So it’s been a couple weeks since I posted, mostly because I’ve been crazy busy with work.  Powered Flight was insane, and then classes started up this week which has been a different kind of crazy.

Anyway, we’ve pretty much settled into a routine with Shadow at this point.  If we don’t let her play hard outside with Ghost, she generally doesn’t have seizures.  If we let her, then she does.  So most of the time we don’t let her, because I want to keep the seizures to a minimum.  She’s doing tremendously well overall, basically being a normal, bratty, ornery Husky puppy.  She is still kind of mellow, but definitely has a lot more spunk.  She started a Canine Good Citizen class this past week as well, and definitely wasn’t the worst dog in the class.  She made some huge improvements over the class period, and the best part was she didn’t have a seizure.  We had taken her to a dog park on Saturday, and she did have one there.  She did really well otherwise, and got completely doused in mud.  I really think she’s kind of a one and done kind of dog with those seizures.

We saw Dr. Clarke again today for a brief check up, and he’s given the ok for her to get spayed.  So, we have an appointment for a consult with one of the specialty surgeons at the Chesapeake Veterinary Center next Tuesday.  We may or may not proceed with the spay the following day, or we may wait until we get back from Colorado the following week.  That one depends on what the surgeon thinks about spaying her and then having her boarded 2 days later.  Overall though, Dr. Clarke is very pleased with her progress, but he did bump up the Keppra to 750 mg because she’s grown quite a bit since this all started.  Fatty McFatFat weighed 49 lbs this morning, and is almost as tall as Ghost now.  Someone is in a growth spurt…
