It started on Sunday night. Just had to stay up and watch the Hogs play baseball. Then Monday night they lost and have been sent home from the CWS.
Now it is Tuesday morning and I think Watson has a little bit of a no sleep hangover.
No real interest in getting out of bed. Going to take a few to get over this Razorback loss.
Oh those lazy, hazy days of summer are just around the corner. Watson is getting prepared. Sunday has been a beautiful day in our little spot of the universe , and quoting William Shakespeare, “the earth has music for those who listen”. Watson and I listened today.
Watson started the day with robust energy. The problem he is having is that the duck is dead. No, we do not have a real duck. But he has a few of the type you find at Petco.
This one was his favorite. He is the one that shook it to death. But for some reason he looks to me for an explanation. – Can you please fix this problem?? – No, Watson, this duck has brain damage and you slit his throat. – What?
Guess we could pick some flowers for the memorial.
Watson’s first summer was very exhausting. He could fall asleep anytime and anywhere! 
Wednesday finds Watson a little annoyed with me. Last week was not a fun week for our boy. Had to visit the neurologist about his brain. Which, in case you are wondering, does exist and I have seen the pictures! Watson has been having seizures and last Tuesday he have a bad one, so they decided to do an MRI and a spinal tap. I was worried that his little brain was going to be eaten up with cancer or cyst. Or maybe he had meningitis. But, no brain damage that is visible, no tumor, no evidence of stroke and no inflammation in the spinal fluid. The boys brain looks good folks, but as a result of his last round of seizures, his eyesight was affected. Blind. But slowly it is coming back. Seems sometimes they get nerve damage to the optical nerve. So, everyday I am poking my finger at him, hoping for a blink. Well, he is blinking and he is tired of me trying to poke his eye out. Seriously annoyed. So now instead of 2 , Watson is on 3 different meds to control these seizures. Been hard on my heart!
The shaved leg for his IV has started to itch..looks like a poodle cut to me.
You can see how his back was shaved for the spinal tap. 
God knew this boy was going to need help. God also knew I would take care of him. We were meant to be together.
