No Puppies for the Pooch

I finally did it... brought my dog in for the big operation. Asked if I come in and be in the OR with her...
My awesome vet replied, "We don't do that." There was silence. "Right, I figured that.. and..." I replied. Silence again... "OK" he offered... "Great!" I accepted...
Today he said, "I just knew you would not accept NO. Just please do not faint."
All was educational and successful!
