Charlie's ears perked up when I read him your post. He thinks Ginger is so pretty, and I don't think he would be a "dirty old man", just sniff, give her a kiss and probably run around. However, he is in competition with the younger boys ie Winston and Bernie. Wait, no competition from Bernie except acting like a big brother.

And then there is Tinker, he loves to say her name. Tinker, Tinker, Tinker. Of course, I remind him she is just a wee lassie and he says "okay, Momma".

He seems to be emitting a sound lately which sounds like a whistle (no, it isn't gas). Then, I find him sitting in the corner, chin up in the air and there is the sound again. Perhaps he is practicing how to woo Ginger.

Anyway, he will be a perfect gentleman. And if Ginger invites him into her crate, not to fear, his noofskies are no longer.

You're too funny. Tink's asleep or I'd let her answer. I know she would be happy for Ginger to have an adoring suitor. And Ginger's mommie would make them behave anyway.

Sending Tinker a special hug and hope she is feeling better. Warmly, Deborah (Charlie is also asleep)

BTW, tink won't mind that Winston is fixed, she is too!

did tink have a bile acid test to rule out liver shunt?

Tink's seizures are the result of having severe histoplasmosis that damaged her neurological system. She has some other minor neuro problems in addition to the seizures. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

More hugs and best wishes to you and Tink, from both Winston and I. How's it going, Tink do you like your new bigger crate?

[Tink's Mom]

Tink loves her bigger crate now. The first day was a little touch and go cause she wasn't used to having so much room.

The only had one seizure yesterday and that was at night. I'm assuming because her diaper is dry when I come home at noon and again after work that she isn't seizing during the day. The ones at night are geting milder and milder. I wonder why they only happen at night.

[wemple2]

Good question...maybe she is in such a relaxed mode, sleeping soundly. I don't know...maybe that would be something you should discuss with her vet.
Best wishes for Tink to recover fully!!!

I'm so glad Tink is doing well. We had a family dog that would go through those episodes too. They are scary. And they react differently to each one. Glad everyone is ok. XOXOXO
