I just got off work and got some ice water. Bear and Cub were sleeping in the living room. Bear heard the ice dispenser and woke up so fast. He ran to the kitchen and drifted around the table. He was definitely excited and roared a little bit, but he didn't bite me this time. He is learning.

Any kind of rumbling sound seems to get him hype. Wheelbarrow being moved, trash can / recycle bin being moved, anything like that. Maybe it sounds too much like a herd running. 😂

He's such a weird guy. He doesn't bark at things, really. He's not super cuddly, but will come through every time he enters the room to greet me / give me kisses. He still prefers to sleep on the floor over the couch. He roars when things excite him and growls when he wants to play. He LOVES shoes and will try to sneak them away or off of you.

We've noticed he doesn't bend his back legs unless necessary. He rarely sits unless it's to get into a laying position. He's very front heavy and if he doesn't eat from a raised dish will often fall on his face.

He is a whole mess, but a sweet one.

He's being seen tomorrow so we can hopefully get a surgery consult on his knees and talk to his doctor about his seizures starting back.

Y'all ever wake up exclaiming with the dog?

I must not have been deep in sleep. Me and Cub heard a noise outside. He jumped up barking while I simultaneously sat up and said (far too loudly for it being the middle of the night) "What?!" 😂😂😂

We woke poor Shaun up. We caught the noise on camera, but don't know what it was. We just know it wasn't Bear.

Good luck to me on getting back to sleep. 😂

Y'all. The weather is nice, so the sunroom door is open.

For the 3rd time in the past 30 minutes Bear has walked into the doggie door, which is blocked by the stationary glass pane of the door. After he bounces off he proceeds to walk out through the open sunroom door.

We really didn't foresee that being a problem, but I guess this boy does better with consistency.

This Booger napped with his donkey today.

This Booger napped with his donkey today. It's cold and wet and gross outside.

I'm off work and ready to snuggle in, too. We're picking up his seizure meds first, though.

It's been a long week. I'm ready to get cozy and comfy and chill with Shaun and the ani-pals. Hopefully this weekend will be chill and I can catch up on my rest.

Door upgrade!

Look at that sweet boy showing off his accessible door! 😊❤️

We got it huge on purpose because you never know who I'm gonna move in. 😂😂😂

We tried those door inserts like you can get from Lowe's and Home Depot that just sit in the door frame with a pet flap at the bottom. We returned it after about 2 days. Shaun could barely fit through the door sideways with the insert in there. Forget taking out the trash or anything with almost half of the open space used like that. It just wasn't pleasant and made life harder. Since Bear is a family member now, we thought that a more permanent solution was in order.

Having the custom glass made was more expensive, but worth it. Now we can close the sunroom again since it's not as weatherproof as the rest of the house. There is a panel we can use to lock the pet flap if we need to. We can all use the door. Humans can slide it fully open, and the dogs, cats, and even the tortoise can use the flap.

It was also really easy to change the glass out ourselves. I never knew that was a thing you could do before we decided to do this, but you definitely can. There is a YouTube video showing you how. It's pretty neat. I'll have Shaun share the link with me if anyone needs / wants it.

Y'all ever been a whole ass adult...

Y'all ever been a whole ass adult and ate so much candy for breakfast you upset your stomach?

In my defense I've been at meetings since 7 this morning and haven't had time to make food. I've been sat at my desk snacking on whatever is around for the last 3 hours. Ugh.

Happy Friday, though! ❤️

Aww. Bear just had a seizure.

Aww. Bear just had a seizure. He finished his seizure meds about a week ago. His Heartworm prevention meds from February 1st should be out of his system by now, so I don't think that is what is causing them.

Guess we're getting his seizure meds refilled tomorrow. 🙁

Poor boy. He seems super disoriented right now. That was scary to witness. I'm glad we could be here with him through it, despite him not seeming to take much comfort in that.
