Finding Balance

Broken-hearted…

Mojo lost his battle to his tail chasing seizure disorder yesterday. He started having major seizures a few weeks back, and things went downhill fast from there. We somehow found the courage to give him relief the only way left that we could. The vet released him from his suffering yesterday afternoon. It went as well as it could have, we managed to give him that much… but now he’s gone and he’s left this huge gaping hole behind. We’re just stumbling around in a daze, so painfully aware of all the places he isn’t.

I went back through this year’s Halloween pics this morning and made this…my last tribute to our brave little broken guy.It just seemed somehow appropriate … he *was* our little superhero.

If you are reading this because this blog came up on a google search for “tail chasing” and you have a Bull Terrier, please go to the Tufts Tail Chasing study page to find out how to participate in the study. They desperately need samples from all Bull Terriers, both normal and affected before they can start the research. If they can find the gene marker, the next step would be developing a screening test…please help.

JBL rocks, but I’m still a Loser

Good news — Joy called JBL to see if there was anything we could do about the speakers and they covered it under the five year warranty even though it was so our own fault. We got the speakers back last weekend, I mounted them back on their wall mounts, stood up, and cracked my head hard against one of them, hard enough to make myself dizzy and nauseous.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t about the third or fourth time I’ve done that….

Been way too busy to catch up here lately, there’s still the matter of the hamsters, my new sort-of promotion at work, and other stuff… maybe when I get caught up a bit…
