Thought I wouldn't be, but I am... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lemonlauren · 03-03-2009, 11:54 PM

WORRIED. STRESSED. FEELING GUILTY. And pretty much everything else you can think of. Nikko is my first dog, and I don't have kids. We dropped him off to be neutered today at 5pm, and we get to pick him up tomorrow at 3pm.

I know, I know, neutering is totally routine. And I did order bloodwork, so I KNOW he's going to be fine. I just can't believe how freaked out I am, how nervous. He's been with us every waking and sleeping moment practically for three months now, and this is his first time away from home. Aaaargh! I told myself I wouldn't be like this, but I am. And I have nowhere else to vent but here... sorry.

I thought maybe I'd get my first full night's sleep tonight, one without whining, or pee trips, or jingling bells on his collar every time he turns around and lays back down. Now I know that instead I'll be sleeping less, and instead having nightmares with jingling collar bells and neutering horror stories, even though I know my fears should be unfounded. Uggh!

3pm tomorrow can't come soon enough. Though hopefully I'll have news sooner - I made them promise to call me as soon as he was successfully out of sugery, lol.

Prayers for you and Nikko. My Yogi goes in next Tues and although I keep telling myself it's no big deal, I'm already starting to get anxious.

Let us know when he's out.

Morkie4 · 03-04-2009, 06:27 AM

It's called the "Mommy worries".......and we all get them when our babies have surgery. I am sure they will be fine!!!!

linsvs · 03-04-2009, 06:31 AM

I bet it was a long night for you .. BUT today is here and you will have your baby soon!!!

Kaytlynsmom · 03-04-2009, 06:50 AM

Big Hugs to you! I'm still three months away and already feeling stressed

lemonlauren · 03-04-2009, 03:42 PM

WHEW the vet just called and said for sure that Nikko did just fine, and we'll be leaving in about twenty minutes to go pick him up. I knew I loved my pup, but I really never understood the extent until this first night he was away from us.

Thanks everybody for chiming in and making me feel better. It was exactly what I needed. Though the vet sure did take her sweet time waiting to call me - yeesh! Everything's cool. And we bought Nikko some super-cute baby onesies that I'm looking forward to seeing him in. :-)

Lauren & Nikko is Coming Home Soon

bcrass2 · 03-04-2009, 03:47 PM

Hang in there! Try keeping your mind off of it. I would take a benadryl to get a goods night sleep. Very mild but enough to make ya tired. Prayers for Nikko....It's amazing how we say we aren't gonna get attached. Yeah right!!!! From the first time you pick them up in your arms...you're hooked!

lil fu fu girl · 03-04-2009, 04:34 PM

You have got what we call the " mommy blues" ! You cannot wait to actually get a moment alone..... then when you do, all you can do is worry about the babies! Kind of ironic, huh?

You hit the nail right on the head. :-)

He's back home with us now, and seems perfectly happy. He might be a little bit space-y acting, but he definitely wants to play - and the vet told us to keep him as inactive as possible. This will be difficult.

I've gotta make a quick run back up to walmart... the onesies we bought are a bit too big. :-( And he's already trying to lick himself.

I'm glad everything is fine! I hope you get a good night sleep, but I'll bet you wake up to check on him several times!

Karrie · 03-04-2009, 06:11 PM

Yay! Nikko is okay!! Glad all went well!

Ivy Lucille · 03-04-2009, 06:21 PM

So happy to hear that everything went well!
