Cha Cha's Operation

My beautiful puppy, (well she is not really a puppy anymore) was speyed on Thursday last week.  Hovsep, Christian and I always wanted Charleigh to have one litter of puppies, because we think she is very pretty and our other dog Rio is very old, so we thought we would keep one of her pups.  In recent times I have started studying as well as working full time and now helping run Hovsep's new company, I find I don't have much free time and I would definitely not have time to look after a litter of puppies.  After a bitch has had 4 season's their risk of uterine and breast cancer increase 10% with each season.  Charleigh has been on heat 4 times, so it was time to get her done.

This is Charleigh the day we bought her home.  Very cute don't you think?

Christian and I dropped her off at the vet at 8.30 in the morning and picked her back up at 5.00pm.  She was very dizzy and kept falling over.  She has a bucket on her head which is causing all sorts of dramas.  She keeps walking into walls and doors and mostly us, which hurts.  My lower legs are covered in bruises.  The bucket needs to stay on for 10-14 days and she needs to be kept inside and quiet for that period.  She thinks all her Christmas' have come at once, as she is normally an outdoor dog.  Every time she has a drink of water she knocks the bowl over because of the bucket.  I really look forward to the 14 days being up, and she won't know what has hit her when she has to go back outside.  Rio is really missing her and feeling very left out.  We can't let Rio inside because he keeps sniffing at her stitches, and knowing him he will think he is doing her a favour and will lick them and try to chew them out.
