Heartbroken Check with your state & see if they will go back & pick up that doctor bill. I just looked up your state. Girl you need to get out and vote, those politicians sure aren't helping the little people of Oregon. http://www.chn.org/pdf/factsheets/Oregon.pdf They're cutting your programs. I found this site for you. Good Luck. http://www.cwla.org/ Child Welfare League of America Children's advocacy organization active in lobbying and humanitarian projects in the US.

I have a dog who has seizures. He usually has them early a.m. (5 am? usually) and I have 2 others. One of them in particular - Ginger - has vivid dreams. Or at least I think she does. She just seems to chase rabbits in her sleep -- or other dogs -- or squirrels -- or cats... you name it. Ginger just seems to have vivid dream states, much like humans do. Her background indicates she had little human contact in her early youth, and spent more time in the wild than my other two dogs. So her dreams are just how she's wired. But they are by no means a seizure. You just have a dog with a big imagination or a really good memory :) I'd love to know what she is dreaming about, but that rapid running foot movement and nose snarl in her sleep tells me she is having lots of fun. I've woken her up during them (you WOULD NOT be able to do that if it were a seizure), and she's lifted her head and given me a look as if to say, "WHY did you wake me up???? I was having FUN!" And then promptly lay back down and go back to sleep. I think she is her own dog.

We moved to a new house in Georgia with my 15 yr old chow chow. We left her in the garage while we went shopping, no fence yet either,and she actually chewed the frame off the door leading back into the house.It took a while for her to calm down to the new surroundings.I would not have purchased a home that would not allow a fence. My dog is a family member, you must think of their needs also.

Susan, I'm only three hours from Little Rock. Next time let me know, I'll come visit my sister in NLR and we'll go find some glass stores :) Oh, Barb, that's awful! We have had a really nice summer so far. I think we had about five inches of rain spread over June, and have already had about that much this month! But the past two years were drought years for us, we lost an acre and a half of strawberries last year to drought. Nearly lost the rest to the freeze Easter weekend! But the Lord was good and gave them back to us, had maybe a 50% crop. We did lose so much of our blueberry crop that we had none to sell this year, and the blackberry crop is not much to brag about. What the freeze didn't get, the junebugs are going to ruin. We get a gallon here and there, but we should be picking several thousand pounds so by comparison it's pretty sad. My husband is about ready to mow them down and stick with other crops. With all the rain a new field of raspberries has done very well, also we sell vegetables at Farmer's Market two days a week. Which is why I am going to try to go back to bed, I have market in the morning!
