a rat tale

down and out

yesterday was my surgery...mom dropped me off at the doctors really early and i was kinda scared...she never left me there before. but she came back to get me later and i don't remember much. i was really groggy and mom kept telling me my eyes were glassy. when i got home i was really scared...everything hurt and i was afraid to lay down. but after about an hour of standing i couldn't do it anymore and i slowly tried laying down. mom had gone and got me my favorite pillow from upstairs...its a long body pillow that i love to sleep on. she made a nest for me out of big fluffy pillows and blankets. and she laid next to me all evening so i wouldn't try to get up...cause even though it hurt i wanted to lay in her lap. mommy knew it hurt so she laid me back on the pillows and curled up around me. she fed me ice cubes when i was thirsty and even slept downstairs next to me cause i can't get up the stairs or jump on the bed. mommy said she was afraid i would try to jump down off the bed if we went upstairs and that would rip my stitches.

today is better. i could eat and drink and have even been able to walk around a little bit. i don't like this plastic thing around my head. it makes it hard to get comfortable. mom says ten days. hopefully it goes quick.

today was the first day that mommy took me running. i usually just get to watch her bounce around the living room but today she took me with her. its kinda hard to get going though, cause everyone stops and wants to pet me. that makes me so happy i can't hold it in! i jump up and wag my tail so hard my whole body shakes! but now i'm beat so i'm gonna go lay on my steelers rug and look out the door.

tomorrow's a big day. i'm off to the vet all afternoon. mom drops me off at about 9 am and i'm there till at least three getting my surgery. hopefully they'll give me some good meds to help me sleep for the next few days! i'm nervous but not as nervous as my mom. i'm the first puppy she's ever had. all the other dogs were at least a year when her famlily got them so she's a little paranoid about how its all gonna go. and uncle mark just wants to see me with a cone on....he likes to tease me!

off to nap while mom gets ready for work....
