Day 140 - Week 21 - SURGERY TIME

As mentioned weeks earlier, Eve has been pulled from the breeding program and so this past week she was spayed!  I dropped her off bright and early thursday morning and at 3:30 I picked her up at the same time that McGregor was being picked up.  We got our post-surgery instructions, medicine and cone and then out came Eve and McGregor.  They were both a little loopy and bother were whining.  Now if you know McGregor he has been a whiner since he was born, but to hear the two of them together was heart breaking.  My little baby was crying!  We got in the car and I made my way from Surrey to Downtown with my little one crying the whole way.  I got her home and made her comfortable and she wouldn't let me leave her side.  I had to cuddle with her and she was shivering.  I kept her warm with a blanket and my body heat.  It was a difficult night for poor Eve.  She cried til about 2am and then finally settled into a deep sleep.  By morning she was much better and now 3 days later she is back to normal.  Unfortunately she is not allowed to go to the doggie park until her stitches are removed on the 24th.  And no off leash rough play with other dogs.  This is going to be a tough couple of weeks.
We got a new bed at Costco today for Eve and it is awesome as we both fit on it.  We are enjoying it very much!  Ok...Eve just got a hold of the computer mouse so I guess that means it is time to go! Till next time...
