penny's surgery

This morning I took Penny in to have a cyst removed.  Even though it was a simple surgery, I was a little worried for her.  Here is a picture of her before the sun came up on our way to the vet's:

You can see the cyst on her side just to the right of her brown spot. I dropped her off, and at 11:30 the vet tech called to say that she did real well and that I could pick her up after 2pm.  I kept her there until 6pm knowing that she would be better off there than at home with Miles and Tobey to deal with.  And it was so sad when I picked her up because her incision was so much bigger than I anticipated!  Plus she was shaved (which makes sense), but I guess I was just caught off guard.  The poor girl cried the entire ride home and then for an hour once we got home.  I fed her some rice and dog treats and gave her some pain meds, and she feel asleep soon after that.

The real challenge now is that she needs to stay isolated from Miles.  If her and Miles get together, they'll want to play, she'll injur herself.  She also needs to stay inside and stay inactive.  I have a feeling she'll be crated for about 10 days.  That'll be rough on everyone.  Here is a picture of Miles sitting outside the door where Penny is sleeping.  He wants to play with her so bad!
