Riley’s surgery was today. This afternoon. I’ve since heard from the vet, the surgeon, and a vet tech, and they all say he’s doing fine. He just can’t come home yet. When he does come home, he’ll be a tripod. (One of the vet people said that to me the other day. “One of my dogs is a tripod.” Caught me off guard. It’s obvious, but it never occurred to me to call a three-legged dog a tripod.) I feel a ton better now that the surgery is over, but now I’m going to worry about how he does overnight. What if he manages to pull out the IV and doesn’t get his fluids or his medicine? He’ll be fine, I know, but what if he isn’t?

He will be fine. Not only is he a good dog, but the vets know what they’re doing. I’m sure they’ve dealt with goggies a lot more rambunctious than Riley.
