So it just took a dump?

Something got corrupted in it somewhere. The script took quite awhile to run.

Messed up. Looking at the New Posts above from the navigation, the last post from yesterday was Muddy at around 9 pm EST, so I'm guessing not too long after that's when the issues started.

Thanks for unplugging and plugging it back in Lance.

Update on Thor. We took him to the neurologist on Friday and the visit went well. She did a really comprehensive exam and didn't think it was anything like a tumor (although that couldn't be ruled out completely). She seemed positive that we can get the seizures back under control with medication. She increased the dosage on one of the meds he's already on, but this particular med can affect the liver, so we have to have a blood test done in about 10 days to make sure that everything is okay. She thought that part of the problem might be that since he's been on medication for awhile now, he may be metabolizing the current dosage more now and has built up a tolerance to it. So, she increased that and said that if that doesn't help, there's another med that can be added as well. So we're fairly hopeful going forward.

She did say that him going from having the seizures as often as he did to none for 13 months was kind of an anomaly and that is rather uncommon and told us that we shouldn't expect that again. But she did say that she was hopeful that we could get it down to 2 to 3 per year, which would be fine especially since in every other way, Thor is fine and a happy dog. So we're just glad that as of now, it doesn't seem like he's getting worse or there's some other major underlying thing that is getting worse, and that we can get these back under control.

Many thanks for the update, Lance. That's great news and we all love our furry companions and we do our best to make them comfortable.

Are you trying to grow grass or just trying to cut down on dust dirt entering the house?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Cut down on dirt/mud/dust depending on the weather. Keeping grass in the yard with 4 dogs is a losing battle. Plus, we've been in a fight with the yard since we bout the house. Because the house was empty for about 18 months before we bought it, plus the prior owners obviously didn't take care of the yard, it had become overgrown with nothing but weeds and crab grass. We finally got most of the weeds killed off a few years ago and try and keep up on the new ones, but we haven't had the time or money to really redo the back yard the way we want, so we're just trying to keep the dirt covered up as much as possible.
