Oh boy, talk about pitiful! Poor Wyatt went in for his neuter surgery today. 8 months and 3 weeks old. He was supposed to be my conformation dog, and he was actually doing quite well for a puppy, but it was “time”… Those un-neutered males don’t always make the best family pets! Plus, he was starting to like the pretty Goldendoodles at daycare just a tad too much J
I picked him up from the vet today at 3:30p and he’s basically been sleeping since (it’s now 6:40p). I’m sure he’ll be awake tomorrow and that will be the more difficult day to watch him and make sure he’s not licking his stitches… Right now he’s groggy, but jumpy at the same time. You know how you are when you wake up in the middle of the night, awake but not entirely? That’s him. Poor guy – you can’t help but feel sorry for him! He tried eating his dinner and you could just see how uncomfortable he was. I think he sat and then stood up again about 6 times in the 60 seconds it takes him to eat! My poor little 105 pound June bug!
Something surprising though – Maggie was laying next to him! Okay, I’m not sure if HE was lying next to her, or she was lying next to him… But, I have the photo to prove it! Maggie, the Queen Bee who will let out a low growl if another dog comes into her space, allowed poor, pitiful Wy-Wy to lie next to her… Either she’s getting soft in her old age or she knew he wasn’t feeling well (couldn’t possibly be the fact that she just didn’t feel like getting up and moving! No – She was *snuggling*with him of course!)…
We’re supposed to do some tracking Sunday morning. It’s hard to believe that he’ll be up for it by then, looking at him now… But – I’ve raised too many puppies to know better!!
PS – I had to attach this picture of Abby & Rudy… I went into work Thursday night with Wyatt and Ryan watched the kids for a couple hours… This is what I got to come home to!
