Hi there, I am a newbie

Welcome! I know I have lost some friends when I told them about my seizures. I know they weren't really friends...my real friends stay with me through thick and thin.

I have a border collie mix who 'owns' me. She follows me all over the place. I'm sure she would sense if anything was wrong like a seizure. She is extremely protective during our walks. Lawn ornaments, trash bags that crinkle, gnome statues, joggers, strangers....you name it, she's highly attentive about it.

If I leave the room, she's right behind me. It's a consolation to have a great friend and companion like this. I think the reduction in stress around her has prevented seizures.

And, she was from the pound. I think she initially thought my place was just another foster home. Now she is in charge.

Spoken like a well trained owner! I'll take a cold nose and a tail, any day!!

I agree with that one. Honey also came from the pound and she didn't know at first what her "job" was going to end up being. LOL. She quickly learned that her main goal was to take care of me. She stills rolls in the grass and has a good ole time, but she also tells me when I'm going to have a seizure before I even know it. It is amazing how animals know things like that. When she starts pacing and stays around me, I know to get to a safe spot. It is remarkable to have such a wonderful friend. :woot:
