Hey folks its been a while...!

March 6 2013. 30 days w/o a Seizure!!!
Me & Lady Ali :)


It's been a while since I've updated everyone. I've got some great news! As of today, its been 30 days since I've had my last seizure!! This is the longest I've gone since mt first one Halloween 2012. Lady Kay and Lady Ali are so excited they're making me special celebration dinner with some of my favorites: boiled chicken and sticky rice!
My Vet worked really hard to make sure my medication is the right dosage. He didn't want to put me on the phenobarbital
right now because I'm still pretty young and eventually it will fail my liver. So I take 6 capsules of potassium bromide every day 3 with breakfast and 3 with dinner and its working! I'm happy because when I get the seizures they scare me. Sometime they happen when In sleeping. They should just let sleeping dogs lie (down that is...). I've started to go blind when I have them and last last about 10 minutes before I start to see again. I'm afraid one day it will happen when I'm all alone and I might hurt myself in my kennel. But I know no matter what the ladies do their best to take care. Of me. My family is cool!

Operation "Sieze The Day!"

operation  " sieze the day has begun. I'm going to be an awareness doggie for epilepsy in pets and kids.
Today Lady Kay was working on designing my vest, t-shirts and toys when I begun to have a seizure. It was the first time Ali-Lady saw me have one. Scary. I'm excited to be an awareness pet and will be working on being a therapy doggie too so I can visit kids at home and at school and help them know they are not alone and to be brave. I want to  help their schools be prepared by knowing what to do when one of my friends have the shakes. Operation "Sieze the Day" has begun!
