they saw the growth............but what if they couldn't get ahold of you. Good

It kept prying on my mind and I finally called them at 5:00 & said we'll be bringing Muffie in at 4 p.m. Monday and asked if we were going to be able to meet the doctor that will be doing the surgery.

She said "Oh no, he only works in the morning!"

I said "Do you really think if I brought Muffie in at 4 p.m. Monday for a dental procedure where she has to be put to sleept and we didn't get to see the doctor actually doing the surgery that I would leave her there?"

I also said "You need to tell the front desk people to make sure that anyone bringing animals in for surgery that they at least MEET the vet that will be doing the surgery."

That is when we made the Monday morning appointment to meet him.

She was very appreciative of my suggestion, apologized and said she would make sure everyone is aware of this suggestion. She thought it was something that they should put into practice/

So we'll take her Monday morning about 10:15 to meet the vet as I want HIM personally to look at her teeth! Guess we'll be taking her back at 4:00 to leave her then.

I couldn't believe it! I am sooooo glad that I finally called and asked. Keep Muffie in your prayers Tuesday morning. She won't be coming home till sometime Tuesday afternoon.

a few teeth with Crystal I worried she wouldn't be able to eat and it was
no problem the next day.

Welcome Bo, so nice to have you and your Mommy here. We would like to
have Bo's Birthday too if you know it.

He didn't think there was really a growth - perhaps that's where a tooth was. He is going to clean her teeth tomorrow. We take her back at 4:15 this afternoon and leave her overnight.

Thanks for your prayers.

I know you hate leaving Muffie over night, so please let us know how she is doing when you bring her home tomorrow.

Take care.
