Nala...
We found out last week (after an ultrasound) that our little dog Nala has 3 big bladder stones! Poor little dog. She went in for surgery this morning and we are hoping everything goes well. She has had a couple of infections this month and that's why we decided to do an ultrasound. We're glad we did so she can start feeling better. She was our first baby and it was sad to see her in pain, but we are hoping everything will go well in the operation. She's going to have a rough week because she'll be recovering...but hopefully a week from today she'll finally be back to her old, happy self!
I never had a dog growing up so I didn't understand why people 'loved' dogs, or why they let them sleep with them, I thought there was something so dirty about that. But now that we have had Nala for over 4 years...I can honestly say I love her like my own child! She's so innocent, and she has brought us such comfort and happiness. I was in tears last night because first of all, I had been all emotional all day, but also, I was scared that something may go wrong during the surgery and we may not see her again... :( But the lady at the vet was very comforting and she said dogs usually do well after that surgery. We'll find out later today how she did, and she should be back home this afternoon.
****Update*****
We went to pick up Nala and she did really well in the operation! We're going to have to keep an eye on her for the next 7-10 days so she can heal properly, but she should be feeling better pretty soon. She's sleeping right now because she's on pain meds, and the challenge tomorrow is to try to keep her from running around or playing with the ball.
I'm so grateful everything turned out alright. :) I love our little Nala.

How well would you do?
Good news! I will no longer be just a 'Legal Resident' of the United States! I go in for my citizenship interview next month (feb 10th)! During the interview I will be asked questions about US history and government structure, I will also be evaluated on my ability to speak, read, write and understand English. Simple enough right? I'll have to blog about how I do... In the mean time, I have been given a book so I can study and be prepared for the test. So I thought it would be fun if the people who read this blog took a 'practice' self test on line and then left a comment to see how you did. I haven't taken one yet, I really do need to study...so wish me luck, and if you have any tips for me, I'll take them! And good luck with your practice test!
