Bentley and Me


So this week is my family's annual end-of-the-summer camping trip and I think this is the most interesting one we have ever taken. Yesterday started out normal enough with a bunch of running around trying to get everything ready-nobody really noticed that Bentley was showing signs that he wasn't feeling to well. So an hour and a half later than we wanted to leave we left and not 15 minutes later we were back at home cleaning the dog and his kennel because the curves were to much for him. After a good hour of cleaning we hit the road again-and everyone was fine- right up till Bentley threw up again in Woodburn. So after some more cleaning we got back on the road only this time it was back home- to Lebanon Animal Hospital. Once there, we waited an hour for the vet to arrive and then another 45 minutes for the vet to figure out what to do-they decided to keep him overnight. So finally we left for Astoria and 3 and a half hours later we made it- 6 hours late! I had a great time sitting in front of the camp fire and goofing off with Andrew. Then we went in to play a game of Rook- that is when I started to get really hot and my stomach started to hurt and we didn't play two hands before I ran out and let it all loose in the bushes. It was miserable! I have decided that throwing up is the second worst thing in the world, the first being torture(of any kind)! That was my interesting day yesterday, today Bentley is not doing any better and will most likely have to go into surgery because something is stuck inside him. Oh and thats not all today we came back home to go to a memorial service and tomorrow we go back to Astoria to finish our camping experience-what a vacation!
