Tink was also home the same day. I left her in at 9am, they told me to ring at about 3.30 to see if she could come home that evening, which she could.
My experience was the exact same as G1028's - she walked out to the car under her own steam, was a little bit groggy the rest of the evening and then the next way, was back to her normal (read: crazy) self. I had foolishly thought I'd have at least a week of a nice, lazy dog, but no such luck. I had an absolute nightmare trying to keep her quiet enough so she wouldn't damage her stitches. I couldn't walk her until the stitches came out (a week and a half) and by the end of it she was totally stir crazy.
