Lisa, would it upset you if I asked what Tango's seizure was like? I think Cheeky has had a few mild ones. She kind of tumbles/rolls out of her dog bed on my bed and then seems quite stiff for a few seconds. Sometimes I roll her over or move her a little where she might be more comfortable. Never lasts long - a few seconds. Then she seems disoriented for a few seconds. Then back to normal, although perhaps seems more tired. There is no jerking movement or anything like that. Just stiff and not moving. Thankfully these have all been short and few and far between. The first time it happened I was afraid it was a stroke knowing she has the tumor on her heart and it can affect blood flow.

Lisa I wish I had a forest to help the planet survive. It still pains me to see them getting rid of 300+ acres of woods so we can have more shopping centers (when half the ones we have now we can't keep filled and in business), hotels and more. But I'd better stop before everyone has 10 pages of gripes to ignore. hehe.

I hope today's schedule is better than yesterday's. Have you seen many patrons wearing masks when they come in?

Dee, good news. Looks like Patrick did change the background colors here. Yay. 

Sorry the eye doctor didn't say anything when you mentioned the sensitivity to light. I sure hope it has improved on it's own before the 24th, and if not, hope the doctor has some good advice or something that can help. Has it improved any? I hope so. Sorry, too, about the shaking hands and the eye drops. Do you think when you are at Rosemarie's to play games that Di might help you put some drops in your eyes? That wouldn't be every time you need them throughout the day, but might help for at least one dose.

Anick, I realized I do have one in my yard that may be a succulent. Off hand I don't know what it is. My neighbor's mother gave me a little bit to . I am hoping it will spread out.

I know bees are important and I do like honey, but have to admit I don't want them that close to me. I am allergic to yellow jackets and my grandmother was allergic to bees. I've had a mild reaction to sweat bees. I'd just as soon keep them all a little further away.

Carol, does Pooks like the nap in the sunshine outside when it's warmer weather? I had Pippi and Cheeky outside with me for a while yesterday while I was battling more ivy, honeysuckle and dead branches and such. They nap every time I turn around in the house, but outside they don't tend to lay down and rest. Boy I could have sat down and rested. hehe. I'm feeling it today in many ways. Sore from all the bending over, sore from pulling things out of trees or working overhead, and allergies stirred up like crazy. I'm allergic to honeysuckle and it just seems to have exploded all over the yard in the last few weeks. This is a yearly battle. I leave some for the privacy it provides and for the bees, but I don't want it taking over everything. It's as bad as the ivy. Wish the ivy would confine itself to the fence.

Good morning everyone Happy Monday raining here in Walton Ky
Lisa it is to go through all that but as you said expensive but worth it to you
Laura I guess if you are allergic to bees you would want this as far from you as possible. I see this box I am posting on has a grey background but reading you post all seem to still be white backgrounds.
Carol sorry will avoid all subjects and just enjoy the fun loving Pooks
Anick that is good you love bees unfortunately for people that treat their yards they kill dandelions which bees like I used to in Florida get my yard treated then quit didn't seem like any difference in the price I was paying. This yard has plenty of dandelions for bees to enjoy. Have you ever been stung by a bee. When I was 7 I got stung by a bee when picking a flower right on my thumb. Then in my 30's married to the ex took him some lemonade out while he was cutting grass and then I got stung by a yellow jacket when I knocked him off he hit me in another spot so that one yellow jacket stung me 3 times and no fun.
Marty how are things going with Toffee.
Ginger how are you doing
Annette how are you
Kathy how are you and Stephen doing
The kids picked up Chloe at 5 pm yesterday said they would come in a couple days after the two days of rain we are going to get
Hugs Dee, Tori & Dallas

Laura yes Pooks loves to nap in the sunshine outside. Sometimes on the small ramp at the shed, sometimes on the cement patio blocks and sometimes close to the swing seat.
Lisa I had a little Terrier/Cocker girl named Precious (1990 - 2005) and she starting having seizures . We had her tested for all kinds of things. The vet said there were idiopathic. He couldn't find any reason only thing he did find out was Precious had an enlarged heart. When she had one she would sway side to side. I would sit by her and hold on to her till it passed. It happened about 3 times then never again.
Dee thank you! We can talk about all kinds of things here but please just a short mention is enough. Pooks is Super Dude , thats what my hubby calls him. The girls at the vets like his Superman t shirt and thats why hubby calls him Super Dude
Anick I have stepped on small bees 2 times. I used to love going barefoot but that taught me.
Have a super day all !!

Hi everyone!

My friend had a dog who had seizures, too, and her vet put her on phenobarbitol, I think. But those of you who remember Droopy, she had one and then was pretty much brain dead. It was awful. So I guess it depends on the cause and severity.

Anick, I love your garden!! It is so nice!!

Dee, I have been stung too, and I know it is no picnic!! I think the scorpion sting hurt worse, though!

Carol, stepping on bees sounds awful! How long did you limp afterwards?

Good morning everyone Happy Tuesday
Laura I hope the empty shelves are just because the truck hadn't arrived due to climate weather and not a shortage of supplies
Lisa I thought scorpions were poison and a bite from them would be deadly. But glad they are not since you have been stung by them. Thanks for the information about dogs and raw eggs. When Lisa picked chloe up on Sunday she said what caused her diarrhea she ate a whole apple that she was going to feed the chickens. Tori gets along okay with Chloe stays her distance but Dallas likes to play and start problems she went one day to Chloe to try and get her to play and Chloe growled was going to attack her so I made Dallas move quickly and whenever I went to Rosemarie house I locked Dallas up in her kennel for the 2 hours got her out when I was home to keep an eye one her
Carol I love that your husband calls Pooks Super Dude and he is indeed a Super Dude that we all love
Anick I love your garden and does that fence do good to keep Willy out or is the garden in an area he can't get to. I know Lori who has Droopy we are friends on facebook is that your friend you are talking about with a dog named Droopy. If so her dog Rascal has seizures too and is blind now
Hugs Dee, Tori & Dallas

Lisa I limped just a few seconds. Not letting a bee get the best of me and you have to shake the bad things/times off and keep on keeping on!
Pooks gets 1 egg, boiled almost everyday. Never thought of raw though. He gets half a boiled egg at breakfast with his food and again at his supper time.
