Poppy has been spayed

We were wondering about having puppies with her one day, but it couldn't be practical until the house is done (several years) so in the end we decided to have her spayed. She seems to be on heat for quite a long time and it is hard work never letting her off the lead or going anywhere there might be male dogs for all that time. Then there was the phantom pregnancy...

She is in a sorry state now, she is eating but doesn't want to move around, I guess it hurts. It is quite worrying as it takes a lot to stop her bouncing around, hard to know whether it is normal or not. Not panicking for now as she is eating. She has a giant cone on that keeps smacking off things when she does anything - but that didn't stop her running around when she had one before. Hopefully she will perk up after a bit of a rest in front of the fire today. 

We have to take her back in 12 days to have the stitches out, the poor thing has to wear the cone until then.
