Everything is on and there a sticky tape on them and then, rap with vetrap, nothing is moving!

This morning, I brought Novak at work to do his pre op and shave the area for the fentanyl patch. Everything is good and we are a GO for tomorrow. This is really happening, OMG… I have butterflies in my stomach now… but im still doing ok. Its like a dream today, its like, wow, Im really doing this. I have the rest of the day off today…will try not to focus on will happen tomorrow, but enjoy my day off with my boy. Have to install the patch later today, I will wait till maybe 5pm.

This is him, with his new look… LOL

Wow Canada Post were fast on that one! It had to go from BC to Quebec! It does fit well, it took me several minutes to adjust it, I thought that the harness part were to be bigger, but it seem to do the job. Novak doesn’t care about anything, he’s such a good dog, he is use to wearing harness, boots, cooling coat, life jacket, etc… so no problem there. I lift him a bit to see his reaction and…doesnt care LOL I love my boy!

Yesterday I had the hard decision to let go Sniper, my 14 year old cat. It was truly the best cat ever. He will be miss a lot, he was my shadow, my glue, always on me, purring always. He was a dog/cat, not afraid of anything, or strangers, I could do anything with him, never said a word. He was my first cat, my parent were allergic, so I had to wait till I was living alone, and even then, I move with a boyfriend that was also allergic, so it took a long time to get MY cat, and 14 years ago, I found Sniper. He gave me so much and I love him so much. Its seem empty at the house now, we are missing one member.

So, difficult time these days with Novak’s amputation coming on thursday and now, Sniper leaving, ouf… we love so much our pets, but man its difficult to say good bye.

In 7 days, at this time, Novak will be a tripod. Daniel(my fiance) and I are really doing fantastic with that idea! For the last days, his leg is worse and he started to hop on 3, he never did that before. Its like, he knows the surgery is coming and he wants to practice LOL or maybe he can finally show me how much it hurt. Everything is coming along, harness is arriving soon, house is ready, except for the carpet that I will get this week-end. I will be assisting the surgery, so I will be the one holding him fort anesthesia induction, shaving, etc… will do a blood test on wednesday night and putting on his fentanyl patch. Then, by 8h30 am, I will be at work/clinic on thursday. I want to make videos and take picture of the surgery. If its too hard for me to watch, I will occupied myself elsewhere in the clinic, but Im so anxious to get that leg off, that my mind has switch, it doesnt feel sad, it feel relieve, happy.

I am now talking about that leg like, ohhh “that” extra leg. Im still watching a lot of videos, reading, etc… think it helps me relax a bit… and reasure me.
