| Tiger is having surgery - need advise My darling Tiger has been scheduled for neutering this thursday. Annika is getting older and I don't want "any accidents" to happen. She is much tinier than Tiger and I cannot risk it. I will take him in at 8:30am and will be picking him up the following day at 4:30pm. Although I know this is such a common procedure for dogs, I cannot help but still worry so much . Please say a short prayer for my baby when you get a moment. I know that when he comes home he needs to have lots of rest and recovery time and refrain from being too playful. Since I have Annika, do you guys have any suggestions on a temporary set-up to ensure they don't rough play, as they often do . Being that it is a weekend, I have 2 days to take care of him but would love suggestions esspecially when I go back to work on Monday. |

| You have Buddy's and my prayer for Tiger. He will be fine but it is so scary to have to put your baby under. Can you keep them seperated for a day or two since it is the weekend and just let him sleep with you at night? They actually heal very fast however I would be careful the two don't rough house it for a couple of days. Good luck and keep YT posted on his recovery. |

| Awww Coco and I will send good thoughts and Prayers Tiger's way. Don't worry it will be over before you and Tiger know it. He will be up and playing within hours of coming home. I would highly recommend that you get an infant onesie for him so he doesn't try to lick or bite the stitches (plus they look adorable in them ) and lots of potty time because the medicine may make him diarrhetic. It gives them diarrhea and it smells REALLLY bad so don't worry if that happens. Lots of broiled chicken and rice to help him but in very very very small portions. Don't worry we are all here for you. You are doing the right thing.

| I would put your baby in an xpen while you gone !Will keep your baby in my prayers, he will be fine, when Rosi was spayed i was a nervous wreck, she was 3.8 pounds and a tooth pulled and microchipped. And more then likely in 3 mo. Poli got to get neuterd too and microchipped. Not looking forward to it either. Will be thinking about your Baby !

| Murphy and I will keep you and Tiger in our prayers Des. It is all going to work out great - I am a big believer of positive confessions. When I had Murphy done at the yound age of 5 months old he was so sacked out afterwards. He did not even want to move at all. As long as you put him somewhere out of reach from Annika I think he will not even care about her being there. It will be afterwards you might have to keep thier rough play to a minimum. It was very sad but in a few days he was back to himself. From what I have heard the boys jump back pretty fast. Give Tiger some kisses from us and we will hear from you when he is back home safely.

| Des - we will be thinking of Tiger and sending well wishes your way. He will be just fine, but it will be very strange for you to be home and not have him there with you that evening. The vet may let you come and visit him later that afternoon if you want (mine did since Sissy also stayed overnight). When you bring him home, I'm hoping they will have given him some kind of pain medicine, so he will probably still be pretty groggy. If he allows it, why not just hold him lots that day. He'll most likely feel much better by Saturday, so you may not have to keep him separate from Annika. But for sure by the time you go to work on Monday, he will be his regular self again so you shouldn't need to worry about keeping him apart from Annika. Keeping his belly band on so he doesn't lick the wounds might be a good idea for a few days, too. Sissy send hims lots of kisses!!

| I know it's awful to leave them, especially when they have to stay overnight, but even if we tell you not to worry, you will! Just watch them very carefully when you bring him home. x-pen when you can't.

| Kona, Puppy Doe, and I all are sending our best wishes to Tiger. We hope he has a few restful days at home. Give Tiger big hugs and kisses from all of us! (Also give some to Annika so she doesn't feel left out of getting all of the attention.) |
