If I'm crazy then it's true that it's all because of you

He is coming round from the anaesthetic, and the vet says it went very well indeed. I should have him back on Monday.

I don't get to keep the teeth because the entire resected part has to go to the path lab and be treated with formalin which makes it toxic so they can't save any of it. This is so the path lab can confirm the diagnosis and double check that the margins are clear and Mouth Thing is dead for good and all. I did rather want to hang the teeth on my necklace, one each side of my tiger's eye circle, but hey, I get my dog back so I don't really care about that.

Cassie is going batshit bored without him and driving me crazy in turn, but we'll deal.

Thank you all for commenting and being all-round awesome. I've been a bit too frazzled to answer each one yet but I've read everything

I GET MY DOG BACK OMG YAY!

I KNOW RIGHT? But it was too close to being never, so I'll deal.

kiss yours for me <3

I'm doing it right now. Three days. Jesus god. Overnight nearly killed me once.

Still it's so much better than never.

Glad to hear it went well but omg Monday! Marlowe had to spend four days at the vet once and it sucked—though they were nice and I got to visit him lots.

Glad everything worked out. At least there is light at the end of the tunnel finally.

I'm so glad to hear he made it through okay. Daisy was in the hospital for a week over Christmas and it SUCKED! I hope Monday comes soon.

Poor Cassie, too...she must love him like a brother.

Get Well Soon, Spike! I'm pulling for you!

I've been following this even if I haven't been commenting. Spike is something special to all of us, and we're so glad to hear he pulled through his surgery and will soon be coming back home to you :)

SPIIIIKE. I shall brush up on my papier mache skills post haste. GO SPIKE GO. I bet he ends up driving the vets nuts.

Oh dear, I keep missing all this stuff (stupid No Internet), but I'm really glad Spike's come out the other side of this thing.

Hoorah! Way to go, Spike! :^)

All the best to Monday. I know that wait all too well. But ah, what a good day it will be.

What are they saying about recovery care? --Or have they talked about that, yet?

Good riddance to mouth thing and best wishes for Spike's future health.

I knew he was having his surgery. Gabriel for no reason let out a howl in his sleep that nearly killed me from surprise.

Be well Spike. Sorry about the teeth Liz.

Not much about recovery care yet; I think we all didn't want to tempt fate by discussing it before the surgery. I don't really know what it's going to be like; but I have watched Spike adapt very quickly to not using the front of his mouth to do anything and I'm confident he'll do well.

bloody hell it's quiet here today.

and thank you <3
