Friday Frisky Fun






Well, this toy looks like it needs some TLC - that would be Terrific Lightning Care.



Nom, nom, nom.




Mmmmmmmm.



Uh, hello, Mom.  No I wasn't biting his leg, I was just giving him a bath like our kitty pals do.




Nom, nom, nom.




Sheesh - can't I at least be sure his ears are clean???




Who goes there - I spy a snooter out yonder window?





It's just me, Ciara - what are YOU doing to MY toy???




You aren't going to snitch on me, are you, Mom?


Now for a little update on Miss Ciara.


I just can't "bare" to look at my leg!!!




Do they think I am a poodle?

I woke the whole house up at 3:40 this morning - I had another of those evil events.  Now today I am very restless, pacing, panting, whining, AND I am STARVED.  Mom talked to the nice vet assistant - she has to report any abnormal activity.  It is too early for the new medicine to be doing this to me, probably just stress-related.  Mom thinks I will be bumped from the study because she learned today that I am only allowed to have two seizures once I start taking the pills. The one I had on the way back from my MRI doesn't count because I hadn't had any pills yet.  So I can have one more but a third will mean the end of my time in the study.  We aren't too optimistic at this point that I am going to make it until June.  So very soon I could be going on that phenobarbitol stuff or some other similar medication.  Yuck!




BUT despite all my weird behavior today, I am more than ready to accept a treat right now, Mom.

Woos - Ciara and Lightning

  1. We are gonna Cross our paws and HOPE REALLY hard that you don't have any more visits from the evil one. We didn't know that if you had more than 2 visits you would be BUMPED.. THAT seems kind of Strick.
    WE think that they need to give the medicine/placebo a CHANCE to get in there and do the work..
    Paws CROSSED and Pawsitive thoughts coming your way Ciara.

  8. Maybe the new drug just needs more time and then you won't have any more seizures! We're praying for you!
    Better to let Lightning play with your toy than a certain someone I could mention. ;) That looks VERY fun - and I hope you got that treat!!!

  9. This must be so stressful for all of you. Fortunately we've only had to deal with one seizure. I hope I never experience another.

    ReplyDelete
  10. hmmmm that doesn't seem right to get bumped after two seizures as it could be more a dosage adjustment issue rather then it not working - but I guess it is a catch 22 - if she on the placebo they can't leave to keep having seizures.

  11. What, do these study people stay up all night figuring out new rules? Maybe now that you have a diagnosis your own vet could tell you how it should be treated.

    Lets hope so, and hugs all around, especially Ciara and oh, Phantom and Lightning while we are at it.

  19. Ciara, I hope you can feel the White Dog Army walking beside you giving you strength and hope and the energy to fight this monster. Stress and metabolic changes sometimes give the monster an advantage but it can be controlled...you MUST believe it! Yesterday, we agreed to participate in our town's Epilepsy Walk in honor of you and Gibson and our Quinn and all the epi-dog Warriors. This will be the first time dogs will be allowed to participate...the human group was amazed to learn dogs get epilepsy and we can all work together sharing our knowledge to beat this. So on March 29th, we Walk for you.

  29. I totally agree with Frankie Furter.It would be nice to give the medicine time to work but they know what they are doing more than us.Anyway, Ciara, we are all crossing our paws and the donkeys are crossing their hooves so you will get better. Have a good week end.

  30. Whatever medicine works, she will get used to and live a happy life because you are her mom!
    By the way, I love the way you've done their pictures in that "frame" effect. Does that program cost $$?

    ReplyDelete
  31. We are purring and woofing and crossing all our paws the evil event doesn't happen again.

    Hey Lightning, that toy looks like lots of fun. Maybe you could play with it together with Ciara? Then you could all have some treats! With Phantom as well, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I totally feel for you--seeing your dog having seizures is terrible. Chloe only had a few, but it tore me up inside to watch. We have paws crossed that Ciara will do well on this medicine and that she won't have more seizures and she'll be able to stay in the study!

    Lightning, that looks like a good, sturdy toy for you! Riley has some similar toys that have lasted a pretty good amount of time (although, I bought her a knock-off brand one once and it didn't last as long as the "Tuffy" and Kong toys like that). Anyway, hopefully that toy will survive Lightning's jaws! :)

  33. We are pretty sure Ciara's toy enjoyed his bath Lightening.
    We are crossing all our paws you are over the worst Ciara, that is a rad new bracelet :)
