Good Morning All...

It was a great night last night. Mike slept like a lump. :-D It seems the Rescue Remedy really works. I put a couple drops on a cookie before bed, and in no time, he was able to make himself comfortable.. and... the best part... no panting at all!!! I've been giving him 1/2 of a Rimydal about an hour before bedtime, but tonight I'm going to try going without it. If he doesn't need all that crap in his body, I certainly don't want to put it in there.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. I think the highest the temperature got was 82, but the humidity was low. I was able to put both dogs in the car and go for a ride. Mike was so happy to be in his car... and... surprisingly enough, Gidget is getting use to it too. I think I'd hesitate to take her on a long ride yet, but she seemed pretty happy with about a 20 minute ride (which is much longer than the last couple of times we've gone). I even took her through the drive through at the beverage store and KFC... of course she started barking at the guy at the beverage store and the girl in the window at KFC, but she only yipped a couple times and then settled down. Both people commented on what beautiful dogs I have... I know it!! :-D

I still had to pick her up to put her in the car. She (again) put her feet on the bottom of the door and acted like she wanted to get in but was afraid to. Even with a treat in my hand, she wouldn't jump in. Mike stood on the seat looking at her like she was nuts.... "Come On.. We're Going For A Ride.. Are You Nuts?" LOL

It was so beautiful outside that around 5:00 we all sat out by the table and ate dinner together. Of course, I had to feed the pups theirs before I brought out my chicken or they wouldn't have eaten any of it. Mike didn't have much of an appetite at all yesterday ... until I brought out the chicken. I'm hoping he eats better today.

I am so grateful that he hasn't had anymore seizures (or even the staring and quivering). I'm sure now that it was caused by the Tramadol. Never again will it pass through his lips.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and have a blessed week. We love you all.

Love & Blessings
