Today was a day of sitting and listening. We received a lot of information on grooming, medical, toys, and health care for our dog. We learned about what brushes were best for each dog, what toys for different chewers, flea and tick control, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, clipping nails, bathing, as well as heart worm medication, etc.
We talked more on seizures. One of the boys in the class had a seizure and his dog barked and sniffed him. Henna had about 7 seizures while she was sitting on the couch. Sno was interested and sniffed a little. Henna then lay on the floor and Sno started to lick her mouth and ears nonstop. Sno also started rubbing herself up against Henna's head, like dogs do when they roll on a dead animal to mask a scent. Jeremy said this was because of the scent Henna was emitting. Henna ended up having a seizure 5 minutes later. Go Snoball!!! Henna had so many seizures that Jeremy said the air was full of the scent. He thinks what will happen is that Snoball will weed out the smaller seizures and alert for the bigger ones. We'll take anything! Another dog was all over her boy yesterday and also today. The dogs are doing well and getting better with each day.
Snoball is one of the more active dogs in the class and does get bored and restless. She is up and down and constantly stealing her neighbor's toys. She doesn't think her toys are good enough even though they are basically the same. Silly girl. She does love to run when she gets a break.
We enjoyed watching Minnie Pearl do her hearing work, as you can see in the video. Tomorrow is another day at the mall.
