Stella out of commission :(

Hey everyone, well we've been very busy here lately...lots of news for you all. First off, Spirou won the Supercup game against Oostende in Knokke 74-87, Oostende doesn't seem to have it this year like they did before...then they played an Amsterdam team in a friendly game which they also won 65-57...and just this past Tuesday they played Willebroek in a cup game and won 65-105!! So there have been a lot of games going on...Spirou has their first regular season game tomorrow at home against Liege, which will be a fun game to watch because his former Okapi teammate, Eric Poole now plays for Liege. 
Tuesday I was scheduled to leave for Dublin for 3 days with Tiffany, well at about 9pm on Monday night as Wes and I were sitting down for dinner, we heard Stella screaming in the other room, when we got in there we didn't know what happened, all we know is her and Bentley were in there together...she screamed in pain for a good 10 minutes before we could even begin to figure out what was hurting..turns out it was her leg, she couldn't walk, let alone move! :( We ended up taking her to an emergency vet here in Charleroi where he told us that her leg was broke! He gave her a shot for pain and we took her home..The next day we drove her to our normal vet outside of Brussels, he also said it was broke and needed surgery to put a pin in it right away. She had the surgery and now we're hoping she heals up fast..Bentley hopes so too, he misses his little partner in crime ;) I had to cancel my Dublin trip and reschedule it for November 25th, which seems like a long time away but I can wait till then if it means having plane tickets that only cost 2 cents! Haa! Can't believe how cheap you can fly if you pick the right day! So i'm glad I still get to see Ireland!!
Wes and I also took a trip to Paris last weekend, he didn't have a game on Saturday so we decided to take off for a little time to ourselves.. We stayed in a Hilton hotel where we could see the Eiffel tower out our window, or even just laying in bed!! We had an awesome dinner then went up into the Eiffel Tower, even though this was our 5th time seeing it, it still amazes me! It was definately one of the most fun and relaxing trips we've ever taken.. 
Well i think that's all the news i have for now...hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of fall and of course those HUSKER games!!! (except maybe not the last one) haha! I know i'm enjoying getting full use out of my Ugg boots, and breaking out the sweatshirts!! Gotta love fall! ;) Talk to you all soon!
