Spartacus had a seizure this weekend. First in 9 or 10 months. He's been acting weird leading up to that, and crawling under my roommates bed a lot. That might just be because it's really cool under there and it's starting to warm up, but not sure. I think it might have been from him not drinking enough water, so I've been trying to stand in the kitchen while he eats and drinks so he gets enough. Ugh. Stupid fucking seizures.

Yeah, there's medicine. Same shit they put humans on, but it's really rough on your liver. We put him on it for about a month, and he didn't have anymore seizures, at least that I was home for, so the vet said let's not keep him on it if the seizures are few and far between.

So my roommate's family dog may be moving in with us. His sister is moving to Florida for college, and his mom is moving to DC where his dad lives for work. They're going to have a small apartment, and not much room for a lab. So he brought her over last night, and Spartacus is PISSED. I still can't deal with how much he is terrified of other dogs, and just doesn't want anything to do with them. Her name is Bella (fucking ugggggggggggggggggggggh) and she's 8 and the chillest lab I've ever met. She doesn't give a fuck about Spartacus. Didn't even look at him. She wanted to find a corner and chew on a bone.

It seems to be going ok! Bella hangs out with Jake, Spartacus hangs out with me. Bella doesn't want to play with Spartacus or anything. Only thing is I need to keep his food put away. Usually I leave his bowls out because he snacks during the day, but she will go in there and eat it up. I am mostly concerned about the first day he and I are both at work. I have a feeling she will stay curled up in his room, and Spartacus will be hanging on the couch/my bed.

Cool and maybe put out a sweatshirt or something extra to make him feel extra-special.
I know you're giving him lots of cuddles when you two are together.
Just found out today that the vet that's been treating Patch and Stitch since we adopted them is cutting back his hours, taking on an associate who will take the lead in the practice and renaming the practice. Not a big deal. Hope the associate is as good, though.Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs!
