday
