I am over at my dad's house and I'm dog sitting. It is always an interesting adventure when I dog sit. We all know this! This morning it starting out easy with just letting the dogs outside cleaning up messes, and filling up the dog food bowls. Actually, it wasn't that easy, I had to open up one of the cans and...that wasn't easy because my dad's can opener is just weird and my can opener I have is just really difficult. But, I managed so it wasn't that bad. Then after letting all the dogs in was when chaos happened. One of the dogs gets canned dog food plus a cup of kibble because he doesn't have that many teeth left and needs softer food. But since it is had the soft food in the bowl the other dogs like to go after it. I can't close the gate because they have to get out of the hallway where the door is to make it to their bowls. So I have to shoo them off. In the midst of that, the tiniest dog starts to get into a fight with the biggest dog so I have to break that off. Then the dog who has been having seizures is trying to eat out of the dog food bowl that had the soft food. And she gets angry when the dog tries to go after his food bowl and I tried to softly move her out so she didn't freak out. She moves and I close the gate so the big dogs do not get out. This dog starts to sneeze and it spooks another dog that isn't all the way there in her head and she attacks. The two get into a little bit of the fight. This excites the dog way to much and she goes into a seizure. I am freaking out because I am in the gate and I cannot unlock it. I finally manage to get out and I go to the ground (which isn't easy with my knees) and I clear the way and wait until she comes to. Within a few seconds she does. I pet her until she gets up and walks. then I have to go back to the big dogs because one likes to steal the other dog's food. The biggest dog ended up eating his food too fast and vomits and the other one is so skiddish with what all was happening he is also blind and cannot find his dog food bowl again and panics but I lead him to it. Finally they both calm down and eat and I go out and wash my hands and fine the dog that has seizures and she is still a little disoriented. I have never had to handle a dog going through a seizure before, it was such a scary sight to see. I just want to get some breakfast myself and take a small nap if I can.
