July 14, 2013: It may be hot but we are weathering it well

Freckles gave Glamis a CAT scan...maybe her positive
 diagonosis is why he has perked up

Something clicked on Friday and Glamis has been doing very well ever since.  He is not ballarina graceful and I would not take him into a china shop but he is getting up on his own and showing interest in what is going on around him.  Saturday had a slight setback because he went to the park in the middle of the day and it was really too hot - for him.  The remainder of the day he slept and was grounded from any more park trips that day.

 I was a little worried he had really over done it when he did not even get up at bed time to come to the bedroom.  He slept on the kitchen floor all night.  At 2:30 am, I dragged a dog bed out next to him and slept on it for awhile.  We are adjusting his meds so being in another room concerned me if I did not hear a seizure.

We have spent most of today - Sunday in the airconditioning.  It is in the 90's and heat tires him out faster than the others.  He was allowed a very short trip to the park in the evening.  The only time I have had to help him get up is when he is on tile or wood.  We have brought out all of Arri's area rugs  and carpet remnents to make it as safe as possible.

This is the most alert we have seen him in a week,
Begging posture perfected....too bad Tim was fixing the ceiling
fan on the table, not eating

Food is still of highest priority.  He seems to think he is allowed to beg at the table now.  NOT.  Special treats are still given in the food bowl at meal times.  The exception has always been fruit.  When cutting up watermelon, cantalope or pineapple, there is always a row of dogs drooling behind me and they get bits and pieces.  Nothing like cold watermelon on a hot day.
