Miss Betty the night before she had to go to the hospital....

Today we woke up at Bryan's house and Betty (Bryan's dog) was really sick.  Poor thing looked so sad and just quiet...last night she was acting funny, just not her usual social self.  Cheryl said the night before she had gotten up and kind of fell against the bedroom door.  She played yesterday with Cheryl's grandkids who were there visiting, but we all noticed something off.  Then she went to bed and threw up.  This morning Bryan said he'd been up most of the night with her.  She drank alot of water this am and then went up to the canal and got wet.  We knew something was up when she came down and didn't shake off like dogs do. 

Bryan took her to the vet, they kept her and  did surgery, her stomach had flipped over and then back to front, her spleen tore her lining...poor little thing was so miserable.  The Dr had told Bryan there was no guarantee, but they decided to try.  That little girl is just such a part of their (and our) family.  

This afternoon got a call from Cheryl, saying she had made it through the surgery and that she is "tough" according to the vet..I think she really has the will to live!! So we'll see come morning how she is.  Prayers, prayers, prayers!!! 

We really enjoyed having the boys the past week..they'll be back later in the summer and soon Seth and Mason will come to stay.  We had a great time at Paul and Gurmeena's for their baby shower for their new little boy they are expecting in September.  We stayed the night and got up Sunday am for Father's Day.  Headed to the cemetary to see mom and dad. June 13th was my mom's birthday so we decided to go for that and Father's Day.  We met Russell and family there and then after we went to Chevy's in Vacaville for lunch.  Then we headed for Eric's house and visited with them for a few hours.  Headed for Bryan's and spent the night and then the above post happened. 

We are now in Yerington and tomorrow we go pick up the 73 Dodge!  Wed we will head for Winnemucca for our Dr appts on Thursday.  We'll get lunch and head back here for the rest  of the week.  Adam left for basketball camp today...so excited.
