Sunset and Silhouette Sunday

Our spectacular sunsets have been few and far between recently. One evening this week, we walked to our sunset viewpoint, and we walked away, thinking that it was not a colorful one. Fortunately, about 5 minutes later, I looked over my shoulder to see a fiery glow on the western horizon!

We hustled back and enjoyed watching the end of the sunset.

It truly did look like fire in the sky. And, my favorite bird singer - a hermit thrush - was singing nearby during the sunset. Perfection...

Some of you know how much I love taking photos of dog silhouettes against a colorful sky. Shyla is my usual model but she was out of commission for a long time until, finally, I felt that the clumsiness side effect of the phenobarbital medicine had passed. It was wonderful to have Shyla do her silhouette routine again! All that I have to do is point at the rock, and she eagerly scales it to pose for me.
I think that the phenobarbital-keppra combination is going to work for Shyla. She is still improving in terms of side effects, and she hasn't had a single seizure since adding the phenobarb. I feel hopeful that we will be among the lucky fraction of epilepsy cases where the seizures can be controlled. I am so grateful for that.

Happy Sunday!

    I hope she will continue to do well. Seizures must be so scary for a dog and for their human as well. It would be wonderful if they are now in the past. She makes a beautiful model agains that gorgeous sky.

    As the pawrent of an Epi-Warrior, I know how much it means when you find a remedy that keeps the monster at bay. We are on phenobarbital too with CBD oil. So far (fingers and paws crossed) both Shyla and Elsa continue to stay seizure free.
    P.S. Gorgeous sunsets!!
