About 7AM we headed down to Central Animal Hospital in New Haven! When we got inside I noticed 3 stacked cages in the corner of the waiting room and guess what was inside these cages! KITTIES! I barked my hello and told dad that I wanted to touch noses with them but he said NO!
It wasn't long before a nice lady came out from the back and slipped a skinny red, white and blue lead over my head (mom was waiting for it to snap at any moment because it was really wimpy for a strong girl like me) and put a hospital band around my neck and my pretty red Airedale collar was un-hooked and given to mom and dad to take home with them. Mom and dad both said they'd be back soon to pick me up and the lady took me behind closed doors and I went willingly!
There are lots of strangers here and funny smells and bright lights! This is a very strange place but I know you are all with me in spirit and I know that mom and dad are coming back so I'm trying not to be afraid! Thank you all for your support! It means a lot to me and Mitch and mom and dad!
It's around 10:30 and my vet just called mom and dad and told them that my booboo surgery went just fine but they found a broken toofie in my mouth that needs to be removed! Mom had no clue that I even had a broken toofie seeing as I never told her! Do you think the bad boy was a marrow bone? Mom will ask the vet and see what his thoughts are!

Look what the UPS man just delivered for my sissy!
It's a soft e collar and mom wanted me to model it for you but I ran away screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mom figures that Maggie can wear the hard plastic transparent lampshade throughout the day and then have something more comfy to use at night! Mom is hoping that Maggie can still sleep on her back because this is her most favorite way to sleep. She's old and we think comfort is important for her!I miss my sissy! I want her to come home! We'll keep you posted!
So until next time...................
Yer friend,
Mitch
Will she get a khytty to home with?
ReplyDeleteLike a vet souvenir?
Please take khare of your sissie and your mom too!

Hi Mitch and Maggie and Mom!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of all of you and I am so happy that everything went so well. I am so glad they found the broken tooth. What a good vet you have and it is doubely great when you can piggyback anthesia with getting tooth work done. no sense in doing that twice!
i love that mom has the collar already! she is so ontop of things.
we will check back in on you later!
love you!
m & e
Thanks for the update Mitch. We're sending positive thoughts up to Connecticut for Maggie. She'll be right matie, don't you worry. She's one tough lady.
ReplyDeleteWe know all about broken toofies. Yep we suspect it was a marrowbone.
Get well soon Maggie.
From your maties

Aww Mitch! You are such a good brother. I like the comfy cone- I know that Maggie will love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope Maggie gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Mitchy,
ReplyDeleteSending some big hugs your way (for you and your family!) I am sure brave Maggie is doing just great, and I can't wait until she is back home with you!
Love Clover xo
No bitey-face for a while, Mitch. Maybe you'll both get the top part of the pizza, the soft, cheesey, yummy part. Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie and Mitch,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
Love,
Homer
PS: Does the soft collar works well?
Oh Mitch you look so sad. I wish I could be with you and wait for Maggie.... She will be fine, please don't worry.
ReplyDeleteKisses, Faya
Hey Mitch - Let Maggie know we're praying for her, OK? She'll be home soon, you try to keep your parents entertained so they won't worry too much! We'll pray for them, too. Our mom's always a wreck when we're gone!
ReplyDeleteLuv,
Dave
PS: Maybe the cats are parting gifts for later? Ha wooooo!
Teka thinks that comfy collar looks neat, but she says to tell Maggie that the hard collar works as both a weapon and a shovel. We are thinking healing thoughts.

Maggie, I hope you get to go home soon and heal fast. I bet you'll feel lots better after your booboo surgery and having the broken tooth pulled.
ReplyDeleteMitch, be careful with Maggie when she comes home. I don't think she'll be in the mood to play which I know is what you're going to want to do. This is a perfect oportunity to use the poor doggy eyes and get your parents to do whatever you want them to do to keep you away from Maggie and entertained. It worked when my catbrother was sick.
Tell your Mom good thinking on the collar. I didn't even know they made the soft ones! Your Mom deserves some pizza and icecream for finding one!!
Kaos
Maggie
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to come and be your nurse? I am not as trained as Asta and Lacie, but I would try very hard to help makes you all better.
Get well hugs, bellyrubs, smoochies
Pearl & Nanny
Maggie, we are sooooo glad your surgery is over! Make sure to ask for lots of treats when you get home! I bet your pawrents will give you anything you want! You probably shouldn't have ice cream tonight, but...maybe tomorrow! Mitch, you need to take very good care of your sister! Maybe she'll share her cones with you! Heehee!
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
Maggie, I hope you are home safe and well,full of pizza!! Take care of her , Mom too Mitch!!

I'm so glad the booboo surgery went well! Have a speedy recovery!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaggie, your mommee is nice to get you a soft ecollar. I didn't have one when I had my booboos and it was so uncomfy.
ReplyDeleteGus and I hope you get betters soon!

I am so glad that everything went so smoothly for you! I knew you will be alright! I hope your wound will heal soon.

Sweet sweet Maggie,
ReplyDeleteWe hope you start feeling better soon... remember not to 'disturb' the stitches and I am sure it will heal beautifully.
** Sending you hugs (Huskee) and puppy kisses (Hershey) from across the miles **
Oh Maggie, I just saw that you were home and I'm so, so, so glad! I'm glad that broken toofie is gone, too. You'll soon be able to chew all the pizza you want, I'm sure. Yep, that's good news. Woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Joey
So glad you are home!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that everything went well with your surgery!
I hope you can sleep without problem!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

M&M, Cookie sure is a very nice pup. In fact all the pups jie jie had fostered will never misbehave when jie jie is around. When they were all with us, if jie jie think that they are playing too rough, she only need to shout a "Hey! What are you all doing?" and they will all freeze and come gather around her with innocent look. I guess Cookie never forget that. hee..

WOOHOO!
ReplyDeleteWe are sooo very happy that the surgery went well!
Mitch give her extra kisses from us so she feels better faster!

I am so glad you are back home safe and sound. I hope your family is extra sweet to you to make up for having to have surgery during a holiday week.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Maggie, Mitch, and your Humans!

Aw.. I hope you're better today Maggie. ;)

We're glad Maggie's surgery went well and her booboo is gone. That comfort cone looks interesting. Just don't let Mitch use it as a chew toy while Maggie is wearing it.
ReplyDeleteHappy new years!!!!
Big hugs to you Maggie.. Glad the surgery went well and your vet did a thorough exam on you and found that tooth. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteOh Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I had no idea that you had a boo-boo! I am happy that you are better now though! Yippee!
I once fractured my tooth on a cow hoof chewy thing - they were really good for keeping my teeth clean but I guess my teeth were too soft or something cause I split my tooth in half and had to have it removed!! You would think my mom would know better because she is a vet! hmph! No more bones of any type for us. Some dogs do fine but some dogs can fracture their teeth on hard chew toys.
I am happy that you are home safe and soud.
Happy new year!
love

Maggsie Girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm so stinkin' glad your boo boo surgery went smoothly and that you were home in no time! The only concern I had was that your boo boo wouldn't want to leave such a sweet girl as you. Obviously your vet took care of that.
So, about your toofie! Did maybe the other part of it get broken off in the booty of one naughty little brother? Hmmm? Or, have you been hunting big game out in the woods?
Stella & I are sending you loads of healing goober smooches and snuggles. My girl wishes she could give you an atomic booty scritch to help relax you.
Take it easy, sistah!
Goober love & more smooches,
STanley
Maggie, we are sooooo glad you are home where you belong! We hope you had a great night and feel much better today!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Y-aire!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
Maggie! Glad to hear your booboo surgery went all fine! I've never had an ecollar before, what does it feel like?
ReplyDeleteOh, Maggie, that was so nice of your mom to buy you a comfie cone. Mom says she's never heard of such a thing, but what a great idea!
