    Well STella went 2 months, we're happy for that, but had a seizure yesterday........not as bad as past ones, but still having them............I guess we have to be glad they are at least not as frequent, and we are..........just wish they would lessen more.........

    Today was a first for Dozer - Snow - This guy went out to play 4 times before sunrise and wants back out again. The sun hasn't risen yet either. He isn't sure what it is, but he likes it LOL.

    My Tervuen loved snow. Throw a snowball, he'd try to find it. A kick ball, or tennis ball would be good for hours, or as long as I could stay out.

    I agree......my daughter's dog would not leave my side.....always was on top of me, next to me, following me before my diagnosis......I use to say to my daughter....."I swear this dog is trying to tell me someting".......

    After I was dx he hardly came near me........I do belive they know...........

    The night before my 1st baby was born my mother's cocker spaniel was putting her head between my legs, leaning on my belly, and whining......would not stop.......I went into labor 6am the next morning...............LOL.........they know............

    Love Dozer in the snow! My Rocco loved the snow too. He'd get all excited, like a puppy.

    Ducky: that story is amazing about your mom's cocker spaniel. They do know!

    Divorce situations are strange - When my GD comes to visit my son for the summer, Mommy always has to "one-up" him by getting GD what ever she talks about over the phone with her. This year GD kept talking about Dozer to Mommy, so when she got home Tesla was waiting for her. I am still amazed that Mommy still has him. It usually wears off in the few months and she gets rid of her pets. A few years back it was 2 kittens and she gave them away and left GD upset for months. In fact, that was all she talked about with me - mom getting rid of her kitties. I hope she keeps Tesla - he has become a good buddy for my GD (the sweety on the left). This was taken at her birthday party in October.

    Gma, that is a sweet poem. The dog that I had as a kid was a beagle/dachshund mix that we got at a pet store for $5. He was so tolerant of all the things we did to him, we were always dressing him up! My brother's Boy Scout hat and neckerchief,,, got a photo of that somewhere. We had a portable dishwasher that you could roll over to the sink. He would jump on a chair and then up on the dishwasher so he could oversee the kitchen! That was his spot.

    Ava is really tolerant of hats and things around her neck, but she doesn't like shirts or jackets. She just freezes and won't move!
