Play Time with Monty

The only bad thing about rattlesnake warning signs on your doors is that if my house ever caught fire, I'm guessing I'd have been toast? But the signs gave
me so many smiles that I put them up anyway.

I think you & your friend should stay off the ice...

That's totally heart-breaking about Lucy having such a reaction in traffic, as you say maybe a "flashback"- that's worse than anything I've seen or heard of, but it's
strange that she likes to ride in the car & yet reacted to your stopping the car? Maybe she really did have a seizure? Some flea & tick meds have that side effect,
especially for certain breeds of dogs, or so I've heard?

Dogs remember & suffer for years from the bad treatment they've had, & they have bad dreams too. (I cuddle mine when they do, if I'm awake.) When I had that
abused female Doberman, I even changed her name so she wasn't "reminded". She was so sweet, I could just say her name & she'd wiggle with happiness from
head to tail. I'll never understand how horrible some treat animals...

Ha! Didn’t think of the “house fire” situation.

About Lucy - she’s only done it once and it was when I just randomly stopped in the middle of the highway and stepped out of the vehicle. It was horrible. Pretty sure it wasn’t a seizure as I had a chihuahua-mix that took 5 pills, including Phenobarbital for seizures twice a day, for 8 yrs. Yes, that’s 10 pills daily. Poor baby would have Grand-mal seizures about every 6 weeks or so, and it would last off & on, all night. I’d typically end up going to the emergency vet about 3am to get him a shot of Valium to stop the status epilepticcus. He was the sweetest dog. Again, cried like a biatch when he crossed over.

I do the same thing when they’re having a bad dream. They usually wake us up when it happens due to them both sleeping in the bed with us.

Awww that’s the sweetest! Never thought about changing a dog’s name in order to facilitate healing. Brilliant. Sounds like you’re one of the rare ones. Love it.
