Scouts and Owl Boxes

Stupid Boy Scouts and their owl boxes. I have to miss my friends band at El Rio on Saturday night because of them!

I have to be at work by 9 AM on Sunday which means no going out for me on Saturday night. I CANNOT be hung over while working with boy scouts in 100* temperatures.

Even the thought of that is sending me over the edge...

I guess this is what being a ranger is all about....Sacrifice.

Bringin On The Heartache

Oh My God. This is one of my Top Ten All Time Favorite Videos. Was yours as un-synched as mine? Was it always this bad and I don't remember? How beautiful these boys Huh..?

Those were the days. When the the singer was young and hairless. Before the drummer's accident--And those Union Jack flag shorts--don't get me started.. !

I learned how to play guitar by watching videos like this back in the 80's.

And I've always wanted to cover this song.......Mega Witch? Mighty Tight?

Love Story 07

This is the love story between our cat Yuki and our dog Gabe.

One minute in love---next minute ready to rip each others entrails out.

Gabe's blood work came back and it is all normal.

And past couple of days. No seizures.

The next time she has 3 in a week we have to start on the dopey drugs. I hope they never come back. But they will.

I used to listen to the Olivia Newton-John version of this song. Sitting in front of the big stereo in my parents living room. It was my brothers record. I would listen and stare at the album cover of ONJ. She was pictured in a river, only her head was showing and it was all wet. Maybe that's what made me a lesbian..?

Anyway, say what you will about the White Stripes. I still wish I could be them.

Update on Gabe: The vet took a blood sample to see what might be there. If nothing else it will give us a base line for her liver. She'll probably start the seizure pills soon.

Gabe

This is our friend C. vacuuming our dog Gabe.

Every time C. comes down from Redding with girlfriend S. She helps us figure out the most direct and simple ways to care for our brood of 4 legged creatures.

This particular problem....shedding of hair.

Gabe has been having seizures for the last year or so. But recently she started having 2-3 a day. Really short ones. The first seizures she had were quite long (15-20 minutes). And she would only have one in a day. Most times those episodes would be months apart. Now they're about 3-6 minutes long and she's having them everyday.

We've been researching dog seizures on the net but it really could be attributed to a million different things. Heredity, Food allergies, cancer, low sodium, the car accident she was in before we got her from the rescue agency, etc...

Poor Gabe. She's our alpha dog. She runs our little pack. I know the loss of control is hard for her.

Tomorrow is her vet appointment with our favorite SPCA Doc. The prognosis is probably not going to be very good. One thing I did find in the research we did is that when seizures start to cluster --that is not a good sign. And since Kimm and I are not millionaires we can only do so much for her. But we will do everything we can for our little G.
