Going through surgery is tough. I should know. And boy, was I cranky. Still am. But, thinking about it was something I didn’t expect to happen.
First, I was left alone with people I didn’t know. They put me in a cage like an ordinary dog. Then they carried me to another room, put me on a metal table, and stuck a needle in me. Can you blame me for trying to bite these people?!
When I woke up, I was a bit groggy and sore and had a huge yellow bandage on my back leg. Plus a weird plastic cone around my neck. Daddy finally picked me up and had them remove the cone. Thank goodness for that. It was embarrassing and uncomfortable.
I ate a little and slept in my own comfy bed. I don’t feel much like doing anything today but sleep and nap. And maybe eat a little food and drink a little water. Going to the bathroom is a major effort since it’s not easy for me to get up and walk. Luckily my bathroom is located in the house on clean, white pads. I think I’ll take a nap now.

The Surgery Aftermath
A note from daddy Charlie:
Lucy is resting comfortably in her bed and has come through her surgery fine. She ate a little bit of her dog food last night and this morning and got up twice to use her piddle pads. She took her medicines but was quite grumpy about the liquid one that had to be squirted in her mouth. It took both her daddies to get this one done.
I’m still in recovery. Now I get to worry about why she’s not getting up from her bed and if that’s okay. I guess having a hernia repaired, a tooth pulled and a knee repaired takes a lot out of a little girl. Not to forget the vaccinations, nail trim, anal squeeze, and overall stress from being left alone with strangers.
