SUMMER BREEZE........MAKES ME FEEL FINE....!

 Man O Man it's been nice and warm! I LOVE IT! The ladies say I should be named Sunny the Sun-dog! Around noon I start looking for the bright spots in the room and "lazing down". They also say I've been smiling lately. I was hard for me to smile when it was cold and I was having the shakes every few days. But the sunshine helps.  Sometimes when it gets too hot, I have to do my spider dawg impression and sleep on my back. I cant wait til I get to start taking walks again! Lady Kay used to take me before and after she went to work AND to the dog park on weekends! That was a lot of playing so I did a lot of sleeping!  Thats ok because that's 2 of my favorite things.

                                                                                         

                                                                                                   

  King of Jungle?? NOT ME the Lions can have it! I'm gonna soak up the sun..... Im gonna tell everyone to lighten up! Being king of the rays is where it's at!  And when I make myself too hot from  being in the sun too long they give me frozen chicken bullion cubes to eat. When it's hot and we go on walks I have a puppy back pack and they put ice packs in the pockets to keep me cool.   They ladies also keep talking about something called "swimming!"  I don't know what that is but if it's fun in the sun.... I say lets do it!  I'll keep y'all posted!

Hi! My Name Is Jake and I'm an Epileptic...

Wednesday November 14, 2012 at approx 1:47 pm I was diagnosed with Adult onset Epilepsy.

I'm a 15 month old Lab mix.  I love going to the doggie park, hangin with my DAWGZ at Doggie Daycare a Doggie Mannerz, squeaky toys, chewing up lady Kay's slippers and laying in piles of cloths.  I steal yummy food off the counter when no one is looking, I like to chew and chew and CHEW! I'm a normal dog. And I have Epilepsy.  Lady Kay saw my first seizure on Halloween 2012.  I can't remember if that was my first one or not. But I had my 2nd and 3rd one 15 days later at 3:00 am and 3:53 am.  She called my vet the next morning. They reported the first one and my regular vet did blood work and an examination and everything was fine.  This time because I'm so young and the seizures are so violent and because I had 2 within an hour of each other my Vet felt I needed to go Advanced Veterinary Care.  It was there where I was diagnosed. They put me on medication: Potassium Bromide. I had to take 2 tablets every 6 hours for the first day and then just 2 a day from now on.  I go back to the vet to check my Potassium in 21 days.  Lady Kay has been reading up on epilepsy in doggies. I'm not the only one. That makes me feel good that I'm not alone. There are millions of doggies out there like me and they go on to live long happy lives. And there are millions of people out there like me too that have epilepsy.  I know for little kids it's scarey and sometimes it embarrasses them when it happens. I want them to know it's ok and to be strong and brave.Maybe one day when I get my own epilepsy under control I can go around to schools and talk to kids about it so they know they're not alone.
           Lady Kay says I'm an amazing doggie. And only a Dog like me would find out they have epilepsy during National Epilepsy Month. (November)

  Hi My name is Jake. And I'm an epileptic. And you can call me "Shake n Jake!!!"
