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!

Hi! My Name Is Jake and I'm an Epileptic...

Wednesday November 14, 2012 at approx 1:47 pm I was diagnosed with Adult onset Epilepsy.

I'm a 15 month old Lab mix.  I love going to the doggie park, hangin with my DAWGZ at Doggie Daycare a Doggie Mannerz, squeaky toys, chewing up lady Kay's slippers and laying in piles of cloths.  I steal yummy food off the counter when no one is looking, I like to chew and chew and CHEW! I'm a normal dog. And I have Epilepsy.  Lady Kay saw my first seizure on Halloween 2012.  I can't remember if that was my first one or not. But I had my 2nd and 3rd one 15 days later at 3:00 am and 3:53 am.  She called my vet the next morning. They reported the first one and my regular vet did blood work and an examination and everything was fine.  This time because I'm so young and the seizures are so violent and because I had 2 within an hour of each other my Vet felt I needed to go Advanced Veterinary Care.  It was there where I was diagnosed. They put me on medication: Potassium Bromide. I had to take 2 tablets every 6 hours for the first day and then just 2 a day from now on.  I go back to the vet to check my Potassium in 21 days.  Lady Kay has been reading up on epilepsy in doggies. I'm not the only one. That makes me feel good that I'm not alone. There are millions of doggies out there like me and they go on to live long happy lives. And there are millions of people out there like me too that have epilepsy.  I know for little kids it's scarey and sometimes it embarrasses them when it happens. I want them to know it's ok and to be strong and brave.Maybe one day when I get my own epilepsy under control I can go around to schools and talk to kids about it so they know they're not alone.
           Lady Kay says I'm an amazing doggie. And only a Dog like me would find out they have epilepsy during National Epilepsy Month. (November)

  Hi My name is Jake. And I'm an epileptic. And you can call me "Shake n Jake!!!"

So Much Going On With Me Lately....

 Monday I got my bandages off. I was so happy!  Tuesday I went to  doggie day care up at Doggie Mannerz and hung out with my DAWGZ after being bed ridden for a week! I've been feeling so much better.

 But something happened early Wednesday Morning. About 3:00 am I had another Seizure. Lady K was so scared. It was really bad I started shaking and went rigid. I lost bodily function and peed all over the place. I was even foaming at the mouth. I don't like these things called Seizures. I didn't eat anything bad so I dont know what's going on with me. Lady kay cleaned me and my bed all up and  helped me feel a little better.

And then at 3:54 I had ANOTHER seizure. Im really really scared now. This is the 3rd one in 15 days and  2 of them were less than 1 hour apart.  I don't like these things. I think I really really need help! :(

PETCO, Where Pets Go

  Me and my new toys while I'm convalescing. The General Manger Micki gave these to me when she heard how sick I've been.  I can't wait to get better so I can go see her and tell her thank you. I love PETCO where Pets go!

Best Bed EVER.

  So last summer  Lady K found this Love Sac at a garage sale for $15.  BEST PET BED EVER!  Ok so it's not really a pet bed but I sort of claimed it. I get to sleep all upside down on it and stuff.  No matter how I sleep in it, it's comfy.  The fact that it's only 15 bucks is BONUS!!!

I WANT OUT!

   This is me on my day bed looking out of the window dreaming of running through that white stuff they call snow. There's lots of it, about 2 feet. I've been whining to go out.  But i have to keep my bandages dry. For the last 4 days I only get to go out to use the bathroom then it's back in bed.The Dr made me a cool little plastic boot from an I.V bag for when I go outside.   I'll be glad when I can run and play again. But for now, I'll just sit out the window.... and WHINE...
