Poor little guy
This morning at 8 am, I had to drop Dexter off at the vet for a procedure. He's getting fixed. The ol' snip snip. I realise that this is the right thing to do as a responsible pet owner, but it breaks my heart to think of my poor little puppy being in any sort of pain. And he has no idea what's about to happen to him.
I know this morning his thought process probably went a little something like this:
Hey, Mike and Sarah are up at the same time! That must mean I get to play! They're so much fun! I love playing! Oh, hey, we're going in the car? Wow! A car ride! I love car rides. That must mean I'm in for a real treat! Woohoo! Hey, I've been here before. Wait a second...
I've left him at the vet's office with only his plastic nubby bone for company. We have to go and pick him up again by 6 pm. I hope he's okay, and doesn't hold it against us.

I know it's hard. But he'll be ok! And he definitely won't hold it against you. He'll just be happy to see you.
Hey, Mike and Sarah are here for me! That must mean I get to go home! They're so much fun. Oh, hey, we're going in the car. I love car rides...
Of course, he'll probably be a little woozy and dozey from the medication so there'll be less enthusiasm displayed on the outside, but he'll be pretty happy to see you on the inside :-)

We picked Dexter up at 5:45, and he is doing well. He was so excited to see us when we got there that he tried to jump over the little half-door barricade they have. We were expecting to have to carry a dozey puppy to the car, but he was pretty perky. We brought him home and took him for a little walk, and then after the requisite hour had passed, we were allowed to give him some dinner and some water. After which, he fell asleep on his bed in the living room. He was less energetic last night than usual, but he seems okay today. Right now he's in the living room chewing on a ham bone from the butcher shop.
