Bella's Surgery

On Monday we took Bella in to get her spayed. It was her 5 month birthday to the day. What a birthday present huh? But it had to be done. If she is anything like her momma she will get out one day and get impregnated by one of the neighbor dogs and we will be in trouble!

When we took her in they gave us all these additional options like an IV bag, laser surgery, extra monitoring, etc. Besides racking up the bill with each additional option, I was feeling guilty and getting more scared by the minute. Isn't this a routine surgery that they perform all the time?

We chose not to get any of the extras and I worried all day, but her surgery went fine. They sent her home with a cute little bandanna around her neck and glazed over eyes.

The first picture is the night we got her home, she looked so pathetic. The next day she kept licking her stitches so we had to go to Petco and buy her a cone. The fourth picture is today (three days later) and she acts like nothing ever happened. We love Bella, she is so sweet, and it is such a relief that everything went well.
