This shit was harder than I thought it would be.
Mooch has had several trips to the vet since September. But I’ve taken her to them all. She’s always come home with me before. Until today.
You don’t realize how used to your routine that you are until it’s broken. Mooch went out the door at 6:45 AM this morning with my Bride. I barely had time to give her the pre-surgery pill the vet gave us last week before they had to book it to the early morning appointment.
I didn’t even get to kiss her tiny little head before they left. I was half asleep getting her ready. Once they were gone, I was so sad.
I talk about this and how much she means to me in today’s podcast. Mooch is our dog of a lifetime. I know that many of you can relate to such a thing. She just has to be ok. Going under anesthesia is a scary thought. But she’ll be home before we know it.
I’m telling myself this as I’m going through the motions of the day before we can finally pick her up.
