Spay and Neuter at home

As Mia approaches age of her first heat cycle, I knew I needed to get her fixed, I spoke with my friend Leo who also had a dog to fix. We made the appointment for Friday afternoon with a local vet from Charapoto who came to the house. He was going to charge $60 for Mia, but then brought the price down to $45 if we got 3 or more. Fingers crossed that #notmydog Toby would be around when it was time to go, and he was! 

Toby and Leo, waiting for the anesthesia to kick in. Bless his heart, no more fights for Toby (hopefully)

I borrowed a carrier from the chihuahuas and had that on the floor of my house for over a week. Mia was getting used to it, and really liked it, so getting her in it when it was time to go, was a breeze!

After Toby was done, I took him home in a truck, then came back to wait for Mia to be finished. Glad I was not there to watch, but two of Leo's family were very interested. 

She was not squeamish at all...maybe another nurse in the family. 

After surgery Leo and I celebrated with a glass of wine, while we waited for them to wake up. 

When I got home Toby was awake, but not phased. Yesterday everyone stayed close to Mom and rested. 

So glad that's taken care of! Not going to be a grandma! Whew... many thanks to Noah the vet, and Leo for arranging. And as always, Stay tuned, the adventure continues!
