Thank you Cathy, I know my fear is a bit stupid I just can't help it. I have heard a few horror stories from people I know who's dogs have died under anesthetic and it just freaks me out. I know I need to stop being selfish and put her health before my feelings, it's for the best. Just dreading Thursday and can't wait to get her back safe and sound!
