<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>HI all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am just getting in from the ER where we ended up
last night around 10pm when Mona bloated. We got her in right away, and
they were able to "decompress" her, but her stomach started turning again
around 1230 and we decided to do the surgery. She is up and moving, not
well, but through the surgery. I came back to the house to shower
and get dressed for work and go back to get her to take her to our vet for the
day. I imagine I will bring her home tonight, or back to the ER for them
to watch her, not sure which way it will go. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Darn good thing we did good at the yard
sale.....this was around 3000 for her tonight. As Bill, our treasurer
would say, that is why we fundraise.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If there is any spare drool out there, please
send some to Mona.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was so scared to even put her through the surgery
at her age....around 13, but she has a lot of spirit and we felt she
would get through and have more quality time, so we did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>More later.</FONT></DIV>
