*************************   W elcome to my 9th Annual FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Purple Day® Blog Hop & Media Share ! For those who may be new to this annual event or to this site, I began my own personal journey living and caring for a dog with epilepsy (Epi-dog), my beloved Gibson, back in 2009 shortly after his third birthday. After a series of grand mal and cluster seizures that had me rushing Gibson to an ER after hours (because these things always seem to happen late at night). Thankfully, he survived the ER visit and after much testing, he was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy (or no known cause). I have written much about our journey, our education, and even pages from my journal that you can find on my site HERE . Inspired by Gibson and his zest for life, I created the free #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Online Resource Library that contains much vetted information to help others on their journey. *************************** Be sure to read all of our Canin
