Ed on couch with carrot
Home for lunch, I snapped a picture of Ed (camera-phone; sorry) on the couch enjoying half a carrot. The dogs - all of them, even the colliething - love carrots. Ed had some weird kind of seizure this morning at 4:30am where he woke up compulsively swallowing, licking, and trying to eat everything (Bill thought he was close to vomiting so took him outside; all he did was try to eat dirt), so he was tired at lunch and had to have his post-lunch carrot delivered to the couch. I say 'some kind of seizure' because this has happened before (although not at 4:30am that I can recall) at long intervals in the past, other beagle owners have seen it, and it starts and stops with no warning. Fortunately these 'fits' don't last long and occur infrequently, but getting woken up at 4:30 by a dog you think might be sick in your bed is no pleasant thing. Anyway he seemed the same as he always does at lunch - slow to wake when I got home, but eager enough to join the others in begging for a bit of cantaloupe while I was eating.  ¶ 2:24 PM
