Surgery Day For Our Little Pup Mush

United States
June 17, 2026 9:36am CST
Happy Wednesday Everyone! a bright and sunny day here this morning. Possible thunderstorms this afternoon but overall it looks like a good day. Our day started off with an early morning dropoff for our pup Mush who needed surgery. The stress alone for us is terrible but the poor little thing had no idea what was going on and was shaking so bad when she was dropped off. The only thing we could think was that she was probably thinking she was being abandoned. The surgery would be pretty routine for a young dog but considering Mush is 16 yrs old it's risky. But, the good news is the vet just called and said she did well and was in recovery. She'll be able to come home later this afternoon. A big sigh of relief as all of us pet lovers can understand. It's crazy how a small furry little creature can creep into our hearts. So, with that good news I'm enjoying my coffee and exhaling the breath I knew I was holding. That's my day so far

@rebelann unfortunately we all have and it never gets easier. But, at least we've had that unconditional love from our furry pets and made our hearts smile

Very hot here, we are preparing for another heat wave, but it's normal, summer is coming. Poor Mush, they are so stressed when they are not in their usual place. I am glad she is coming home and she is well.

I'm so thankful the surgery went well and they did if early this morning. I can't imagine having to wait all day to hear if she was okay. I'm sure she'll be happy to come home and get some extra loving. Guess we'll all be complaining about the heat. Feels like yesterday we were complaining about the cold

Yes, at her age any surgery would be quite a concern. She must have been in tip top shape to wake so well and then be able to return to her 2 Mommies at home to spoil and pamper her. She will be better at home with her girls.

Thank the Lord it went well. She’s such a doll. I’d be scared too if it were Sadie.
