Katie seems to be doing better. She isn't quite as clumsy, she is no longer groggy, and lethargic, and was reported to RUN up and down the back yard steps. She isn't thrilled at the whole idea of being on a diet however. She has lost 4 pounds. Yay for the Goose! I took her for a walk yesterday, just a short one, to see how it goes. She wasn't real excited at first, but as we got going she seemed okay. I took Ozzy on a walk too - total different experience. He wanted to GO GO GO GO GO 100 miles per hour. Both are doing the go for a walk thing tonight after work again. thanks for the positive thoughts, prayers and love. April

2 years ago today, this morning, my Rommy Bear crossed the rainbow bridge. Last week, my sweet Katie Goose began to have seizures in her sleep. John and I took her to the vet, they have her on phenabarbital. Since being put on this she has not had any other seizures. They did a complete blood work up, and her liver, kidneys and everything else are normal. Good news for a 12 year old sweetheart. She HAS however gained 6 pounds in 2 months - which is a LOT for a little dog like her. She is up to 25 pounds, and should be 16-19. On a diet now. The drug that Katie is on makes her very sleepy, groggy, and clumsy. The vet assured us that those symptoms should fade in 2 weeks. I have to carry her when she is really bad outside to potty. I am struggling with this. Am I being selfish? I don't want to keep Katie alive if her quality of life is going to be like this, but how long do I wait until facing that decision? More importantly, will my sanity make it that long? I can't s...

Here is a lesson that Sharon Gammell taught me not long ago. Wise words Sharon. You can do anything that you set your mind to. You are the author of your own life . You have the ability to change your life. You have unlimited potential ! You are a living magnet. You literally attract the things , people , ideas , and circumstances to you that vibrate and resonate at the same energy frequency as yours.Your energy field changes constantly , based on your thoughts and feelings , and the universe acts like a mirror , sending back a reflection of the energy that you are projecting.The stronger and more intense your thoughts and emotions are , the greater the magnetic pull becomes.Now , this is not a process that requires any real effort ; a magnet doesn't ''try'' to attract anything-it simple does , and so do you !You are always in the process of attracting something into your life. Do you realize that your life at this very moment is the result  of ever...

This morning at 3am Katie was laying next to me, and woke me when she had a seizure.   It lasted a few minutes, her little tongue was sticking out a little, and she was drooling.  She was a little tired for a bit after, then she got up, got a drink of water, wanted to go potty outside, wanted a cookie, then hopped back up on the bed to lick. (she licks everything).  I called the Vet, they said that sometimes in older dogs, they can develop epilepsy.  Its nothing I did wrong, and it doesn't mean she is going to die tomorrow.   If she has another one this week, I should bring her in for blood work, but she probably (hopefully), won't have one for a few months, but to just watch her.  I've been crying all morning.
