He turned back towards me, but wasn't looking at me, and he's the one who always is locked on the eyes of the food giver. Next thing, he falls over on his side and is convulsing and crying. Talk about a sucky & helpless feeling. Within 10 minutes he was back to normal.

So, at 10pm, off we go to the emergency vet. Luckily there's one less than 2 miles away. No real diagnosis other than watch and wait. I talked to our normal vet this morning, and he offered the same advice. It could have been an acute pain in his back, or it could be a seizure. If it's a seizure, it could be a random event, or it could be the start of trouble. So ... we wait. Damn good thing I'm going to be home for a few weeks.

I swear I've never had animals with this many problems. I wonder if their former owner did ANYTHING to really care for them.

Time to finish painting the living room. It'll ease my mind for awhile. Everyone enjoy the day.
Hope he turns out to be fine.

So I made the payment...I have to wait 24 hours for it to go thru the billing company...and another 24 hours for it to get to the insurance company and be reactivated!

So i picked up my mail on the way in and the cancellation notice is in the mail!!

I am really pissed off that they took 20 days to notify me!!

If it had been an emergency and I had been denied services...I would have one hell of a law suit!
Not only does it make you mad, also concerned if something serious had happened.

I like that house. Is it the Sante Fe style?

Living room is finally painted, and the touch-ups in the master bedroom are complete. I want to do a little yard work, then I get to take on the other two bedrooms upstairs. I'll have to take a few pics and post them. We really love the color.
