A week in the life of Teddy.

A week ago today Teddy went to the vets to be spayed. We dropped her off in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon. She was not only spayed but had her vaccines updated and was also micro-chipped.

She did very well and was so pleased to see us when her vet led her into the waiting room. Here she is that same evening. She had a pain pill and was comfortable.

She snuggled up to William when he came home. Right after this picture was taken she was romping with Blondie almost like nothing happened.

She had such a tiny incision and four little pink stitches.

The next day I tried to keep her from rough housing with the other pets as much as I could. Here she is on my bed.

Soon she was going shopping again.

She has started barking at people in stores if they seem to sneak up on her. I think her days as a shopping companion are coming to an end. She's not at all aggressive and tries to hide behind me. If people ignore her she wags her bob tail and sniffs them...it's when people come around corners and surprise her she gets scared. The people who work in the dog friendly stores have been very patient with her trying to make friends, but she remains very shy. I think all the exposure to different places and people have really helped her, but she will always be nervous around new people.

Today Brad took her stitches out and it must have made her feel much better because she raced around the house with her toys most of the evening. We always have our pups spayed before they are 6 months old and have had trouble free healthy girls.
