recovering pooch

we just picked our little pooch up from the vets office. i've never seen a dog who was more calm. they must have used a TON of sedatives for his surgery. he was walking all wobbly and sideways and swaying. i felt terrible! so he got home and staggered into the livingroom and just layed down in the dinning room. he hasn't eaten since 9 pm lastnight, so we gave him a huge bowl of food and he just layed down there and ate it. then i helped him get up on the couch, but kev brought out his "bed" from the bedroom and was really excited about that, so he layed on that on the floor instead. his little paw paws and ears are cold so i put that sheet on top of him. and he won't drink any water. so we're majorly babying him today. i bought him a huge raw-hide bone because he loves those-he knew what it was even before i took it out of the package!!!

oh! also-they trimmed his toenails!!! without even asking (he needed it soooo badly!) and they didn't charge for it! AND they removed his choke chain, (which i'm assuming has been on him since he was a puppy, on account of it being so small that i couldn't remove it myself!) and they didn't charge for that either!!
AND we were supposed to give them a $40 off certificate for the castration that we got from the Mountgomery County Animal Shelter (where we got him from). we didn't have it with us, so the girl was like "oh, your total is $105 even" and kevin said "oh-did you take the cupon off?" and she said "oh-that'll be......$20"
um....what? okay!

i don't know how she did her math or how smart the vets are there, but we're pretty happy about that!!!

okay i've got to go drain my pasta!
