sad puppy

[lindaslaments]

my dog thelma had surgery today (some teeth extractions and two lump removals) and it was just the most awful day ever. i got kicked out of the surgery room because i was just a nervous wreck, which i'm glad they kicked me out because anesthetic procedures just freak me out anyway. i was a nervous mess until she woke up. and she woke up fine and was resting w/ one of the techs, and when i went to sit with her she just got so whiney and sad and was putting on this show of pathetic for me, making me feel even worse. so now we're home and she's whining and so sad, and just looks awful. i feel so bad. she's wearing a cone so as to not mess w/ her leg where the lumps were, and she keeps running into things and it's just awful. her leg looks so painful, and i'm so scared she's going to rip the incisions open when she walks. they're painful looking.
i'm going to bring her back to work with me again tomorrow so i can watch her. i can't bear the thought of leaving her alone at home all day. plus the doctor can make sure her incisions are ok, they look really red to me, and a little bit of blood leaked out of one. they're just in weird spots that move a lot when she walks.

i want my doggy to stop crying :(
