Mommy and Daddy's little trooper

I had surgery today to remove my ear tags on my left ear. This meant that I could have nothing to eat after 3 this morning and nothing to drink after 7am. Mommy and Daddy were nervous wondering if I would wake up hungry this morning and they wouldn't be able to give me anything. Well, so far I have proven that I am a champ! Mommy and Daddy woke me up at 2:30 this morning to feed me so that I would hopefully not wake up hungry. I ate and went right back to sleep until about 6:45. Mommy and Daddy did all they could to distract me from wanting to eat. Luckily, I was very playful and didn't show any hunger signs. On the way to the hospital, Mommy thought I would get hungry, but I again proved her wrong. I had to wait with Mommy and Daddy for a little over an hour in the little patient room, but I was perfect! I smiled with all the nurses, played with a TMC turtle that the nurses gave me, read a book, and even took a little nap. I never once cried. When it was time for the nurses to take me, Mommy and Daddy gave me a big kiss and I went right along with the nurses. Mommy cried a little, but smiled when she saw that I was laughing with the nurses as they walked away with me. Approximately 45 minutes later, the doctor came out to tell Mommy and Daddy how well the surgery went. I don't even have stitches. I have a little butterfly bandage where they cut off the ear tags. The doctor said that I would probably be a little fussy while in recovery and it could last for 15-20 minutes, but I again proved them wrong. When Mommy and Daddy were able to see me I was smiling and quite alert. I cried very little, drank some water, and was ready to be on my way home. Mommy dressed me in a cute pink outfit with a matching bow and I went out into the lobby smiling! On the way home I didn't fuss at all. I have been playful since I have been home. Mommy and Daddy know that the numbness might wear off, but they have some medicine if that happens! Today was a big day for me, but Mommy and Daddy are proud of their little trooper!

This hat is funny!
