I took Sally in to be spayed today. They do this at the Animal Control Shelter the first Thursday of every month for a reasonable fee. However, while we are there, this dog is carrying on like there is no tomorrow (big dog from the sounds of him) and Sally was shaking so bad that I could feel her thru the carrier. I get to pick her up at 6pm, but have to run my oldest son to a cub scout meeting at 6:30 so I wont be there for her at all when she first comes home. I know she will be pretty sedated (Sam was when he came back) but I already feel horrible about leaving her there all alone and I know every bit of trust we have established is going to be gone when she gets back. Would she be okay if I just left her in her box until I got home? I know Sam kept falling and walking drunk like when he got home and with her leg as it is Im afraid she will really hurt herself. I will be soooo happy when she is back home. All I have done today is worry and cry.
