Babie Post...again

So I finally decided to stop putting off Babie's oral surgery. I'd been putting it off for two years. I'd say, ok with my tax money, or with my bonus I'll do the surgery, and two years later, I still hadn't done it. This year, I was consumed with guilt when the doctor brought it up during Babie's rabies vaccine visit, so much so that I finally agreed to get it done. The estimate was now up to a whopping $625-700. That was in addition to the $209 I paid for the examination, rabies shot, 6-months of heart worm meds, and blood work. Babie's surgery was yesterday and luckily it went really well. And, to my wallet's relief it was only $450. I guess her teeth were in better shape then they had expected. I did get a little added bonus too. She came home last night with a bandaged right paw (where the IV had been). I was told not to remove the bandage until I got home. To my surprise, when I did remove the bandage, they had completely shaved the entire paw, all around, front to back. Was that really necessary? And, why didn't they tell me? I know! Probably because they suspected I was vain, which they are completely right, I am vain. I like my puppy looking gorgeous with a beautiful shiny black and brown coat (and anyone who has seen Babie will agree she has one heck of a coat). But anyway, the important thing is the procedure is done, her teeth are pearly white (really white - I was able to peek in there just a bit - though she's reluctant to have anything near her mouth so the weekly cleanings should be a joy) and she is back to acting like her bubbly little self (minus fur on one paw).
