      @Aria Shake a treat bag, that usually how you cause a force-start.

        @kalakh Has your vet checked for a serious calcium deficiency and looked at your little old powder puff’s thyroid function? I assume yes, but decided after a mental tug-of-war to post this anyway because my dog, at age 15ish, started having seizures that traumatized everybody (including the cats) about 3 years ago and our vet found out something-something-thyroid was draining her calcium to horrifically low levels and after a 3 day visit she was sent home with temporary anti-convulsive medications and orders to give her 2 Tums a day.

        Two. Fucking. Tums.

        You’ve likely already had this looked into but I couldn’t sit back and not suggest it, so hopefully it’s not rude or overstepping bounds or looking like I think you/your vet don’t know what they’re doing.

        She’s a cutie pie and these photos of her made my morning, so thanks 🙂

          I’m relatively certain that’s one of the things that were checked a few times, but I’m afraid it’s not easy to confirm or to test again (and don’t worry! I deeply appreciate things like this). They’re definitely stress related seizures, though, they have all had extremely clear triggers with the exception of one a few Christmas Eves back, but we think that was the result of a considerably long walk + flashing house lights. Unfortunately, one of those triggers is going to the vet (lol, of course), and the last time we took her she started seizing about five minutes into the trip, ended up having something like twelve over the course of an hour or two, and ended up at the pet hospital for two days. They’ve got worse, with expanded triggers, since she first started having them, but that was quite a few years back (she was…7? I don’t remember).

          She’s got a very nice traveling vet now, and on her current medication regimen hasn’t had one since, so I’d mostly just be worried about the blood draw.

            Another foster for our rescue has a pregnant mama giving birth RIGHT NOW.

            And since I mostly (except for the sad traumatic ending) missed my Miss Mouse giving birth, I’m watching the live stream avidly.

              A change of your name to KittyDoula just might be in order soon.

                    This morning, Benny and I were playing a rousing game of Crazy Dog, which mostly involves exuberant wrestling and an attempt at viciously murdering both of my hands for daring to tussle his face fuzz.

                    In the middle of said game he freezes completely still, gazes up at me with big, soulful brown eyes full of sweetness and love, and right as I start making cute noises and lean in to kiss his snoot…

                    Sneezes right in my face.

                    Twice.

                    really

                      @Aria That is DISGUSTING but also I am fascinated by the edited gif. It is distracting me from everything you said. I keep watching as the dude turns and the line on the edge of his face blurs and disappears.

                        @Aria dogs sneeze during play to let others know they’re happy and it’s not serious aggression. Darcy does it so much when he’s rough housing and it took me forever to realize he’s probably overcompensating because he’s a scary wolf creature

                          @helvetica omg that is FASCINATING and ADORABLE and this i why i can’t do dogs. EVERY BIT OF THEIR HAPPINESS IS DISPLAYED IN MUCUS AND DROOL.

                          Your pics are real cute tho. And dry.

                            Ohh, I’m not actually upset. I’m not at all upset. I thought it was hilarious, even as I announced “Seriously, dude?!?”

                            But just know that you’re staring into a trap right now.

                                    My Sable was the best mother ever, I "m sure. Because she had been so malnourished, she only had 1 kitten so she devoted all her attention toward him. If he so much as squeaked, she’d run over and lie down so he could eat. She didn’t wean him for almost 3 months (which probably explains why he’s so fucking spoiled now; it’s his mother’s fault, totally not mine).

                                      A dog is lying beside me with his head pressed hard into my thigh. Even more than his fur, I feel his heat and the hardness of his skull. I would take a picture, but that means getting up for my phone, and that means a dog’s head would no longer be against my thigh, so you can see how I can’t help you.

                                            And now he is a happy retired service dog. Brother will miss him, but Levi was ready to just be a dog.
