Downhill week....

Mom called yesterday and told me that Rudy the standard poodle (who is 13 years old) had a seizure of some type last night. They woke up when he was shaking by the foot of the bed. They laid him down on his bed and calmed him down after a bit. They ran him to the vet first thing in the morning and they ran tests and bloodwork and basically came back and said nothing shows up, but keep an eye on him and here is the name of a veteranary neurologist if you are interested, but he is a 13 year old dog and he is getting old. Mom said he is up and around and eating a lot today, but he is a little gimpy on one leg that he might have hit when he went down during the seizure.

Maybe we can blame it on the full moon. There have been a lot of weird things going on lately. I burned the chicken on the grill this weekend which I never do, the weird lady moved out from the apartment which isnt bad but it involves weirdness, the power has been going out all over town with great frequency, and a lot of other little things. I am tempted to go to bed, sleep off the rest of the week and start all over again next week hopefully weird free....

I hope Rudy is going to be ok. Ri has those tremors with greater frequency now, not full blown siezures, but I understand your concern. We'll think good thought for him, maybe it was just an isolated incident.

We are sending you & Rudy both some good karma from south GA.

Seizures are scary and I know how worried you must be about him.
Hopefully it was just an isolated incident and that will be the last of them.
