A Wednesday Morning with Our Brave Cockapoo

As the sun rises on this Wednesday morning, our household is slowly coming to life. The quiet hum of morning routines begins. But today, there’s an extra layer of tenderness in the air. Our beloved cockapoo, who had surgery last week, is the center of our attention.

A Week of Recovery

Last week, our little fur baby underwent a spaying operation. It was a necessary procedure, but that didn’t make it any easier to watch her go through it. The anxiety leading up to the surgery was palpable, and the relief we felt once it was over was immense. She came through like a champ, but the days since have been a careful dance of care and vigilance.

Post-Surgery Tenderness

Her wound is healing well, but it’s evident that it bothers her. The initial soreness has given way to an itch as it dries and heals. It’s heart-wrenching to see her try to resist the urge to scratch, knowing that doing so could slow her recovery. We’ve become adept at the gentle art of distraction, using treats and belly rubs to keep her from fussing with her stitches.

Closer Than Ever

In this time of recovery, she’s been closer to us than usual. Normally an independent little spirit, she’s now seeking comfort and reassurance more frequently. She curls up next to us, follows us from room to room, and gazes up with those big, trusting eyes. It’s as if she understands that we’re here to protect and care for her, and her gratitude is clear in every wag of her tail and nuzzle of her nose.

Another Vet Visit

Later today, we’ll be taking her back to the vet for a check-up. It’s a routine follow-up to ensure that her wound is healing properly and that there are no signs of infection. While she’s been a trooper, we’re still a bit nervous about the visit. We hope for a clean bill of health and the all-clear to let her return to her usual playful self.

Hope and Care

As we prepare for the vet visit, there’s a mix of hope and cautious optimism. We’ve done everything we can to ensure her recovery is smooth – from administering her medication on time to keeping her environment calm and clean. Our little girl has shown remarkable resilience, and we’re so proud of how well she’s handled everything.

The Journey of Healing

This week has reminded us of the deep bonds we share with our pets. They trust us implicitly, and in return, we do everything we can to keep them safe and healthy. It’s a journey of mutual care and love, one that deepens with every challenge we face together.

As I finish my Tea and prepare for the day ahead, I’m filled with gratitude for our brave little cockapoo. Her strength and spirit are inspiring, and I know that, with a bit more time and care, she’ll be back to her lively, joyous self. Here’s to a smooth vet visit and continued healing for our precious pup.
