What a truly beautfil girl she has become! Thanks for the new pix. I like the Meg versus the Stuffed Sheep toy photos. One of these weeks she's gonna eviscerate the thing and all that will be left are plush sheep guts all over the floor.

We've been having a tough time of late with our Alsatian who has developed Epilespy. He has progressed just about to Cluster Seizures and we are having serious discussions about when it would be appropriate to put him down. Our Vet is pretty supportive and we have found an online community of people with Epileptic dogs, so we aren't as discouraged as we once were. He still has far more good days than bad and I am soothed by the knowledge that his seizures don't cause him any physical pain. He has both the 'Paddling' Seizures and the 'Chomping' Seizures. He's on both Potassium bromide and Phenobarbital.

Just before I signed on, he and I had a heated match of Canine Football (soccer) and another match of what I call 'Spin The Puppy' in which I tag his bum and he then spins around as fast as he can. When he comes to a stop, I am supposed to run away. He then chases me, nips my clothes and I then tag him on the bum again and the spinning resumes. It's a game of his own invention, I'm afraid, so the rules are not all that clear. All that matters is that it entertains him.

Does Meg yet have games of her invention beyond 'Piddle on the floor'? (which I am sure she's long since outgrown!)

My dog used to play a game we called Posssum/Chicken in which he and I would square off at opposite ends of the driveway and stare at eachother. I'd then creep towards him very slowly whilst he hunkered down on all fours with his ears flat and was invisible. If he broke his invisibility and leaped towards me, I won.. if he stayed invisible until I got right up to him, he won. Again, his rules, so they don't make a great deal of sense. Noawadyas he prefers 'Spin the Puppy' to Possum/Chicken.

I wonder if I've made the dog-diabetics gag yet?

Meg rules!

More Meg!
More Meg!
MORE MEG!
