Any recommendations?

Hi everybody. We are doing well. Working hard and trying to play harder (with the dog ... :) ).
We're calling for any ideas or recommendations. Ginger is going to be having her first (and hopefully only) surgery next week (Tuesday 1/24) - spaying. This is the responsible thing for us to do. I am sorry for those of you that want her to have many many babies. The vet says that she'll be good to go in a few days after the procedure but the books and the paperwork the vet gave us says it takes about 8-11 days to recover. Ideas?
Thanks!!!
