Peeper's Surgery


Well, Travis and I have now experienced the "pains" of putting a child (err...pup) through a surgery. Peeper had his little boy surgery this morning. We took him to the doctor at 8am and left him and headed to work. I was told to call back at 1:30pm to check on him and see if he was ready to go home. I just called and was told "Peeper is doing fine and is ready to go home." This made me feel good. He is going to hang out at the vet a bit longer (we don't get off work until about 4pm today) and then we will pick him up. Travis has had a lot more issues with this surgery than I have. Maybe it has something to do with he is a guy and Peeper is a boy so they have a "bond." I have been excited because I am tired of worrying about his "marking" problem he has started having. However, once we left him at the doctor I felt sad and just prayed that God would take care of the little man.

**update on Wed. 9/6: Peeper is doing great! He is back to his little hyper, playful self. We are still trying to keep in calm (esp. when playing with Nino) just to prevent anything from happening with his 3 stitches. I (Stephanie) will take him Saturday back to the vet to have the stitches removed. Last Friday after we got home from the vet, Peeper kind of moped around and laid in his bed. Starting on Saturday though, there was remarkable change.

I'm glad he's doing/feeling better. I'm sure this makes you feel better, too.
