Sweet little Cooper, Surgery is never fun

He loves to snuggle with us at night. This particular night, he was very affectionate. I took it all in.

Little did he know tomorrow he was going to get his man parts disassembled.

Get used to being like this sloth, Coop. You’re going to have to do lots of resting.

And he did. He was out and had a great night of sleep.

The next morning, we were to be at the vet at 7:30am. I took Tatum with me and then dropped her off at school. He was not ready at all.

There was a long line when we got there, so we waited…and waited.

Finally, he got his mini-physical. Look how much he has grown at 9 months!
10.6 lbs! He’s gained 4 lbs.

Well, we missed him all day, but he was ready to come home after I picked up Tot from school.

He was a bit groggy and on a bunch of pain meds. Ouch! But the little cone will help him not lick it. This cone of shame is not his best look. It’ll be OK, Coopy-head.

I don’t like this, Mommy. I cannot eat, play or cuddle with you all. Yuk!

He has been having such a hard time getting his toys and playing. He cannot put them under the couch anymore! Oh, the sadness.

He did have success grabbing the rope eventually.

That night, he didn’t even want to eat.

My friend, Kellye offered a better cone for Coopy. This one is more malleable. Hopefully he’ll cheer up a bit.

WE love you SOOOOO much, little puppy. You’ll be fine in about a week.
