Advice needed....my baby (puppy) is having surgery

Are you getting her fixed at the same time? Something I do for all my furkids is to leave with them one of their soft toys, and a blanket of theirs. It is just some comfort to them.

When Dino was so sick the last time, I was at the vet hospital with him from 8am to 9pm. I sat on a rolling chair in front of his cage, and talked to him. We both slept together, and my vet and all the techs were shocked with this. I don't think they realized how attached we are. It just really helped both Dino and myself.

Afterwards I sent the staff a fruit basket. And I gave the night nurse a tea pot she wanted from a local coffee/tea shop in town. She would rock and sing lulabies to Dino after I left. A previous patient donated a rocking chair to the vet hospital. The night nurse rocks the small animals when they are afraid, or just needing to have a mommy or daddy around. She fills that role beautifully.
