Ginger's Flying High

On Monday, Ginger got some surgery done. It was a real reality check, being a mom, dropping of my baby for the day. It was really hard and I can't imagine having to do it with a child. She got spayed, they pulled out a tooth (she had two fangs on one side casue the baby one wasn't falling out!), and gave her a rabies shot and her last puppy vaccines.

We went to pick her up at the end of the day...and it was quite hilarious. Not the fact that she was obviously in pain and probably pissed of at us for putting her through all of this, but the anethesia made her totally stoned! Her eyes were all squinty and she was definately doing the head bob to stay awake. Too cute! I tried to snap some pics, but it hardly justifies the event!

She was totally out of it the whole night and sleepy. This is quite unusual for her as she is a pretty active dog (puppy and chihuaha mix!)
However, the next moring, after alittle bit of a sleep in, she was up and at 'em like any other day. Blows me away!

She has been pretty good the last day or so, but we have to keep reminding her to take 'er easy! She wants to run and play, not realizing that she just had major surgery. She has a little line of stitches up her belly and some bruising to show for it all.
All in all I think in a couple of more days she will be right back into getting into things and being her normal puppy self!
