My Little Girl


She's last on the surgical list today as her ear op is classed as a " dirty op" but I have to drop her off at 9am.....she doesn't do well without me
I've gone all a bit nervous about it all, which I recognise says more about my year than it does about her surgery, but I'm terrified at losing her.
All of my animals hold a special place in my heart but only Mary goes absolutely everywhere with me...I'm never a single with her on my arm
It's a stressful day today

Ps haven't I got small ears?

  4. I had to google "dirty op" and not surprisingly got some interesting results :p . . . but then I googled "dirty op MEDICAL" and did better!

    May all be well with Mary. I get almost sick just taking my cats to the vet, so I can only imagine how hard this wait will be for you.

  5. She will be through it with flying colours and then she will be home in your arms. Having said that, I don't envy you the wait

  8. I totally understand your concern John but Mary is young in years and I feel that she will come through with flying colours.

  9. I hate those early drop offs and then the wait. I am sure she will be fine. She has youth on her side, both of my guys are really old and I am always sure something will go wrong. We are all rooting for her (and you!).
    Cheers Peter

  11. Empathize completely. Amys' vet stay on 18/9 was awful though the op did go very well.
    When we entered the Vets Amy became very distressed begging us to take her out of there - jumping up; hiding under my arm - eyes getting bigger all the while and panting furiously.

    I do hope Mary is not as stressed and I am sure this operation will make all the difference to her comfort, ear infections are painful.

    As a former surgery nurse, I understand cases that are infected so are "dirty". Wish you could stay with Mary until she's sleepy for the procedure as I was allowed to do with our younger son when he was 4 years old.

    Big hugs, best wishes, and high hopes for Mary's wellbeing. Yours, too, John. It's sometimes hard to be the daddy but Mary will be glad to see you afterwards.

  25. When my late mother was young, she always had Welsh Terriers. She adored them, so I can understand your attachment. Beautiful natured dogs.

  26. Having had the rug pulled out from under you once of course leaves you apprehensive about everything. Hoping you're getting some sleep as i write, and I will be thinking of you and Mary tomorrow morning.

    ReplyDelete
  27. She's so adorable, I'm sure she'll get plenty of attention during the day but will be over the moon to see you when you pick her up. Best wishes for her little procedure. As for tiny, tidy ears, I'm jealous!!

  32. Thinking of you and Mary, you'll be on tenterhooks until you go get her. Yes, tiny ears! Don't ears get bigger as we get older?

  38. I know exactly how you feel. That moment when you hand the lead to the nurse to take them away ... and then that bloody awful moment when you have to get in the car without them, buckle up and drive away. I hate, hate, hate it. I spend all day imagining the worse, drive myself crazy with fear .... and then usually you get back to pick them up and hear of them being THE most delightful doggy that all the nurses have been making a fuss over.

    I hope everything goes well for your lovely little wing-girl. She's young, fit and except for her ear, in good health she should be fine. But my fingers are firmly crossed anyway. ♥️ xx

  47. The vets wouldn't put Mary through the operation if they didn't think she was strong enough. A horrid day for you none the less. I've done this many times and it doesn't get any easier. Thinking about you and Mary and all good wishes for a complete recovery with many future years of being pain free.

  54. Yes you have got small ears. Have you ever considered surgery to have them enlarged? No wonder you often hide them under your beanie hat.

    I hope that all goes well with Mary.

  63. Inhale slowly through the nose and exhale quickly out the mouth......throughout the day. It may help.

    Now Is THAT a loaded question or what!
    Something like: 'Does this make me look fat?' lol

    ReplyDelete
  64. By now she is home with you. I hope it wasn’t the overbearing vet that was to work on her. There are those special ones that grab our heartstrings more than others. Sleep well tinight with your girl.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Here's hoping the day passes quickly and Mary's surgery is without complication.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Poor you, Mary will feel so much better though. My dog hates going to the vet too. I know exactly how you feel having to leave your girl. Lots of treats and cuddles tonight for you both.x
