Sylvia is getting spayed on 2/19, for real this time!

[My Peanuts]

Sylvia is going in to get spayed on Thursday. As some of you may remember, she was supposed to go in on December 2nd but she went into heat. Our vet prefers spaying when dogs aren't in heat and we get money off if she went in February. Anyway, it is really going to happen this time and now I'm freaking out more than I did last time! I'm so worried about her and I feel terrible because she has no idea what she's in for. To top it all off I'm the one that is dropping her off Thursday morning! Please give me all your words of wisdom; I think it will help me calm down.

It's better that she dosen't know what's happening! lol. ^_^

But don't worry - she'll be fine! When you come to pick her up she'll be a little out of it, but she'll be happy to be home, and in a couple of days she'll be back to her old self.

Bailey was adopted from a shelter so she had to be spayed right after we got her. Trouble is, we didn't know she had already been spayed. Poor thing was cut open twice.

The point is, if Bailey can do it twice, your Sylvia girl won't have any problem having to do it once. She'll be just fine.

Shiny silly Sylvia
Will do just fine, worrying mum
Though she doesn't know
She'd thank you if she knew

Shiny silly Sylvia
Will be shiny silly spayed Sylvie
And still as cute and wiggly
When all better she will be

Don't worry, mom,
She'll be glad to see you when it's over
And will forgive you instantly
Dogs are like that!

That is lovely Karen

I will keep Silvia (And Mom) in my thoughts that all goes well.

Hugs, good wishes and prayers to you and Sylvia. I know she will be just fine but we wouldn't be normal if we didn't worry, would we? Let us know how she is as soon as you hear.

Try not to worry too much, Mom! We all know that bit of apprehension, but Sylvia will do just fine, I'm sure Give her an extra big hug for me. And please check in when you can! Sending lots of positive thoughts your way, Syliva and Mom!

I’m thinking of you both this morning. Sylvia will do great! She’ll be home before you know it.

Thank you Karen & everyone for the kind words, they really make me feel better. It is about 11:15 am here and she is probably in surgery or done. I can call at 12:30 and I can pick her up after 4:00. I'm sure is she doing well, but she was crying like crazy when I brought her. The crying should have bothered me, but it didn't because Syl always acts this way in the car and in new places. This whole thing isn't a big deal and I'm usually not a worrier, but I am today! I'll keep you posted when I call at 12:30.

6 minutes and counting!

Ok, I just got off the phone with the vet and the nurse said everything went great. Sylvia is resting and can come home after 4:00, which means I will be there at exactly 4:00 Thanks again for the well wishes everyone.

I'm so glad that Sylvia did well!!! Bless her heart. I know that her mom is going to take really, really good care of her when she gets home. Just be prepared for a very lethargic girl when she comes home today. I remember that Lilly had the major "throw ups" too, all bile.

Just take care of her and yourself!
