Maybee got spayed today.

[MontanaMama]

It was a hard day for her…the vet said she howled unless a tech held her in their lap while she came out of anesthesia. Maybee had a designated staff person with her until I picked her up. The cone of shame is a disaster…she flails like a crazy person if she has to wear it. The t-shirt works way better…it covers her belly so she can’t worry her stitches. I just gave her a pain pill and will take her out to potty before snuggling her into bed with me. So glad this day is behind us.

1. My baby was buzzed after she had the procedure

and I had to look for her in my tiny apt. I found her sitting between the curtains and the wall in a stupor.

2. Awww! Poor Maybee!

Even though it’s what’s best for her, it’s tough for us dog moms to see them in pain. I hope she’s feeling much better tomorrow.

The T shirt is a great idea!

3. Hang tough Maybee -

each day will be better!

Such intelligent eyes!

4. She's such a beautiful girl!

5. Aww!

What a sweet face!

I like the T shirt idea, seems less traumatizing.

6. She's doing better with it than the cone.

Although, she still hates it. My son went through his t shirt drawer for 15 minutes before he found one he thought “looked cute” on her.

7. Glad it's working so well.

She looks adorable in it, too, which is a nice plus.

I don't blame animals one bit for hating those cones. I wouldn't want to wear one, either.

8. That's funny!

Those are such amazing dogs. I've known more than a few of them. I think they're Montana's State Dog aren't they?

[MontanaMama]

9. Damn! I don't know.

I didn’t know MT had a state dog!

I’ve always had border collies…something about the organized chaos of their personalities that speaks to me. They’re smart and sweet tempered and such good companions…and they keep me moving outside and in the hills. Not a bad thing.

14. It's a good kind of mutualism.

I was joking about the state dog.

10. For Maybee Baby

[MontanaMama]

11. Oh my gosh!

I completely forgot about this song. I need to watch AG again. We came Maybee “Baby” all the time too.

12. Awww! Poor puppy, but what a good idea!

When my little Jack got neutered (and he was a year old since he kept being treated for heath issues before that), he had to wear "the cone of shame" and kept bumping into things. *sigh* I finally tried crating him and bringing the crate right where we (including his best doggy pal who lay down right next to the crate) were sitting - but fortunately he didn't have to wear it long. Your idea is better... Wishing her a return to good heath soon.

13. That expression on her face . . .

. . . says "You have to sleep at sometime . . . and then . . . "

[MontanaMama]

16. You nailed it.

It’s all about wearing me down.

15. Beautiful Maybee!!!

We found a stray Pomeranian many years ago. Someone dumped her off at a dumpster at a mall. Fur was missing from flea alergies, but she was a wonderful sweetheart. And she eventually turned into a gorgeous long-nosed Pomeranian with lots of fur.
She wasn't spayed, so we had to get it done.
It was so sad leaving her with the vet, she looked at me like I was abandoning her.
But she was her cheerful silly self when I picked her up (albeit a little drowsy).

Your mom loves you, and is protecting you.
