Indy Update

Well …

The big guy survived the surgery,

Though he’s still definitely feeling the effects of being under anesthesia.

The tumor was removed,

And while he was under,

I had them clean his teeth.

So at least now his breath doesn’t smell like that drunk businessman’s from two Wednesdays ago.

Sunday night,

The night before surgery,

We didn’t have a good night at all.

I wasn’t allowed to feed him anything after 6:00 pm …

And he was pissed.

He woke me up regularly throughout the night,

Pretending to need to go to the restroom …

So that I would have to get up,

And then in a weak, sleepy moment …

Possibly forget about the no food rule and give him a Sheltie Snack when he came back in the house.

Actually, it almost worked at 3:00 am ! 🙂

When we got ready to go to the vet Monday morning,

He knew something was up …

And was shaking for the entire car ride,

Though of course, most people do that anyways when riding with me while I’m driving.

When I picked him up last night,

He was definitely wasted,

Not walking steady at all, and …

His eyes weren’t quite focusing.

Except when looking at me and conveying the thought …

“You’ll pay for this bitch” ! 🙂

This morning his walking was still quite unsteady …

So I had to help him up,

Guide him around the house,

And then pick up all 43 lbs of him when letting him out so he didn’t have to navigate the stairs.

Even now, he’s certainly not as recovered as I was hoping he’d be.

In fact, we had issues this morning coming to an agreement on his taking of the necessary post-op medication …

Apparently he attended the Kenna School of Post-Op Attitude !

Amyways, I finally did get the antibiotics down him,

Along with some pain killers.

Though I’m pretty sure at one point during the “aggressive negotiations” …

He called me the “K” word.

Meaning which …

I’ll get my revenge by posting embarassing pictures of his shaved butt later tonight !! 🙂

Please send him some positive vibes though …

I think he still could use them !!
