Today was the day we get to bring Shadow home. The vet said he could stay another night but wouldn’t eat for them which can be normal. We spent the day getting the house ready. Cleaning my brothers room up to be the recovery room, putting the bed on floor, having fresh blanket on the floor extra dog beds and pillows. The vet office where he had the surgery done is about 25 minutes from where we live. We went after dinner.My mom, my brother and me went to pick him up. Felt like the longest ride ever. Walking in to the vets office I felt sick, all these things running threw my head. Was shadow going to be mad at us? How is he going to look? How are we getting him to the car, how are we going to get him into the car? They called back and brought him out to us. He hopped his way out to us, those big brown eyes looking at us with this big cone around his head and I lost it. I cryed so much and he could tell we were all upset. He was just so happy to see us. He hopped out to the car and got right in. I sat in the backseat with him and layed beside me. I kissed,  hugged and talked to him all the way home trying to hold my tears back so he didn’t know I was upset. ( crying again as I am writing this) Than came the fear of how my 12 year old son Austin was going to handle this. We all got home and got him settled into his room, we feed him some food which he ate, gave him his pain medication. He seem so happy to be home with us. It was such a surprise to me on how fast he walked, we had to behind him to just keep up. My son did amazing, he didn’t cry he was just so happy to see his buddy Shadow home again. Austin was so helpful, he kept going in and checking on him. It was so sweet. Shadow is so loved by everyone!!!
