Meet Eddy: The Day I Was Neutered

In late February, my people had me neutered. I had no idea what I was in for that day. My mommy had to drop me off at the vet at 7AM. I started out very excited since I love to go for car rides. However, when we pulled into the vet I knew something was up! I don't mind going to the vet... I think it'll be a different story next time we visit though. My mommy had to fill out some paperwork at the desk. We were both very stressed at this point. I was getting manic and pulling on my leash a lot--I didn't have my harness on so I was way stronger than my mom and she couldn't concentrate to complete the paperwork. I think she was also annoyed that the vet tech was not helping at all! After my mom finally signed the papers, the tech took me to get my weight and told my mommy that they would call by noon. My mom said that she wanted to cry after leaving me there, especially since as she was walking out the door the tech was struggling to control me while she got my weight. What happened after that I'd rather not discuss here...

The vet called my people at noon and said that it went well but that I should stay until 2 PM. She also told them that I pooped while I was there and she was concerned because it still looks very soft so she wanted to repeat the stool culture that I had done a few months ago. (I think I'm beginning to be a very expensive puppy...) My people came right at 2 PM and not a minute later to bring me home! I was in the back in a kennel but could hear their voices and started whining and barking. They knew it was me, too, and my daddy said he wanted to run back there and let me out right away! The tech told us that we should definitely keep the cone on me because I was acting so hyper and crazy already while I was in the kennel. However, when I finally felt safe back in my home I couldn't even keep my eyes open! My pupils were like pin points and I was falling asleep standing up! Of course my people thought this was hilarious and took a video of me trying really hard not to fall asleep.

Here is a link of the video:

Try not to laugh too hard! Beware of the adorableness!!

I slept for most of the day, but had all of my energy back by the next morning :) So much for thinking that this would make me a calmer puppy. Joke's on you Mom and Dad!

I didn't bother my incision too much so if my people were home then I didn't have to wear that ridiculous cone. I only had to wear it when I was in my kennel alone. Mommy let me sleep in bed with her for a few nights, too, so I wouldn't have to wear the cone at night. It was almost impossible to lay my head down with that thing on! Here are some pictures of me from that day.
