lilly is a big girl now. surgery over.

[Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly]

Lilly was spayed yesterday.  I felt for her since I had the same surgery a few years back. We paid more to have the laser elective surgery and I requested pain meds. Previcox and Tramadol. We had the home again microchip put in at the same time. Total for everything 181.53. nebraska city, ne. I could not believe the cost was that low but I am still getting used to living in the midwest and living in small towns. I.love.it. except when you need something right now and have to drive 70 miles to Lincoln to buy it.

Lilly slept with me last night as she does every night now. I did not put the cone on her and was not smart enough to buy littl boy underwear for her to wear.  I put a pair of my older grandma white cotton underwear on her with a hole cut out for her tail. I know she is a smalll dog and I know that I have a big butt, but I did not expect the underwear to come up over her ears and for her to be able to lick herself through the leg holes. So my underwear lasted point. zero. seconds. If anyone dumpster dives and chooses to pick this pair of underwear they are going to wonder about the old lady that owned that pair of undies with a hole cut out in the bottom.

I tried to keep one ear open to listen for her licking and a few times I caught her and said " NO licking Lilly" and she stopped. She may have listened with one of her ears opened for me to start snoring she she could go back to licking herself. Her incision looks good this morning so that is good news. She had a bit of water this morning, went pee (first time since yesterday morning) and a bit of food.(She still has not gone poop).  I am giving her the pain meds for the next couple of days. I know dogs heal quicker than humans but I remember the pain after my surgery and I don't want her to be uncomfortable and she doesn't know how to say the f word that I used quite a few times those first few days after my surgery.

She is sleeping in her day bed right now or she is in la la land from the drugs. Glad this milestone is over. Is 7:20 in the morning to early for wine?

[Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly]

its been a few days and Lilly is feeling much better. she is back to talking to me and telling me it is walk time. thank you everyone for your well wishes... I love my doodle family. hugs

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

aww I  feel your pain - my MILs dog got spayed 10 days ago. Though she was totally fine the day after (we dont know how she was the day of the surgery as she was still at the humane society). it was hard stopping her and Cooper from playing. Its never really seemed to bother her, and now shes rolling around in the dirt with Coops

 

Hope Lilly heals as quickly

Congratulations, big girl Lilly.  This was an amusing post :-)  I am glad it is done and that Lilly has such a compassionate Mom taking care of her.  She should be ready to run around again in a day or two.  Also loved the grannie pants story.

[Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly]

[Dori & Rua]

7:20 is NEVER too early for wine.  So glad my little Goddaughter, Lilly, is doing OK (she is my Goddaughter, right?)!  Thank you for the call today.  It really made my day.  We appreciate the thoughts about Doug's grandpa.  Can't wait until Miss Lilly is ready for company.  I'll send you a PM...perhaps we can get together soon!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I was so happy when all that was over for Fudge and Vern. Sounds like Lilly is getting the best of care. Love the grannie panties story :)

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I'm sure you're very happy that this is over....for you and for Lilly.  I love the thought of someone coming across the "granny pants" with the hole in the bottom.  It's definitely late enough in the day for a glass or two of wine now!!!!  Hope she continues to feel better.

[Rhonda, Marabelle & Jeriki]

Never to early for wine lol just kidding, a nice cup of coffee should do it.
