Today’s the Day

I’m a tender hearted wimp . . let’s just get that out of the way.

Today is the day Oscar gets neutered. I’m going to be on pins and needles til I get him back home and he’s all healed and back to his little spunky self.

He also gets his nails trimmed and he gets his microchip. I never worried much about Speck getting lost but Oscar .. that dog has way too much energy and he’s fast. Speck had some joint issues in his front legs and maybe that kept him from being so fast. We’re so careful with Oscar and he stays downstairs which hopefully helps him not escape when someone comes in the doors upstairs. We have a gate that goes from the downstairs family room to the little foyer downstairs. Then there’s a door that goes into the garage. Then there’s the garage door so hopefully, we have some backup systems to keep him from escaping.

Monday we have an electrician here working. I’m sure the garage door will be open in the garage downstairs because that’s where the electric lines for the back lights will be run. He has to add some new lights inside. Oscar will be wearing his cone of shame so I doubt we can put him in the crate. I’ll be nervous. I wish the electrician had come today while Oscar is at the vet but . . that’s not how it happened.

I’ll report back as soon as I hear from the vet.
