Monday August 11th, 2008.

Well...here we are, the night before the surgery! Why am I so nervous? Probably because Jabby is my best friend and I only want what's best for her. My vet has recommended this vet because she has the utmost confidence in his abilities. I really like my vet, so I know she wouldn't treat me wrong.
I managed to get Jabby out for a little walk around the block, before the skies opened about 5 or so houses from home. After, the 2 of us went out to Pet Valu to get a can of Merrick's Thanksgiving Day Dinner and she got a heaping spoonful in her bowl. An a cookie too, for good measure! I washed up her big blanket and will prep the living room tomorrow before she comes home. I gave her a bath last week and she was like a puppy afterwards, playing in the towels and zipping around. I know once she's recovered she'll be like this again, it was nice to see a bit of the "ol" Jabby.
We've had a lot of lightning and thunder this afternoon, so she's currently curled up against my chest as I type with one hand. :)
God Bless Jabby!

Good luck Jabby! I know she will do great. If you find she is in pain after the surgery, you can ask your vet to prescribe some children's liquid codeine and it's also a good idea to give her some Liquid Glucosamine. I know that I recently saw it at our local Loblaws store and it's also available at the Global/Ryan's Pet Foods chain.
