It's been quite a crazy week here in Oz. Last week we had a major scare with Stella. It began Sunday night.. she was vomiting throughout the night. Then she was extremely lethargic and sick looking all day Monday. We tried to holdout until Tuesday to take her to the vet but she just seemed to be deteriorating Monday night so we took her into the emergency vet. By the morning they still weren't sure what was wrong with her, but they did see something wrong with her large intestine. When they opened her up they found the area that had been repaired in January had built up too much scar tissue so that it no longer functioned properly. In the end they removed 12 inches of her large intestine. Needless to say it's been a stressful few days, but hopefully she'll be a happy and healthy dog from now on!
A couple days after Stella's surgery Charlie left for Darwin. He is up there for three weeks participating in an exercise with the US carrier, the George Bush. So we spent our first 4th of July in Oz apart. Oh well! I had brunch with a bunch of girls to celebrate the holiday and then had a few people over for S'mores. None of the Aussie girls had ever had one so it was fun! Although it was a bit chilly : )
Here are a few pics from the past week...
