Bear is panting hard in his crate.
Bear is panting hard in his crate. He's been doing that a lot lately. We mentioned it to his vet when she returned our call about his seizure meds, but she said it could just be side effects from his medications. She didn't seem very concerned.
But the thing is, I only notice it at night and when he's crated. I'm starting to think it's anxiety. He's had a few seizures in there and he also got his paw pinched that time. Maybe he no longer feels safe in there. I don't know. I don't think it has anything to do with being separated from us because he's pretty independent. He sleeps away from us frequently by choice.
We only have 10 more days until we can start to wean him off of his sedatives, so then he'll just be back to his seizure meds. I guess we'll know definitively then if that was causing him to pant. I just hate to think he's feeling anxious or uncomfortable. 🙁 Poor booger.

Bear is only supposed to be walking for 2 more weeks, but he got a little zoomie. I guess holes are exciting dog business. 😂
Cub said "Don't dig my hole!" 😂😂😂
I'm working on my nail polish database today.
I'm working on my nail polish database today. I have a goal to get everything added by the end of July so I can be done researching info on polishes and being exposed to more I want to buy...
Anyway, no one is allowed to touch my polish. You want your nails done, I'll do it. But they're not toys and everyone knows not to touch them. Most are in pristine condition, and the ones that have boxes are still boxed. No touchy.
Except for Bear. Bear knows very little, I believe. 😂 So I was in the floor organizing a few polishes earlier and he comes over with his big feet and steps in my drawer and starts rummaging around.
Why am I like "What are you doing with your cheese lips? (I gave him a licky mat with cheese spread on it to distract him. It didn't last long.) Ooh, yes, you have excellent taste! (As he picks one up and drops it back in the drawer.) I like that one, too. (As he takes one away to probably chew on it. [We didn't let him.])"
I love this dog so dang much. He just melts me. I'm definitely the soft parent when it comes to him. When I had my pack I was the only adult in the house so I had to be the tough parent, but there is something about Bear. 😂 I let him walk off with my nail polish, so you know he's got me wrapped around his paw. He's just so sweet. He wants to help with everything I'm doing and it's so hard to not let him feel involved. Thank goodness for Shaun. He gently keeps Bear out of trouble when I have my too-soft moments.
Spent some time with the upstairs cats today.
Spent some time with the upstairs cats today. APPARENTLY, Balthazar is using the litter box again. Not consistently, but he's doing it by his own choice and without any pressure/direction from me.
Weird. I'm SO NOT complaining, but in all of the years I've shared my life with cats I've never had this happen before.
Maybe somehow his infected fangs were messing with his stomach?
