A lot has happened since my last post, and Shadow has been doing fantastic.  After getting things under control and adding the phenobarb, we haven’t had any seizures for 23 days.  This is an all time record for her since they began.

We went back to see Dr. Clarke a week after the cluster incident, and she was doing well enough at that point that he gave his blessing for the spay the following week.  We scheduled it for that following Wednesday, and it went off without a hitch.  She spent the night there, and was apparently rather vehemently protesting her confinement in a cage.  When I called to check up, I could hear her in the background telling everyone she was not happy.  When I picked her up on Thursday she was her normal little self and wanting to be the maniacal little Husky puppy that she is.  Needless to say, she was on crate rest for a few days so she couldn’t get too rambunctious with Ghost.

On the subject of crates, we’ve had a fun little regression and she’s crapped in her crate and then slept in it pretty much every night for the last couple weeks.  There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of shit permeating the bedroom.  This morning she decided when my alarm went off that it was poop time, luckily I saw it develop and she didn’t get any on her.  But now I need to clean up 2 crate pans.  And scoop kitty litter.  I guess I’m going to have a crappy evening 😛

Today was our first midterm in the class I teach, and I brought Shadow in for my mids.  They talk all the time about missing their pets back home, and I figured that petting a dog during a test would take the edge off their test anxiety.  She was a huge hit, and the mids absolutely adored her.  It’s hard not to love her, she’s so sweet.  People tell me all the time how much they love her and how sweet she is.  I love my dog.  Here’s a picture of her during my 2nd class period of the day:

Here’s hoping for a seizure free weekend and no baths in the immediate future for Shadow…
