An eventful day today for Booty. When we took her to the vet last week for her annual booster, we discussed a small cyst that had appeared on her right eyelid. So far, it has not been bothering her, but the vet felt it would be better to remove it via a minor operation. So, no food for her last night, which led to her belly rumbling very loudly while she was on the bed with us last night. I didn't sleep very well thinking about her, and then this morning Andrew took both woofs out for a quick constitutional before we took her into the vet at 8.30. Leaving her there was awful - she really doesn't like it there - her tail goes between her legs and she shakes - I felt utterly miserable. Andy was incredibly subdued without her - spent most of the morning glued to me, sat on top of me on the sofa when I watched some QVC Craft Day and was not his normal self at all. We eventually picked her up around 3.30 - she was delighted to leave the vets. The nurse said that she had been sweet but stubborn - yes, that's our Booty. She has a small shaved area on the front of one of her legs, and hardly any visible evidence on her eye - the vet had done a very neat job. We've given her a tiny amount of food this evening, which she's enjoyed and she's mainly been asleep. Tomorrow, we'll see how she's recuperating. I think she deserves a couple of days of taking it easy.
