If this article helps one seizure hound get a home, then the article was a success. Well Jan, I’m so glad I could help you understand more about seizures.

Believe it or not, she was shy and reserved, which she could be around people she didn't know well. She was much more open on line than in person back then. When she adopted Bebe she found her heart dog. She and Bebe were so much alike and it was the perfect match. I think Bebe brought the "real" Trish out and Trish brought the "real" Bebe out. She had the biggest heart of any one I know and wanted to do so much that her body just wouldn't allow. When the time came for Flippy to come home she called and asked if I'd take the trip with her. I talked Mike into going because when it comes to a sense of direction, I have none. What a trip. Poor Trish, stuck in the back of the truck with Bebe, Peatie, and big old clumsy Saint. Every time we would stop at a fast food restaurant, Saint would head for the window right by Trish and I would look back and see Trish's head, under Saint's belly. He's a huge hound and she would be laughing her head off! I remember when she met Adrian, she wrote me and told me all about him and that she thought he was "the one". He was the one, her rock, the one she could depend on at any time. He loves her so and I couldn't use past tense here because he still loves her. The last time I saw Trish was the second weekend after we returned from Sandy Paws. We brought back Purple Peatie for her and she and Adrian came over to pick it up. Knowing she had been having problems with her balance, I put all my hounds away so they wouldn't knock her down when she came in. They would get so excited to see her. What do you think she did...............she walked right into the bedroom to say "hi" and ended letting them all out, and what do you think happened..................she got knocked to the floor and lay there laughing her head off. She brought Jilly Bean the duck she used when she photographed my hounds as a present, she loved Jilly Bean to pieces. I am grateful that I was able to speak to her for a time on the phone the weekend before her passing. I am so grateful that the last words she ever spoke to me were "I love you" and that I had said "I love you" back to her. These are the things that fill my memory now. I miss you my friend.

She was many things to many people. MANY people! That girl knew how to make friends! It's a testament to her impact on them all that they all have so much to say about her, and such a need to say it, to share the Trish that was special to them. She knew how to make each of us feel like her best friend, valued and loved. I wish she could feel it all flowing back to her the way I see it now.

I've been in the midst of doctoral work and very distracted, so this has come as a total shock. She was always so ... positive! .... about life with Adrian and life with the greys. We traded stories and photography of our beloved greyhounds - my Jenny-Goober, and her multitude - and cried on each other's shoulders when things went wrong. The past several months I have been particularly worried for her with the health issues (something to which we could both relate - and complain mightily about!), but she has been so, well, excited about the paths her life has been taking lately, that she seemed to be balancing the bad with the good, something which was a long time coming. More than anything, I am just so glad she enjoyed so much of her life these past couple of years. Adrian has been a rock (she has been promising me that she will bring him to Memphis to meet me one of these days), and she finally found the happiness she deserved, even if it was through a bumpy, rough stretch of road. Eight or so years ago I held her at times more than she stood, I think... but recently? She stood on her own, and I was just so proud of her. ::sob:: I just don't know what else to say. And I keep shifting from past tense to present because this just isn't sinking in. Thanks for posting to LiveJournal, by the way. I am glad to know where to come to at least connect about this. I was going to try to make the memorial service tomorrow in Munford, but I don't think I can do it on my own.

My only experience with seizures was a rabbit I had that occasionaly had seizures.They scared me so much that I thought I could never have a seizure dog. I think now it is something I could handle, and wouldn't automatically reject a dog that has seizures. Thank you so much for writing this.

She gave of herself at all times without regard for recompense of any kind and had a noble and gentle spirit in spite of her body's frailties. She was and is a vibrant, caring, lovely young woman who brought light to many and for whom many of us, myself included, are deeply saddened. May flights of angels speed thee to thy rest dear lady; we will always miss you. “Friends are an aid to the young, to guard them from error; to the elderly, to attend to their wants and to supplement their failing power of action; to those in the prime of life, to assist them to noble deeds.” -Aristotle
