Few Words Wednesday

I took Shyla for a little hike yesterday morning, hoping to catch the sunrise light together and to see the moonset over the mountains. The clouds obscured both the sunrise and the moonset. However, the sun came out a little later.

Shyla was very low energy - "mellow" might be a positive way to describe her.

She can start to doze off in an instant.

And standing in this spot was a challenge to her balance. It's a rocky spot on the trail that she usually sprints over.

After these side effects pass, I'll never again take her pure athletic talent for granted. I took these two photos shortly before she started the phenobarbital. She was 2-3' above the ground in the next photo.

She landed with complete control and strength.
I know that she'll be back close to normal after this phase passes. In the meantime, we'll enjoy our sweet little strolls. We all love our Shyla.

  7. KB, Shyla does look out of it, but I'm thankful the Pheno is helping keep the seizures away. My mom always took it when I was little, for anxiety and when I was grown she said she used to give me some to help me sleep at night....oh boy, we've come a long way in healthy living. Sending you big hugs today.

  12. The eyes are the real window into the soul and you sure can see a difference. Hopefully once her levels balance out, she'll look less 'stoned.' Fingers and paws crossed.

  23. She looks sleepy in those first photos, and her eyes just don't have the brightness that they do in the last ones. She will be back to her bright-eyed and active self soon, we're sure of it!
