Our sweet girl is growing fast, and last week she was spayed...We were torn for a while about whether or not we wanted to get her fixed, but after careful thought, we decided that would probably be the best choice for us. Of course right after it was done, I told Jake I was sad that she would never have the chance to have puppies...HaHa. Seems silly, I know. In the end I know we will have made the right choice. She did great with everything. She was a little loopy and pitiful for a few hours after we got her home, but I just laid down with her and she slept for most of it. The first night after the surgery we were like a bunch of paranoid parents! HaHa! I look back and laugh at what we did now...We got her old crate (that she can barely turn around in) and Jake rigged it up on top of her big kennel, wedged it against the foot of our bed, and then we slept with our heads at the foot of the bed so we could hear her and see her if she started biting at her incision line. It was a rough night, but we made it through!! HaHa! Who ever said that having a dog isn't a true "warmer-upper" for parenthood, either didn't have a dog, or they weren't as crazy as we are, I guess. We've thoroughly enjoyed having her, but it definitely gives you a glimpse of future responsibility. Luckily for us right now, if we want a date night or some time alone, in the kennel she goes! One of the luxuries that separates doghood from parenthood. We go back to the doc tomorrow, a week after the surgery, to make sure everything is healing like it should! From the second day though, you would have never thought this little girl had a pretty big surgery! She is full of energy, that is for sure!!
Here are a few pictures of the girl as of late...Enjoy!
Love..J & K
This is right when we got her home...She was pitifully tired...haha.
She has to be right where you are, whenever possible!
Enjoying a Beautiful Day Outside
