Monte had his dental surgery today. He seems to be doing well. A little wobbly, unsure of his step on account of all the medication but pain management seems to be under control. He was friendly when J brought him home, sought me out and accepted a few pats, circled his turf a bit, then plopped down and gave himself a spit bath. Just the spots where he was needle stuck for meds and labs. I was surprised to see him eating so soon after the procedure. The hygienist said to offer it but not to worry about how much he did or didn't eat. I offered a little and he ate every last bite. Now he's down for a nap and knowing he's okay I can feel a lot more relaxed. I'm lucky because the bill today was very close to the lower end of the quote and in addition J and my son paid part of Monte's vet bill for me as an early Mother's Day gift. Monte you stole my present!
