Relief!

Raider's surgery went well. They called me at about 1pm and said they got the tooth and root all removed. It was worse than we thought when they got in there, but Dr. Cole packed it with antibiotics and stitched him up. He was very out of it last night. He wouldn't sleep when we got home, he just laid on the floor whining under his breath. I think he was woozy from the anasthesia. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I dont remember the entire evening, but my mom wouldn't let me go to bed until 9pm. So I can't imagine what a dog feels in that situation. He wouldn't even eat, which is miraculous for him. I had to employ mommy techniques to get him to swallow his pain pill. But this morning I woke up to the normal pounding of his tail on the wall, the second he saw me roll over. We really need a bigger bedroom. He is fine today. Still a little tender, I am not letting him play with his toys. But he wolfed down his dinner and I gave him some of my dinner (cheez-its). So he is down to only left side canines. The bottom one is actually broken a bit also, but nothing serious. I am not sure he will get back into my car anytime soon, or even go into the garage for that matter. He's no dummy!
