After last night's emotional entry I talked a bit with my roommate.  As much as I may have been complaining about Jon lately, he's still a really good friend.  When he got home and could tell I'd been crying, he immediately got online and started looking up solutions to separation anxiety in dogs.  He comforted me by telling me he also thought ( Read more... )

Every day I just keep hoping this will be the day things start getting better with the dog.  Every day I come home with hope that today will be different, today I'll be able to see progress.  And now it just seems to be getting worse and worse.

He peed in the living and in the kitchen today.

Since we've moved in, I've been tying the cupboards under ( Read more... )

I overslept today so we couldn't go on a morning walk, and Inspector refused to use the bathroom at all this morning unless I put his leash on him and acted like he was going for a walk.  I tried putting him behind the doggie gate, and he got out I imagine immediately as he was out when I got home.  He peed in the house … again.

I'm starting to ( Read more... )

So yesterday morning, the moment I let Inspector out to go potty, he started eating grass.  While he's always been an inside dog, he's also always been around grass when he goes out for potty, and I'd never seen him eat any before.  He didn’t even potty, it seemed like he was waiting to go out specifically to eat grass.  I left him out there for ( Read more... )

I overslept and didn't get to walk the dog.  I also didn’t prepare his Kong treat either last night, or this morning.  I really barely caught the bus I was running so late.  However, upon getting home I got all the way to the door before he even realized I was home, and he was actually sleeping in his crate of all places which is unusual.  He's ( Read more... )

Got my teeth cleaned today.  The hygienist was friends with a co-worker of mine I've known since high school.  I'm sure this happens a lot in other places, but it happens enough in Albuquerque that we all say "that's Smallbuquerque for you" when it does.  Yes, I realize that's dumb but it's what we say.  I only got mildly lectured about not ( Read more... )

So after my journal entry last night, I had another seizure.  Since my doctor's visit I've had three, one on March 23rd and the other two today.  I called my neurologist to see what he recommended, and he said the blood test showed I was in a normal range as far as the level of the Keppra in my blood, but there was room to go up.  He wants me to ( Read more... )

I had a seizure today at work.  I've been keeping a log of them for many reasons, but mostly to make sure I'm aware if they are increasing or decreasing in frequency.  I looked at my log upon getting home, and here's what it said for today:

4/3/12 @ 12:56 pm.  Lasted about 2 minutes total.  Remained aware of surroundings, but felt disoriented and ( Read more... )

I bought a doggie gate to try to keep Inspector confined to the kitchen, it cost me around $250.00.  Within two hours of using it, he literally broke one of the slats in half, got out, and peed in the hallway.

The next day I went to Petsmart and bought him a dog house and outside watering bowl.  The wall around the yard is a little over four feet ( Read more... )

For some reason I realized today that there is a chance my LJ will not always be there.  At the start of the year I had wanted to start using the OneNote WebApp from Microsoft on my SkyDrive as a place to write my journal, then simply copy and paste it into LJ as long as it was there.  This is ideal because I can download and save the OneNote ( Read more... )
