OH, MY POOR BUBBE

Well, I thought we were just going in for a mani/pedi this morning, but as with most things in life, it was a little more complicated than that.  My poor bubbe has an abscess in his mouth that needs to be fixed, so he's going to have surgery on Wednesday morning.

I was doing just fine until the vet tech came out and said that they needed to see me back in the exam room.  (Normally they take Stewey back and do whatever it is they do and return him to me freshly pedicured and happy to see me.)  Today, though, I walked in to find him being cuddled by his favorite assistant with a look on his face that said "How could you let this happen to me?"

Good grief, Charlie Brown!  I broke out into the ugly cry and practically had to be sedated.

So, if you would, please keep us in your thoughts these next couple of days.  I'm sure Stewey will be fine...it's me I'm worried about!  I will take him in on Wednesday morning at 7:30 and should be able to pick him up later that day so nobody will need to supervise me overnight.

Do you think they would let me crawl up on the table and hold him during the surgery?

Oey....they really should make pills for this.

  1. I am so the same way with Emma. I am more of a wreck than she is when she has to have anything done! I'm sure Stewey will be fine, too! Take care, the both of you!

  2. I'm the same with my two, I'm sure little Stewy will be fine but we'll keep him in our thoughts. You as well!

  3. I'm so glad they found this when they did...abscesses can be nasty things if they go on too long. Yes, it IS very scary - but it would be far scarier if his appointment had been next week or the week after. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers!

  10. Oh no! I am sure that Stewey will be fine and dandy in no time at all...
    You probably do not want to know about Chatty and his teeth. I took him in for a cleaning and he came home less 4 teeth (one of them being one of his large cat canines) now when he smiles at us...he looks like Hillbilly Chatty... :) He still loves us though! Hang in there!
