1 Thursday 4/8/10, Bella isn't feeling good. We don't really know why at this point.
2 Hope you feel better girl!
3 Bella at the Vet hospital on Sunday morning, 4/11/10. It turns out Bella had chewed up and swallowed part of a tennis ball, which blocked her intenstine. She was near death's door on Saturday night when they did emergency surgery to remove the obstruction. After a night's rest, she looks pretty darn good.
4 I'm not sure Bella recognized us as she was pretty doped up on pain medicine. She mostly had a blank stare.
5 We took her outside for some fresh air and to go to the bathroom.

8 Back inside for more rest and recuperation.
9 The nurse is explaining Bella's condition. Notice the catheter in her paw - she needs more IV for dehydration and pain medicine.
10 See you at home soon, Bella. We're glad you are feeling better. No more chewable toys for you!
