A Sad Day for Maddie

Today we took Maddie to the vet for spaying and de-clawing. It was like dropping your child off to kindergarten on the first day of school. If you think about it, how many times are you really away from your pet? And how many of those times is it crying in the back seat of your car, looking at you with the "puppy dog" face? Maybe I'm pathetic, but it was hard to leave her.
BUT...praise God she won't have any little, white, mutilating, blood-producing front claws when she returns! We pick her up tomorrow at 11:00, complete with recycled newspaper litter and incomplete without claws and, well...
These pics were taken a month ago. She actually slept on hte couch with Jamie like this, butt in the air, head on the couch. Owee!!!! She loves getting into our laundry baskets. We have tall ones and we throw her toys into them. She jumps in after them and tries to jump out. She can do it, but not without the basket falling down after her. This time she's trying to use those blood-producing things to get Josh.

Yeah, that does look really uncomfortable...especially when I finally realized which way the picture went :)

Good idea on the claws coming out...I think that is the worst part of cats!!!
