poor puppy :(

tofu got "fix'd" yesterday. it was a long day! it's a small operation that only takes 15 minutes, according to Di, who used to prep pups for the procedure. but poor puppy was @ Banfield for 9hrs! he must've been terrified, being kennel'd in a strange place, hav'n his arm shaved, bloodwork drawn, medicated, cone-head'd...:(


drop-off time was between 7-8, so i drop'd him off @ 7:45am, silly pup pull'd his way into the clinic & left me w/o say'n bye. he was too excited to care! hahaha. the weather was gloomy. i got a little iffy think'n about the 9hrs...

pick-up time was 5, so i arrived @ 5:02 :) i left work @ 4. it was nice & sunny out. i rush'd home to grab the car & go pickup tofu. when i got to Banfield, i fill'd out the paperwork, got the brief from the nurse, then wait'd & wait'd for the door to open to see tofu's happy face once he saw his mommy, Me! i even had my phone camera ready! silly me! then the nurse pop'd back out say'n he was too drug'd to walk, so i ran out to drive the car over to the clinic door. when i finally saw tofubaby, he was look'n so dozed, lost & wobbly. it was kinda funny! hehe. i carry'd him into the car, and drove home. got home, carry'd him inside, step'd back out to close the car door, and silly thing came right back to the door cos he didn't know why i went out. when i try'd to open the door, he was stuck in the doorway. his cone was on the door & i couldn't open the door. HAHAHHAA. my dad maneuver'd tofu outta the way, i came inside & tofu went straight to our room. poor thing was so dozy. 10 minutes later when my Mom came home, tofu try'd to jet out from my room to the door, i saw him wobble out & stop'd him halfway. he just sat down & gave up. HAHAHA. NOSY! or u can say LOVING! :) he greet'd grandma & stood by her side for a few, & i realized he hadn't peed yet, so i carry'd him to the backyard to pee. he let out a few drops, then continued to look confused, so i took him back home. gave him as much water as he want'd - a few bowls, and some chicken. for the next few hours, he just kept whining under his breath from discomfort & the anesthesia. he wasn't lick'n his wounds so i took the cone off as soon as he came home since it made him clumsy. 5-6 hours later, the anesthesia wore off & i put the cone back on him, to his discontent. so he gave me the "I AM MADDDDD @ YOU!" face. HAHAHA.


so then i had to think of a solution. could only think of using trunks for which i don't own any of. finally, i figure i could use tofu's favorite (& only) t-shirt, but wear them as pants. it work'd but every time i woke up from hear'n his lick'n, the t-shirt was off on the floor, so after like 4 times, i realized i had to wrap it tighter with a hair tie. it works! the Domo shirt keeps tofu from lick'n his parts & also makes him look super cute! doesn't he look super cute? :)


today, tofu's pretty much back to his normal self. he's a little whiny still, but he usually whines whenever i'm home cos he wants to go out for walks or go play. he's snoozing at the moment, just as he does on normal days. DUDE, this pup can sleep! Hahaha. :)
2 more weeks, then puppy can play with his friends again :)
