Summer vacation (1) surgery
In Japan, we had a long rainy season this year.
So during our trip, unfortunately we sometimes had lots of rain.
When Satolela papa came back home from abroad, his body condition was not perfect.
We were supposed to set off for our holiday three days later after he came back, though.
We were not sure whether we could go or not.
So I couldn't finish packing until the last moment, which I don't like. Because I always pack ahead. So I had almost given up going on camping.
But luckily he recovered, and we could set off to visit my uncle and aunt, and our friend at the campsite in Takayama-city after leaving one day late.
My uncle and aunt were glad that Richard became well, and we visited them with Satori and Leila.
Leila who was on the alert for them before became relax with each visit.
My uncle is nearly blind and is unable to walk from diabetes. But when he started talking about a famous Sumo wrestler, 'Futaba-yama' who was active around 1920-1930, he stood up and explained how the wrestler was great with many gestures.
Satolela papa was lying down in the Tatami-mats room next to the living room where we were chatting, but he woke up because my uncle suddenly started talking in high spirits.
We had a nice time together, time passed quick. They were sorry we had to leave.
It seemed likely to rain when we arrived at the campground of our friend, Okuhara-san or Mr.Okuhara who was waiting for us. So we quickly put up our tent and just as we finished, it rained cats and dogs.
As usual, around the period we visit, almost nobody was there.
That night, we gathered for dinner and drinks at Okuhara-san's office. Okuhara-san also invited a young couple who were staying at the campground.
They came from Osaka-city. They have known each other since they were university students. They haven't married yet. So Okuhara-san tried to remind them to marry as if he were their father. ;-)
In Japan, we call people who always bring rain, 'rain woman' or 'rain man'.
They said that they were both rain people.
Remarkably the rain finally stopped when they left the campground the next day.
After we left my uncle's house, Satori really acted so weird. She didn't want to stay in her crate.
She didn't listen to us. She often licked her bottom. When I checked her body, it didn't look unusual. But somehow we were worried about her, we took Satori to the vet which Okuhara-san usually took his dog, Jiji.
The veterinarian had a painful expression on his face as soon as he saw her bottom, and said,
"Ahaaaaaaaaa!! It's her anal sac eruption"
Yes...... I could see a big hole.
The day before when I checked her ass, I thought I saw the spot, but I thought it was just a spot of mud from sleeping out in the rain. It must have been blood and I just didn't recognize it.
Oh, my God!! My poor Satori.
According to the vet, it was caused by infection because the high humidity had stressed her immune system. And it became pus-filled and eventually ruptured.
The hole was rather big and infected, and it needed immediate cleansing. So he recommended surgery.
He said that Satori didn't need to stay over at the clinic.
So we promised to pick poor Satori up five hours later and left there.
Then we decided to spend our time at Shirakawa village which is the one of the World Heritage
Of Japan.
Satolela papa seemed to be really satisfied with the old Japanese atmosphere.
We picked Satori up at five o'clock in the evening. She was so happy when she saw us.
We somehow enjoyed the rest of our stay at the campsite.
We invited Okuhara-san for dinner at our site.
Satolela papa was preparing fire.
Leila was relaxing.
After surgery, she was wearing 'Elisabeth collar'. (I don't know what you call in English.)
This year, our trip ended with Satori's surgery.
Now Satori is doing well after the operation.

He showed me by pulling up Satori's tale.Yes...... I could see a big hole.
