I'm not very focused this morning on what I'm going to do today. Last evening was a barn dance up the road. I was planning on attending and about the time I should have been getting ready and leaving, Kita started acting weird..wanting to go out, then not going, tugging on her leash, chewing her leash, pawing at me, not willing to play with toys, on and off the bed, wouldn't lay down. Finally I thought that even though I felt okay at the time maybe she was trying to alert me to a pending seizure. I decided to stay home. I got ready for bed and after I climbed in, I read for a while. Sometimes waves of stuff would pass through my brain. Because I was already still and not trying to do much of anything, they were fairly easy to manage, and I had no problems, Had I been trying to walk a mile up the hill in the dusk, or dance, it might have been quite different. I think she was aware and trying to alert me. I hope we can evolve a more clearly defined signal. My son from California was here for a very brief visit in conjunction with a business trip. Kita went with us to some of his meetings, to restaurants, and around on some properties he wanted to see, and was very well behaved and helped me a bit as needed. Her restaurant behavior is 100% what I want. Now to get the cat sightings down to a manageable level. Jo
