I was sick all day,they make you sign a paper saying you will not call to see when pup is ready to pick up to 9PM, after 9 its ok to call, plus 12 other scary things you had to ok or not. I dropped him off at 7:30AM, They told me he could be ready between 1 and 3 PM. To keep my mind off the time I went to some stores further then where I live. It's now 3PM and no call, so I come home trying not to go into panic mode. 4PM all sorts of things are going through my mind, he died on the table, they know how I am, their tossing coins who is going to call me with the bad news.

5:10PM, screw them, I'm calling. Receptionist did not chastise me (lucky her lol) she puts me on hold for a minute or two, comes back, tells me to pick him up at 5:50PM. I was wondering had I not called, how long would they have kept him.

My vet is 35 minute drive, so I fly out after the call, pedal to the medal in my 1.8 liter buggy and get there 5:50 on the nose.

To think next year I have to go through again.

He had a dental in 2018, I do not recall him being at the vet 10 plus hours.
Thank GOD he was fine, for the 35 minute ride home he told me all about his horrible day, Cody is quite verbal when he wants something, but this ride home he was non stop lol, poor baby. As soon as we came in the house I fed him, then he quieted down lol.

Good to hear Cody did well and no teeth pulled! Mike had his first dental last week, I was a mess too while waiting... Luckily our vet's practice is small and they schedule such procedures on a day when all staff is present so after it's over there's always someone available to give me a quick call.
