PERSONAL: Shayna the Wonder Dog Struggles on...

[click photos to enlarge] Not long to go for our dear family dog of 17 years, Shayna Punim the Wonder Dog (Shayna for short; "Shayna Punim" is Yiddish for "Pretty Face"). She gave us a scare yesterday 3/17/2013. We take her out front every day to sniff the lawn and walk on leash around the cul de sac. Sue called me on my cell from this walk to let me know that Shayna just had a seizure and could not even stand, much less walk. I came out there and confirmed what Sue told me, then carried her to the backyard near her doghouse. It seemed that tomorrow would be the day we make the sad trip to the vet. However, she defiantly told us NOT YET! After a few hours of seeming to sink into oblivion, she made a recovery and now seems about the same as before the seizure. 

Anyways, she lives to fight another day! Above is a sweet photo that I took of her after her seisure - she still looks pretty good, but is VERY skinny.
