Please send good energy & prayers for my little boy, Pippin who will be neutered tomorrow morning...I know he'll be fine but I always worry myself senseless when any of my critters have to be put under for surgery....I'm also having him microchipped at that time....He doesn't know what's coming...The poor sap!
-
Give Pippin a big hug from us. Will he have to stay overnight?

No, thankfully I'll be able to bring him home tomorrow afternoon.

Poor little guy! I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
-
Good, he needs to sleep in his own bed.
-
We're sending our love and good wishes to Pippin and a sense of calm for you!!!
-
We're sending good wishes your way! :)

Pippin looks like he has some nice bone to him...How much does he weigh...He almost looks bigger than the older male u have LOL...I still cant get over my girl being 45.2lbs at just 15 weeks LOL
I will keep him in my thoughts
-
Good luck Pippin :)
-
Lucy, Bella, Pearl, Casper & I all are sending good luck wishes for you!!
-
Pippin - Rocky says good luck, and doesn't it just figure, you no sooner get'em then they're cuttin' them off!! :o Ain't it a b*tch!!!
-
Lots of hugs for Pippin! Don't worry momma he's a big boy. He'll do just fine. Is it with a laser?
-
Good luck Pip!

Ty everyone!...I was amazed at the number of well wishing for my little boy!!...Ty!...Ty!!!...Pippin weighed a little over 63 lbs. last week...he'll be 7 months old tomorrow...Sam my is at 110 now at a little over 1 yr... & weighed 43 lbs. at 14 weeks so you never can tell...Jackie's dogs are on the smaller side of standard so Pippin will not be a big Pyr...Unless he gets some kickback from a mutant monster gene...lol!
No, no laser...My vets are "country vets"...They're good & combine a great deal of knowlege with some good ol' fashioned comman sense but I don't think they do the laser neuter yet.
Tina, do you think that's the reason why Samson practically breaks his neck (& mine) to get into the vet's office AFTER his neuter?...I mean, he got fixed & after that was all about getting in that door...Way more so than before...I thought he was just not right!...lol!
Again, ty everyone!...I can't hardly wait until he's back home tomorrow though!
-
K...I got him dropped off at the vets...I took him back to the kennels myself as he has never been in a crate or anything like that...He looked so confused with all the barking (were probably only 5 dogs there but it sounded like 20) & being left there...Broke my heart. :'( I then got home & took Samson for a walk because he was whining & scratching at the door when I left with Pippin...Sammy has NEVER been a whiner & never scratched at a door when we left so I felt bad for him too....I'll be able to bring Pippin home after 4 p.m....He'll be minus a couple parts, microchipped & kennel cough vaccinated...I made sure they specifically noted I DID NOT want his dewclaws removed...I am having the pre surgery bloodwork done & the heart ecg or whatever it's called so I think he'll be fine but I am still feeling worried...I just can't wait until it's done!!!

Just wanted to let you know I am thinking about Pippin. How is Sammy doing without his buddy at home?

Lisa, funny you should ask...lol...We posted at the same time...See my post above your last post & ty for thinking of us this morning. :)
-
We are sending hugs to you Gypsy so that you can relax until your baby is home.
-
Good luck there boyfriend! Let us know how you are when it's all over!
-
Thanks guys!...I'll let ya' all know how he is this afternoon!
-
Im sure everything will be great.. I know how it is though. When I dropped Irie off to be spayed..i started crying. Lol - what a big baby I am. Here I am a nurse (in the ER no less) and I am crying...
-
Everything will be fine. ;) It is hard to drop them off. Farley is going near the end of Oct. :'( I do not know how I willl keep him calm...hmmm..I better ask for some drugs...lol
-
It's for the best, you're doing the right thing. We thought maybe we wanted to breed Drake, but he got so agressive after a while and that wasn't fun. So he got snipped and he is a happy dog. But they never forget where they got snipped, he still is hesitant to get out of the truck every time we take him to the vet. He's like, "I ain't going in there! Everytime I do something seems to get removed or I get probed in places that are supposed to be exit only!" ;D
-
I did the same thing with Sugar Bear. I was crying all the way home. Then I called once an hour to make sure he was ok.

Hi Gypsy, how are you holding up?
Lisa
-
I did good!....Only called twice & the receptionist called me as soon as he was done with surgery & was waking up to let me know...They know me too well! :o...Everything went fine & I'll pick him up around 4:30! ;D
-
I'm glad everything went well with Pippin. Kiah is sick today.
-
Go get that boy, and give him lots of extra kisses.

oh that's so good to hear.
-
I'm so glad it's all over and he's okay! NOW, can he have his reward???!!!!!
........and I'm proud of you for holding it all together!
-
He's home safe & sound & seems to be just fine if not a little dopey...I'm glad we are done with it!...Thanks everyone for the support & well wishes today! :)

& yes, he did get his reward...lol.. .Part of a McDonalds double cheeseburger he shared with Samson...Not too much though as I wasn't so sure he wouldn't bring it back up so soon after surgery. :-\
-
I am happy that he is home resting comfortably
-
I am glad to hear that Pippin is doing well after his snip snip. Lotsa hugs from Chicago way.

I'm so glad everything went well! I get the same case of "nerves" when I have to leave my babies at the Vet's place, too!!
-
Ty again all!...he is acting wierd today...Acts like he wants to go out & I open the door...He walks out onto the deck, turns around & comes back in, turns around & goes back out...Its as if he doesn't know what he wants to do...Also jumped right up on top of me on the couch this morning...He has never ever done that & only has gotten up on the couch on his own like twice & didn't look very sure about being there...This morning he jumped right on me & snuggled in...I don't remember Samson acting like this...In fact I had to make a huge effort to slow Samson down...He didn't hardly miss a beat...I hope he is acting more normal soon. :(
-
Sugar Bear was very weird for three days after his snip.
-
K..ty Lisa!...That makes me feel better...It is wierd how Samson didn't act like anything happened & Pippin is acting strange.
-
I just made sure I stayed very close at hand. It was as if he was scared that something was going to get him. That now has me thinking that after the snip is when Sugar Bear started having his tummy problems. Time to give the vet another call today.

Pippins kind of acting like that too...Like the devil himself might be around any corner...I called the vet & she said that the enesthesia is hard on them & he may just still be freaked about yesterday in general...He did take a few mouthfuls of food this morning but when I walked into the kitchen he scurried to the family room like he was in trouble or something...I'll just keep cuddling him & stay with him.
-
I spent the three days after Sugar Bear's snip making him an even bigger baby. Give him a hug from us, as if you need a reason to give him another hug. How is Sammy doing?

Sammy is just fine...I think he is happy the devil puppy is not jumping all over him or trying to rip his face off...lol...Sa m seems fine but he has been barking alot for no apparent reason for like 3 days...If he doesn't stop I'm mailing him to you Lisa!!!...lol! :D
-
Fine with me. I bet Dixie would love having Sugar Bear and Sammy to jump on. She sounds so much like my boy.

I'm gald Pip the snipped is doing ok.

Chelle, How was Pippins pre-surgery tests? You never did say. I assume they were normal or you would have but wanted to double check... Jackie
-
She only called the VET twice...lol She has been on the phone to me at least three times a day since a week before his surgery and every day since...lol
Now Chelle, you know I dont mind. Just giving you ----!
