Today Nande is 19 weeks old and to celebrate we're having her spayed, microchipped and she's also getting a rabies shot. I know this is a pretty standard procedure but I am still worried for her and just want the day to go by quickly so I can bring her home and let her rest and recuperate.
The thing that's been the hardest is that we haven't been allowed to feed her since 8 last night and then no water past midnight. Given that she usually gets a sip when she comes in from a potty break or will just slurp away in the morning, its hard to not give her what she wants even if it is for her own good.
Last night, when I got home and had Paul come over to help me load the tv so I could upgrade it before Circuit City's 30 day trade in/trade up deal ran out, Nande got so excited to see me that she headbutted me once and then accidentally bit my nose hard enough to make me bleed. I'm not worried about it but I thought it was kind of funny in a peculiar way, though I didn't, of course, let her know it was okay and she got reprimanded.
And the TV? Its better than the recently purchased one by a fair bit. Why? Two words, High Definition. The new box is HD capable and now all we have to do is wait until the cable company catches up. Though Playstation games and DVD's are supposed to be crystal clear on it but so far the quality has been restricted because of the cables connecting the two components to the box.
If you're out there and have some extra thoughts and good will to send along to my little Nande as she undergoes the most traumatic day of her young little life, send them on. What's that? You need some inspiration? Okay, try these on for size. Nande and the bone, Nande as Princess Leia and Nande the sleep beggar. Now send your positive thoughts her way!
