Short term, long term. It doesn't matter either way with me.......I can't remember anything useful when I need it! I don't know exactly when that happened........ when I was in high school and college I had top marks and never studied, just recalled everything I'd learned, and now..................well..........I think it has something to do with having children; they kill off brain cells as well as give you grey hair!!!

I've had a very sad day here. My sweet, silly cocker spaniel Coconut passed away this morning... she was only 4 years old. :-( :-( She started having massive seizures about a month ago, out of the blue. Rushed her to the vet, they found nothing in the bloodwork, put her on meds (phenobarb). It worked like a charm, altho the dose was high and she was a bit groggy all month, but no seizures. She had her re-check appt set for this Friday to run more lab work and adjust her dose. Well, last night in the middle of the night she had a seizure, and then again early this morning. Called the vet, they said to bring her in at 10 am... so I laid with her on the bed for a while, snuggling, then did a few things around the house, and when it was close to time to leave I went to get her. She was still on the bed, her silly little tongue hanging way out as usual, but when I touched her to wake her up... she was gone. She had passed quietly and apparently gently in her sleep. I am so greatful for that, really I am, and I am also greatful that I was here at home with her... but it's so hard.

I had found her as a tiny pup on the interstate, and she had neurological damage... and was seriously simple in the brains department, but she was a sweetie. Always happy, that little stub was always going. I hope she is somewhere completely free and healthy now, chasing chickens in the clouds.

Poor Coconut. I'm so sorry to hear that, Lori.

Thanks James-- we were just talking about loss not too long ago, weren't we.

Well-- on a positive note-- I had the opportunity to watch Miriam shed again this evening. She was so graceful wriggling out of that out-of-date skin ("Oh, it's so last year") and it came off in one perfect piece. Too cool to watch.
