Trash Boy…the Saga Continues!

Everything has been going great with Topaz lately. No seizures since that last one in September, which is awesome!

He’s been hyper as hell, so I’ve kind of been on the watch for a seizure, but nothing so far…knock on wood and cross everything!

So..the reason for the blog.

SOMEHOW, Mr Topaz did some Houdini move and got out of his cage. Now, mind you, his cage is basically a gigantic cat carrier and there is really NO WAY he could have gotten out unless the door was improperly latched.

I didn’t lock him up when we left, so I don’t know what happened, but I have been assured that the door was properly shut and he was secured in the cage.

Uh-huh…whatever.

So how did he get out then?

Right…I don’t know either.

Anyway…I eat dinner in here most nights and there is food in the trash can in here, plus there are boxes from snacks.

Well you know this garbage hound just couldn’t resist all of the yummy trash smells so he ate everything he could get his grubby paws and mouth on and licked everything else clean.

I know FOR SURE that he ate leftover greek salad…which consisted of lettuce, chick peas (which I just Googled and are ok!) and feta cheese. Plus the dressing. – good thing I don’t like onions! He ate a 1/2 box of Costco sized Cheeze-Its, pickles, I think some almond cheese from Olga’s…and I really don’t know what else. Oh, BBQ chips.

He spent a long time outside while the husband and I cleaned the room up and then when he came in he drank a bunch of water…which he DOES NOT normally do.

But he’s been ok…it’s been a few hours.

I gave him 2 gr of PB (3/4 gr more than normal) and a Valium (we have pill form Valium, not liquid) and I will make sure he sleeps with us IN the bed if possible…and pray that this passes without a hitch.

We’ve been lucky with his garbage hound ways in the past…it’s just been a long time since we’ve dealt with this!

Anyway…so that’s my update. Just wanted to document and all.

Garbage Surfing AGAIN!!!

Well, Topaz got into the trash again today. I guess it was from one room to the next with even some kitty food cans IN THE BED!!! Ugh.

Little brat probably hopped off the bed shortly after I left this afternoon to check and see if I forgot to lock the garbage can in the kitchen...and well, I did.

The only bad thing in there, I think, was marinara sauce....well and gum. I think he'd leave the gum alone with all the other yumminess in there.

Hopefully this will not trigger anything, he's gone 125 days with no seizures and we'd like to keep it that way!!

PB Level and Garbage AGAIN!!!

The vet called this afternoon and Topaz's PB level is normal, which is good.

And my husband and I went to get cat food and also to pick up dinner and we were maybe gone an hour. We come home to nasty, stinky trash from one end of the house to the other!!! GRRRR

The new locking garbage can wasn't locked. Ugh....we're a bunch of dumb asses.

Anyways...so he got into the trash again. Lovely.

PB Level Check Today...and more Garbage! Ugh!!

We took Puppa to the vet to get his PB levels checked. They also are doing some other routine labwork. The vet tech dude asked us about vaccinations. I really need to call the other vets we used and see if he actually got vaccs somewhere else. Now that I think about it, I think he has.

He also got into the trash in the computer room and also ate the cat food...little shit that he is!!! Ugh, he's BAD!!!

Anyways...still no seizures! Woo hoo!

Garbage Hound

We went to dinner last night and then went to a couple of stores and came home to the garbage can on its side and garbage strewn from the front door to the back door and everywhere in between. What a lovely mess!

Anyways...that's the 3rd time this month Topaz has gotten into the garbage.

And he threw up again yesterday morning.

But...no seizure activity...which is lovely.
