Spay...

Did you know...Roxie's 6 months old already!  Tonight, I'm dropping her off at the vet.  First thing tomorrow, she's #1 on the list for surgery.  I'm really nervous.  She's a lot smaller than Zoey was when she got fixed.  She's also going to be staying overnight 2 nights, which Zoey didn't stay at all.  I worry that she will be lonely and confused tonight when I drop her off (at 5pm) and cry a lot.  I know tomorrow she should be pretty well drugged and not have a chance to really care that she's not home.  I can not wait for it to be over, and know she made it through just fine, and to have her back home. 

And I think another really hard of this is going to be the fact I drop her off.  I still get that image of Zoey laying on that table, dead, every single time I walk in that place.  It's too soon for me to do this, but I think we're getting close to her going in heat and I definitely want to avoid that.  So, I'll be strong while in there, and probably cry the whole way home. 

Here's a new pic since I suck at updating stuff on here.

  1. I know it's an anxious thing, but you're doing the right thing. I hope you got a good call this morning. The world will be right in a few days.

    I think about Muffy's death a lot, but I don't really associate it with the vet's office. Our vet's office is a converted house and the deed was done upstairs. He boards the animals up there too. So after it was over I went and visited the other animals. Poking my fingers into the cages and letting them sniff and lick me. There was a tiny little dog there that had just been spayed. So even though I was very sad, there is still something wonderful about a puppy licking your fingers.
