alex had 1 more episode of spinning. in consulation w/ the vet, i'm splitting his evening phenobarb dose 2/3 at regular pill time(6:30), last 1/3 at 3 1/2 to 4 hours after that. the idea is to keep his blood levels at a theraputic level, all night. he and princess peanut are thrilled with the extra food at bedtime. thanks so much for the concern and the assertion of competence. i need that

so far, so good. i have to set the stove timer alarm to remind us that it's time for more pills, but both dogs think the extra food is good. thanks for the support, it really helps

alex has had a series of seizures this weekend, some grand mal and some petite mal, in the PMs- he's "gone" for a few seconds, then he's back. he was on my lap a few minutes ago, we were napping and i felt the seizure start in his body, then i could see his eyes change, it's as though he left for 90 seconds, then he comes back from seizure land. he's pacing in the kitchen right now,recovering. i reread the poem autumn a few days ago, it speaks about our human awareness of our beloved dogs too brief days with us, and i wept. it won't be today that he goes. it's autumn and i'm sad
