eloisel said:Gonad, the only reason why I've responded so much to him in this thread is because I'm up all hours of the day and night with the old dog. It is kind of hard to sleep with him bumping up and down the hallway. When he quits, I have to get up and check to make sure he hasn't fallen and can't get back up or is stuck somewhere. He got stuck under an end table the other night, got frustrated and sent it sailing across the room to smash into the wall. Bad end table was a nuisance anyway, but, still, have to get up and protect him from the furniture and the furniture from him! The rest of the time I was working on homework and since the computer is online all the time I switch over here for a break from studies. Think - to be only marginally more interesting than Business Law - Leases, Contracts, Corporations, etc.....
Enkephelan - thanks for the good thoughts. Big dog is up and doing his rounds now so I'm up with him. I miss those days when I could put the kids on restriction and punish them with hard labor. I had the cleanest baseboards on the planet. Used to hope they'd do something at least a tiny bit bad. Dang ... I need to adopt some wild kids!
He is taking his meds without too much fuss. He was already on glucosamine/chondroltin, fish oil, B12, a low dose of hydrocodone and aspirin because he has hip displaysia and osteoarthritis. I'm adding hawthorne berry to the mix to help thin his blood and regulate his heart to prevent another stroke. Also, keeping him out of the heat so he doesn't have a heat stroke too. He seems to instinctively know he has to get up, walk and move to the left as much as possible to redevelop the damaged area of his brain - much like when children's brains develop while crawling. It is hard to tell how much brain damage there is. He answers to his name and remembers where the food and water are as well as the other animals. We're trying to keep his stress level low - as low as can be given the situation. He is also getting a ton of brushing, petting, neck rubbing, hip and leg massages, and the cats are back to snuggling with him. I've got to get him a helmet and make him a temporary cart. I've found plans for the cart but will have to make some adjustments so it will work in the house. For his size, the wheelchair will be too wide for him to use in the house so he'll have to wait for late fall for that.Gonad said:Back on topic.
How is he with medication?
Undoubtedly. I'll be sure and look for you when I get there.RWC said:Clearly you are going to hell.

I don't have a problem with people knowing my name. Lots of people know it. It is a good name. The question is why do you two assholes need to know it? What purpose does it serve you? I can see the two of you - the senile pedophile and his aging juvenile lover - Pointing and laughing "you have a funny name." Geez - just when I thought you couldn't be more retarded. Oh - and I'd thank you two for being a fan but both of you really suck.
Hey there curiousa2z! I was wondering if you were still around here.curiousa2z said:Hey e!

I wish. My wood floors wouldn't be taking such a beating. If this goes on for very much longer, I'm going to have to put down linoleum ... [shudder].Panda said:are you sure this dog really exists and isn't a figment of your imagination?
