: Grace is at the Vet STILL
: lins_saving_grace February 05, 2008, 06:19:29 PM
I held her for a shot in the butt and they took her back.  Dr. Rich said I will most likely get to take her home today at 4:30.

My thougths are with Dr. Rich, you and Grace!!!  I hope you have as much of a stress free day as possible.  Are you going to have an interview today?

i have the option for an interview.  this place was advertising for a job with no salary listed.  she called me last night and said they only wanted to pay $8 - 10 an hour and that included babysitting kids at the law firm.  I told her i wanted to make more but can she meet me 1/2 way at $12 an hour.  She said she might.  that's a big might.

My thoughts are with both of you. She will be just fine and hopefully back to herself in no time. She has to be....I miss the pics of your outings with her.  :) :)

Don't worry Lin!! (Easier said than done right? haha) Grace sounds like she is in good hands with Dr. Rich. My thoughts are with you two today. I can't wait to here how it all went. And I can't wait to see some post op pics of Miss Grace.

i went to pick her up and bring her home and she didn't want to come out of her kennel.  so she's sleeping at the vet's office tonight.  but she is ok.  she looks a little drunk and out of it.  i gave her a big kiss and a sratch on the head and left her with the other dogs.   they have a big blanket for her to sleep on and they cover them up with another blanket. 
she watched me come in and out of the room trying to egg her out so she is alert.  i think she's just really spacey and beat.  i hope she's not mad at me.

Thanks everyone. 
It is so quiet here tonight.  i'm going almost mad.  i look in the bed room and expect to see her sitting there on the bed looking back at me.  and it is dinner time. 
it's like my entire schedule is off now.  i can't imagine spending the whole night without her here.

AWww Gracie--glad to hear all went well. Sorry you had to leave her there tonight. She was obviously very comfy there though. Nothing worse than trying to take a "drunk' rotti potty---trust me  ::)  Puck came home still a lil "drunk" from a procedure--he was a tough boy to steer loaded...lol

Oh I'm glad to hear she is ok. No I doubt very much that she is mad at you. She's just really stoned right now and didn't want to loose the buzz by having to go home with mom. LOL :)

Oh Lin, I'm so sorry to see that Grace had to have ACL surgery.  But super glad to hear that the surgery went well.  Big hugs to both you and her.

I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for Grace!! She must like the vet alot to not want to bother leaving that should make you feel good to know.

Aww!  Gracie Grace is all looped from the drugs!!  I'm super happy the surgery went well, and excited for you that you'll get to bring her home tomorrow.  :)  I'm sorry that you had to leave her there tonight, but I'm sure that she was just all snuggly and cozy, and didn't even realize that you were there cause she was all doped up.  ;)

Get some sleep tonight, and be happy in knowing that she's gonna be all better really soon.  ;)

Thinking of you Lin and sending speedy recovery thoughts to Grace! ;) :-*

I'm excited for you to pick up your little girl tomorrow  ;)

I'm sorry you are going through this. But I'm glad that the surgery went well. I'm sure Grace is not mad at you. (You ever had the "pleasure" of feeling loopy before? :^) She may not even remember you coming, even if she did seem to acknowlege your presence. I had to leave Cody at the vet last night and when I picked her up today she must have greeted me for 5 minutes. That is the neat thing about puppy dogs - they are full of love. And you are soooooo good to Grace that I am sure that she adores you. Poor pooch ... she probably couldn't even stand up.

Just know that Cody and I send you best wishes. And I can't wait to hear from you when you do get her.

Take care,
Terri
