Rose Update on Riley's spay

Thanks to all for your good thoughts and prayers. My little girl came through her spay and teeth removal just fine.

Her temp was low after surgery so they gave her hot water bottles to snuggle with until it returned to normal. They said she still wanted to snuggle with them after that. "Like mother like daughter"... heehee!

They removed both inscisors on the top, and she has little stitches there; soft food for now, or at least soaked kibble.

I have her home now. We took a 3-hr nap during which the last hour she squirmed a bit and whimpered. I got her up, took her out, fed soft food, gave meds, and now she's in her kennel to rest some more.

I hate seeing her little tummy. Somehow it seems much harder (for me to see) with her because she's just so tiny. She also has the inside of both her forearms shaved where they couldn't access the vein in one and had to go to another. As if we didn't have enough trouble growing her leg hair.

I don't care, though. She's my girl, and she's home safely.
