I have about a 11 yo Shih Tzu, he is a grumpy old man.  He has quite a variety of noises - groans, little whines, shrill barks, etc.  Very expressive.  Now I am working at home again (past 2 months) after 6 years out and he is so happy to sit by side of my desk.  But I am in the basement and he has a hard time with stairs (short little legs) so he whines at the top of the stairs, until someone is "watching him" before he begins to go down. 

If only we could vacation there via a time machine...LOL.

I used to work in a convenience store about 20 years ago and one time this guy walked in.  He was a -regular-.  Anyway, he walked right inside the door, looked down at his muddy boots and proceeded to knock the dried mud off right there in front of the cash register.  It flew everywhere.  Clumps all over the place.  And then he just kept walking.  I always wondered if he did that at home, too.

People can be so oblivious!

So you may be right...of course, it'll happen at the end, then we'll have to wait til Monday to see what happens...(my guilty pleasure...soaps!)

He even has his green and red on for the card - the collar and tag!  What a cutie pie!

With me, first child I was out of the bed seriously within 5 minutes of having him.  I didn't tear or have to be cut, he was 7 pounds, 3 ounces.  The doctor did some type of vaginal massage on me though while I was in labor and that was supposed to help loosen the vaginal wall?

Second child, same experience.  She was 8 pounds, 1 ounce and within 5 minutes of having her, while they took her to the nursery to get cleaned up and all, I walked downstairs with my husband to the cafeteria to get a drink and stretch my legs.  I had already put my regular clothes back on as well.  My doctor who delivered her was walking in my room as I was walking in and he was stunned a second and said he thought I was a visitor, LOL, not the patient.

I don't think you have to have bed rest in normal cases.  With my son I went home within 24 hours with him and with my daughter we went home in only 20 hours.

Sorry I referred to him as female before.  (I've had too much coffee today - I seem to have energy, but no focus.)  It is stressful to try to watch them all the time and to be worrying about them all the time.  I sure hope he'll be okay. 

I actually meant to give you this website in my other post (like I said, no focus!)  It seems to cover pretty much everything about canine epilepsy, and I really like the advice way down near the bottom "Living With An Epileptic Pet."   http://www.canine-epilepsy.net/basics/basics_main.html

I think there are e-mail lists for people with epileptic pets too, which are probably very supportive and helpful. 

I wish you both well.  Please let us know how he's doing.   

When I lost a filling NOTHING took the pain away and I loaded up on as much Tylenol as was safe.  The best thing I found was liquid Anbesol, the strongest strength they make, soaked on a piece of cotton gauze...the kind with like a webbing around it, put right over the tooth.  I also remember staying plastered pretty much the whole time with whiskey high balls. 

I hope you feel better soon!  Nothing worse than dental pain, in my opinion.

He is just looking for love and now he is getting played by Donna (who in my opinion looks like a tramp and is acting like one).  I do agree that the look on Stephanie's face will be priceless...and then she will lunge at Donna and try to kill her....good times, good times!

I know exactly the humiliation she is feeling and can totally relate.  What that 'teacher' said and did is just wrong.  I can only hope she didn't mentally scar your daughter for the rest of her life. 

I got my first period when I was in junior high...was wearing a white skirt to boot.  I heard giggling and normal noise of all us students transferring to and from class but had no idea people were laughing at ME.  Finally, halfway through the day, an older girl who I had no idea who she was, pulled me into the bathroom and said that I may want to go to the nurse's office because there was blood all over the back of my skirt.  I actually took off my skirt, washed it in the TOILET WATER, and hid there the rest of the day until the final bus left and walked home, probably at least 5 miles, completely destroyed.

For such a 'normal' body function that no one should be surprised about, why on earth did no one bother to tell me about it, rather humiliate me like that?  ...and yes, it messed me up for life. 

That adult needs to have her naked behind paddled in public in front of all her peers to even come close to feeling the humiliation your daughter just felt.  Go right to the top and defend your poor daughter.

You must be heartbroken.  How sad!    You did the best you could.

and died from one.  He went to the vet that day and she put him on medication.  I called her and told her he was having more seizures and she said to double his medication.  That night, he had a seizure and did  not come out of it and died staring at me.  I felt so helpless that I could not do anything to help him.  I loved him so much.

Now I have another doed that is only 2-1/2 and he is having seizures about 1 every 3 months.  He gets very scared and I have to comfort him.  He wines and gets under my feet, can't stand up, drools, shivers and goes stiff.
