Awe, that sucks

I know, I used to raise service dogs for the blind and handicapped. We got a beautiful jetblack Shephard that was said to be a problem dog. He was friendly as any retriever was, and had a great temperment and personality.

What we found out though from observing him, is he was getting seizures, which caused him to turn Mr. Hyde for 1 to 2 minutes, and then they would stop. And once he came out of them, he would be utterly disoriented, and scared, and I would take up to 15 minutes to calm him down, as they frightened him badly.

Of course he was dropped from the program, but a sweet elderly lady took him, and he lived for about 4 years, but after a couple years, you could see the fits were poorly affecting his brain.

But now I have my own pooch, a 5 and 1/2 year old Lab Retriever, who isn't quite black, or chocolate. He's like the color of a dark roasted coffee bean. A real Ferdinand the Bull kinda guy. We did wilderness search and rescue out west in the Rockies, before I had to move back to the Great Lakes area. So now he enjoys going fishing on the boat, but he doesn't like Northern Pike fresh off the hook. They have teeth too! And sharp to boot!
