This guy was VERY shy. Every time I went out to get a photo, he flew off.

The last couple of weeks have been filled with drama-llama-ding-dong. The cherry on top was waking up early Monday morning to Harriet having a grand mal seizure. As far as I know, she’s never had one before. Hopefully it will turn out to be an isolated incident. It’s likely though, since she’s an old dog, that it was caused by a brain tumor. If so, she’ll have more seizures, and they will get progressively worse and more frequent as the tumor grows. For now, since we don’t know what’s going on, we’re in “wait and see” mode.

You would not know that anything had happened judging by Harriet, though. Within half a minute of the seizure, she was up and asking to go outside, and then she came in and demanded breakfast.
