What about ME?

You know, it's always about Molly, isn't it well I don't get it I mean the poor girl did fall down at the vet's office yesterday and was doing a very strange dance and then they scooped her off the floor like the stuff I leave behind when mom leaves the house but I didn't get why mom and I had to sit quietly for so long and wait for Molly to get her medicine and come back because you know I thought I smelled another dog in the waiting room and I kept trying to get out the door of the exam room they put us in and I kept jumping up and down off mom's seat and she just sat there and was sad and cried I wanted to play didn't anyone notice me? Mom was trying to pet me and hug me but I wanted to go play with that other dog I did smell another dog I am a beagle with a very sensitive nose you know. In fact, I can tell you that the other dog got treats before coming to the vet's office and I wanted some too so I don't see why I couldn't go play with that dog I don't get it, do you?

Mom is still sad today so she said I could have a turn with the writing because Molly had a turn yesterday because I was too busy trying to see if I could run through the house without having to make turns that dig my nails into the carpet and I bet I could if mom would move that baby gate that slows me down hey you don't think that is why she put it there do you because I like to run and run in the house because it feels good to run any place and I sure do miss those 3 mile daily walks although  I am enjoying the much shorter ones in the mowed field where mom lets us smell stinky stuff as long as Molly doesn't eat the goose poop. Even I won't touch that, although it does smell interesting and a lot of rabbits and squirrels hang out in that field and it's so exciting sometimes we find a squirrel or rabbit and suddenly take off after it only we are on leashes and mom's arm seems to get longer but most of the time we are real ladies on leash and don't pull but when we smell rabbits and squirrels we are just noses with feet and can't help it.

Mom says I have too much energy and I am like an energizer bunny but I think she means that in a good way don't you? She also says I have two speeds high and off and that I sleep like a corpse because I get so tired from playing so hard all the time well yeah I don't like to be bored but when I stop just sort of zzz fall asleezzzz.

Two weeks ago when we went to the vet and Molly had her second petite mal seizure mom told the vet that she had it sooner in the visit just outside the exam room while the first one had been in the exam room after a few minutes and mom thought the next time (which was yesterday) would end up being worse and sooner in the trip and the vet said not necessarily so but mom asked for something to pre-medicate Molly to try to avoid worse seizures that came sooner and the vet said let's wait and see even though mom very much didn't want to see what did happen and now mom is worried that it will happen in the car next time which would be really dangerous for all of us.

The vet did call the doggie neurologist as she promised who said that Addison's disease does not indicate seizures and did mom understand that although the vet admitted they really don't know for sure as there have definitely been other dogs with the same combination of problems and mom mentioned that it is odd that both started at the same time and the vet said the neurologist, the doggie specialist with lots of years of training said probably the best thing to do is to get something to pre-medicate Molly to hopefully stave off the seizures.

I don't get why mom let out a big sigh when she got off the phone, do you?

Molly just wanted to know if it was time to eat yet it's nice that I don't have to beg for food any more because Molly begs about every three minutes around the clock and I am gaining weight too because mom treats us fairly and I get more stuff too it's great except that mom and the vet decided to cut Molly's prednisone in half again in a few days and that will kill her appetite a bit so I might have to go practice my I am starving look and see if mom starts to fall for it she really isn't all that easy when it comes to giving us extra food but I sure hope I don't ever almost die so I can get more food since I did have such a nice trim little athletic body until Molly got sick maybe I will have it again soon huh do you think so after all I do burn up a lot of calories every day oh look that chair looks comfy I uh forgot um hey it is still comfy and er zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Love,  Baby
