Back to business.

Back to business. Ate part of a can of wet food, and now he's chewing a bone. He honestly seems to feel better than he did before the surgery. I am so happy to see improvement! ❤❤❤

Riding home in a laundry basket.

Riding home in a laundry basket. He can walk, but tires fast. Wanted him to be as comfy as possible.

Scooter is doing great and I can pick him up anytime!

Scooter is doing great and I can pick him up anytime! I am SO happy!

I only slept maybe an hour after after my 3 hour nap last night, and that was after my 3 hours of sleep the night before. I've been a wreck. I think I am going to nap before I get him, so that my brain won't be mush if he needs me. I feel like this room is spinning right now. I don't think I have a choice. 😕 Hearing that he was doing great was SUCH A RELIEF!

I was so exhausted that I fell asleep on the couch.

I was so exhausted that I fell asleep on the couch. Woke up hoping it was 6 or 7. No such luck. 🙁 I am going to bum around on here and hopefully get drowsy again. I have a very hard time not letting my brain run away with me - especially when things are going on with my family. The house has been too quiet without Scoot here. 😕 I can't wait to have his noisy butt back home.

Even though Scooter was doing well earlier...

Even though Scooter was doing well earlier you know that I'm going to worry until I get him back home. The first 24 hours after surgery are critical, so... I am optimistic, but I know he's not out of the woods yet. 

Does anyone happen to know if Dr. Long has a tech that stays there or checks in over night? I didn't think of asking before they closed, but it sure would ease my mind if they did.

THE VET SAID THAT SCOOTER IS DOING WELL!!!

THE VET SAID THAT SCOOTER IS DOING WELL!!! They are keeping him overnight, of course, and that's ok. I just ugly cried happy tears so hard!

I can't even tell you how much I love my stubborn little bad dog. ❤❤❤❤❤

I'm home.

I'm home.  I think I did ok on my test, but even if I failed it... well, I forgive myself.  I'm running on less than 3 hours of sleep and all I can think about is Scooter.  I have a migraine coming and I am terrified that I might get bad news.

I'm supposed to call the vet at 3.  I'm about to take some Excedrin and see if I can feel a little less like hell right now.  Thanks to everyone who's wished us well.  I really appreciate the comfort.  This has been one of those days where driving off a cliff sounds like a form of being kind to myself.

I will share news as soon as I have it.  ❤
