My foster mom told me I am no longer on the adoption website. I saw her crying. I think she is upset because more and more I see these little rainbow-color flying insects. I think they must be little moths or tiny butterflies... and I just want to catch them. I never do. They always fly off. But I snap at them. Some days I see them more, and other days not so much.
My foster mother has tried to distract me from them. She'll clap, or give me a chewy, or other things. Sometimes this helps and I stop looking at them and snapping. Other times, they are so beautiful I cannot pull myself away. I cannot stop. She'll even hold onto my collar, but I want them too much...
She has been talking with veterinarians trying to figure this thing out. Why do the butterflies like me? What is so special about me? Well, I think all of you reading this know that everything is special about me. For one I'm a sheltie, and two, I'm the fastest and happiest dog in the world. And I have this thing called (OCD) Overly Cute Disorder. So I do these really cute things a lot.
I will write more about this when my foster mother learns more. So far there's no clear answers. Some veterinarians tell her that I have something called partial or temporal lobe seizures (whatever the heck that is?!), and others say it's a behavioral thing (duh! It's a behavioral thing because butterflies love me and I just want to catch them!!!).

I deleted my comment, because I saw one of your responses. I just wanted to say I hope your foster Mom finds out about those darn butterflies flying around all the time.
Thank you for reading and writing. Quite honestly I don't mind the butterflies because they are so lovely to look at. But I know this worries and upsets my foster mother. She's trying to find answers, but there's nothing clear or definitive.
Hi Clover:
Well, I think you must be special to have special butterflies. My Mom-Lady said that only special doggies get butterflies...but she says I'm special without butterflies cuz I'm a conehead. Mom-lady said I might get my conehead off this weekends cuz I'm a good boy and I don't scritchy-scratch too much now.
Sigh. I miss you Clover. I want to go to Central Bark and plays with you. Mom-Lady said to tell you that I'm less of a man-doggy so I might play a little better.
Love you Clover,
Ridder-pups.
Hi Ridley,
I don't think I'd want to trade butterflies for a conehead. I hope you get that thing off soon because you look really funny with it on. We have new sheltie here today. She's sweet as candy (that's a little hint about her name!). And sooooo smart. She can do more tricks then me and Jazzy!
BTW, You must visit Toby's Tale!

It's epilepsy. And if it is happening more often than once per month, she needs to be on medication for it. Seizures beget seizures, so the more she has the more likely she will have more. Each seizure makes it easier for the brain to fall back into that pattern of seizing. Please find a vet that will prescribe the appropriate medication before this gets any worse.
