Isn't there an end point to these drops?

End point = when his ear infections are gone. They are far from that point now. First there was antibiotics and then the steroids and now the drops with the twice monthly vet ear cleanings.

Once the ear infections are taken care of, we will move onto dental issues. He can't go under until we have those cleared up as it's likely he won't react well to it.

Why would you be sad about the bowlegged part? Gidget was adorable and she'd worn them from a few weeks old so she grew around them. Do you feel sad when you see a cowboy/cowgirl walk? They are bowlegged because of their lifestyles as well.

Wearing the doggie pants was her choice. She was perfectly potty trained to go outside and let us know when she had to go but she chose to get our attention, stand right in front of the door and piss. Multiple times. As soon as we put the pants back on her, she was cool.

I think she liked the routine of her coming to us, us chasing her down to get them off, all the while talking to Brodie and chastising her for wiggling so much and then the mad dash for the door. It was playtime for her.

You get sad about interesting things. You are a strange duck, my friend.

Today is a progression of yesterday for Oliver. I'm certain he's feeling 'twingey' aka close to a seizure. He isolates himself, which is something that is sad. Smart but sad. Sometimes he can stave it off long enough for it to pass and for him not to have one, which is good, so I give him as much space and time as he needs.
