Post Op

I'm going to backtrack to last week when Minnie had her surgery. We dropped her off at the vet (SO sad), and she looked back at us and went WOOF as we were walking out the door! I wanted to run back and take her home with us! Fortunately though, Minnie's surgery went great, and it only took her about a day to recover. She was SO sleepy/drugged up when we picked her up, it was funny and kind of pathetic at the same time! We knew she wasn't feeling well because we put her in her kennel, opened up the door to let her out awhile later, and she didn't budge! Poor girlfriend.


Minnie's doing great now though, and we are planning on taking her on a hike this weekend if the weather stays ok! 


On a side note, Minn's picked up a funny little habit...she keeps scooting her food/water bowls all over the kitchen! I think she's doing it because she's mad at us. She's like, I'll show you guys...I'll act silly and then you'll play with me!

She's the only dog I know that cries tears of joy when she sees the vet!

Minn took over the wheel...

Right after her surgery - how sad is that face?

Sad, Sad Baby

Minnie's surgery is tomorrow, and I REALLY think she knows something is up! For the past 3 days she's been moping around the house, half-heartedly bringing toys up to us to play, and wandering around in circles and crying. I feel so bad for her! I keep calling her the sad, sad baby. Poor Minnie. Although I keep telling Husband that Minnie's sad because she knows her surgery is coming up, it's probably because we've been really busy and haven't had a lot of time for playing with her. Boo.

Minn's [human] grandparents visited her this weekend and she had a good time climbing all over them, licking their hands, and swinging all of her toys in their faces. I guess that's the only time she wasn't acting sad this weekend!

No pictures to post for now...I'm sure I'll have some of sad post-surgery Minnie to post tomorrow! :(

The Day is Looming...

Yesterday I made an appointment for Minnie to get fixed next Tuesday - yikes! Today we're going to the vet to get blood work done so they'll be able to tell if she can handle the anesthesia. I know having the surgery isn't a big deal, but I also know I'm going to be worrying about her all day!  I just don't want to see her all sad/in pain afterwards. I'm sure she'll recover quickly and be back to her silly antics in no time!  


As Minnie keeps growing, you can definitely tell she has her own little goofy personality. She is so particular about certain things that I never imagined dogs cared about!  For example, when we let her out of her kennel in the morning and she's on her way to the back door, she always stops, picks up a toy, flings it backwards over her head, and continues on out the door. Weirdo!  I love it though...she makes things super interesting at our house!

Minn at the farm - looking quite proud!


Note about the picture above - She busted out of her baby collar a couple weeks ago, so she's now sporting a collar that belonged to her Aunt Bea!
