Choppers.

We had to drop poor Payton off at the vet office today.  Lately she hasn't wanted to eat very well, and we noticed a tooth had a crack in it.  She had the same thing happen to her last year, and that tooth needed to be extracted.  Luckily today, she didn't need it pulled.  They found a small abscess that I didn't see on the roof of her mouth right next to her tooth.  They stitched her up, and she's on the road to recovery.

When I dropped her off, I requested to pick her up soon after she woke up as I knew she would be nervous.  Since they know my background in vet care, they said it would be ok.  I picked her up just about an hour and a half after her surgery started.  She was so out of it.  I was walking her to my car and the wind blew her over.  I felt so bad for her I ended up carrying her back to the car.  She had a few funny moments, but all together did quite well.  She was able to eat a little dinner tonight, and I have a feeling she'll be back to normal tomorrow.  Enjoy these pathetic pictures of our Momma Dog... they were taken shortly after she came home.
