Lets try this..

Well, Im going to give this a try! Ty and I have a ton of family and friends all over the place so I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog so people can check in on us. I have really enjoyed reading blogs from other friends so I just thought it would be fun.
I can say that today has already been eventful! Parker went in for his surgery this morning and what a toll it has taken on me. He is in for his neutering and I really thought I would be more happy then sad. Boy was I wrong!! Ty and I have been talking about this day for a while now, knowing it was for the best and could potentially help him out a great deal. Well... the tears started as soon as we pulled out of the neighborhood! Parker was in my lap and I just couldn't stop thinking about him being in pain. I know that he is put to sleep for it and feels nothing, but I just kept thinking of him when he wakes up. I think I watch a little too much Animal Planet, where you see animals rescued and watch them go through surgeries. They always have that little tube in their mouth that causes their tongue to go to the side and it kills me to see it. I just kept seeing Parker in my head like that and couldn't hold back my emotions. Lil man had no idea what was going on but was quick to kiss my tears and lay on me as Ty drove.
When we got to the clinic I had to keep the tears in and collect myself. I think they have already seen me cry too much on previous occasions. We got him all signed in and ready and made sure they took the inventory of his belongings. He is going to be staying there until Friday morning for recovery and rest so we made sure he had all the comforts of home. Im sure he will spend most of his time sleeping, but it makes me feel better that he has a new "baby" to lay with, rope to chew, and a new "big boy" bed....( just a bigger one for him to stretch out on.) After saying good-bye and getting some more kisses, he was off. He went straight to the back and my tears just came flowing again. How did I get so sappy?? The AMAZING lady at the front told me he would be fine and I could call as many times as I wanted to. She has seen him since day 2 so we feel like the staff at Loving Hands is family. We are blessed with such great people to keep him healthy.
Until next time...
