We heart schnauzers.

Our dog Jake has been known to have his issues. At a year old, he got hit by a car. At three years old, he fell through the ice on the red river and somehow pulled himself out after a few minutes of paddling. Now, at almost 4 years old we have come to another one. Two days ago, Jake started suffering from mild seizures. After a few during the day, he had two major ones, lasting a minute or so throughout the night. It was scary.

Yesterday morning, I took him to the vet to get checked out, somewhat expecting the worst since again, he has been known to have his issues. After blood tests & a series of others, it has been determined that Jake is epileptic, which apparently is quite common for dogs. It can be controlled with medication and hopefully the seizures will stop. We have gone over 24 hours now without one so here's hoping we don't have another as they are no fun for anyone...especially the pup.

So, in honor of the one we call Jake, Jakey, Jacob, Jacobi, Bub, Bubaloo, Pup, Puppy, Poop, Pooper, Poopaloo, Schnauz, Schnauzer, Schnauzy, The Black Devil, The Professor...a look back...







It is amazing how a pet truly becomes part of your family. What a privileged it is to have him here with us. Just like our little man, he makes everything better.
