My extraction went well. Vet said I didn't even bleed much - surprising for a husky I guess. They sent my tooth home in a baggy but Mom wouldn't let me eat it (it sure looked like a snack to me). I was really groggy and doped up when they woke me up to go home. I just kinda gazed at Mom a little wobbly. She said thanks to the vet techs as they handed over my leash, and I turned in slow motion and remember HA - they were standing behind me. I figured I better say good bye too - hehe morphine makes you love EVERYONE! I gave the techs a little nose nuzzle on their legs before turning back around to go with Mom - they thought that was just the most adorable thing EVER -- I guess no dog had ever said goodbye like that before. Aren't you supposed to say goodbye? They took really good care of me after all. Man was I HUNGRY when we got home. Surprising I know - after being pumped full of anesthesia stuff and getting a tooth yanked out. I hadn't ate my dinner the night before, and there was no breakfast. I WOLFED down dinner like food was going out of style. Mom was all nervous because I was supposed to take it easy while eating ppsssshhhhh - heck - she gave me soft food - which was even better - I couldn't stop myself.

The next day - I guess I was really naughty, and I ate the free sample of tooth brushing nugget food. Sure sure - it was in a bag in a bag in the middle of the table - and Mom thought it was safe - but I was still hungry. I guess I wasn't supposed to eat that for another week or 2 -- oops! It was SO good - don't regret it a BIT. Also chewed up a bottle of orange Gatorade Mom forgot to bring to work. I even heard herself muttering before she left how she couldn't forget it or she knew I would get it. Hehe, got it just right so I could lick out some drips, but much of it all over the cream carpet - ooh boy was Dad pissed when he got home. I was iiinnn trouble. What can I say - they took away my chew toys - a dog's gotta chew when a dogs' gotta chew! I'm not getting my hard chew toys back until at LEAST another week and a half. Boo hoo!
Oh and at that - Mom said she's done transcribing for me because she has to evacuate the premises after I let a noxious gas bomb for her just now. Man -- the only drawback to having that canned food. Dog I love that stuff! I'm fleeing too - yikes that was a BADD'UN!
