Jackie, when Sadie was spayed, I dropped her off at 8:00 a.m. and picked her up at 4:00 p.m.  From the very minute that she got home she never acted like she&#39;d had anything done to her.  If it weren&#39;t for the incision and stitches, I would have questioned if she&#39;d had the procedure at all.  The hardest part was keeping her quiet - she wanted to run and jump right off the bat.  We had to keep her in an X-pen for 10 days to keep her and Bucky from rough-housing and to protect her stitches, but she never seemed to be bothered at all by the surgery.  I will be thinking of you guys on Tuesday....
