Mike was off sorts all day yesterday, but at least there were no more seizures. He just slept and didn't want to be bothered all day. So, I made sure that Gidget stayed as far away as possible.

Dr. Blaha told me about Rescue Remedy. She thought it might help Mike to relax at bedtime or when he gets his panting spells. I gave him the Rimydal around 9 last night and a couple drops of Rescue Remedy before we went to bed. He still had a bit of panting at bedtime, but I'm glad to say it didn't last long, and he was able to sleep through the night. I'm trying it again tonight and praying this works for him. He needs a good night's sleep without waking up panting. Fingers crossed that it works again tonight.

He was finally feeling good enough today that I felt safe in giving him a much needed bath. He's so good for me when I groom him or bath him. Wish Gidget would cooperate like he does.... hummm... dreaming again. LOL

Dr. Blaha was really busy yesterday... so busy that she didn't have time for me to go there until 5:30, and we worked until 8. That poor lady has so much to do... it's no wonder she was frustrated when it came time to try to keep up with all the paperwork.

There's not a lot to report today. So I guess that's a good thing.

Oh... two things I'd like to mention. Today is three months that our good friend Manuel lost his best friend Winster. He wrote a beautiful letter to Winster on Winster's thread. If you get a chance, stop by there and read it. I know he would appreciate any comments you would leave for him. Also... Manuel and his new friend Zorro have made it to being celebrities. Florida Basset Rescue has started a new program called "Seniors for Seniors"... Manuel and Zorro are the first match in this program. The rescue has created a brochure with the new duo's story on it and a picture of the two of them. Again, if you get a chance, check out Zorro's thread too and leave a comment.. I know he'd be really excited to see comments from all his friends.

Ok.. gonna get going. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Love & Blessings
