epilipsy is a real b1tch of a way to die. fvcking tumors, y'know. thanks for your sympathy and I'm sorry to hear about your parent's dog
Just gotta remember the good times, i guess.
Like how he used to dance with my mom to the radio. He was 125 pounds, but he'd still hop up on his hind legs and rumba. good times.
or how he always stayed in the yard, even if people walked by with their dogs or called out to him, unless we told him directly to "go say hi, woofer", he'd stay in the yard (no leash or anything). still baffles me how well trained he was, w/o training.
Or how he never barked or scratched the door to go outside or come back in. He always went out at 4am and back in 10 minutes later. Always the same way: went in front of my parent's room and gently shook his tags (just enough to wake my mom, a light sleeper). and to come back in, he'd "woof" only just loud enough to tell my mom to "let me back in plz'. noone else ever thought he barked in the morning cause it was so precisely tuned for only us to hear it It's funny too, now that I look back, that if we didn't answer within 5 minutes, he'd "woof" again but with a "woof?"-type questioning like "you there?"
or when we couldn't find him all afternoon one day, and then I was walking in front of our shrubs in the front lawn and a nose was poking out from beneith, towards the street so he could watch if any neighbor kids were strolling by who would say hi to him. All while remainng in the shade.
God i miss you even more now woofer. RIP

Dude, that totally sucks... :brokenheart:
I lost both my old doggies this year... one in January(over 15 years old) and the second one in July(over 10 years old) and I was totally crushed.
I know it sounds like old stupid advice but get a new pup... I got a new friend in late July from the pound and I must say this is the coolest dog ever... she hasn't replaced my two old friends but she is already an irreplacable friend in her own way. Here is her pic. Pic
Take care. :beer:

update, my mom and dads dog is doing better.
he had 6 seizures overall and was in E-R care over night on tuesday.
he is back home and is on barbituates for at least 6 months.

word of advice: keep him on longer. we tried temp meds on our dog, but the seizures re-occured. we had him on double dose of phenobarbitol most of the time. unfortunately, he acted like he was stoned, out of place most of the time. sniffing and exploring the hosue he always lived in like it was brand new. It was horrible.
glad to hear your dog is getting better, just don't think it's over quite yet. here's hoping though
