Update.
Got home about an hour ago and took my dog and our lil house guest out for a walk and ran into our neighbor two doors down who ID’d the old lady. He knew her name that matched her tags. Says there’s an old guy who she follows around who lives in a building a few blocks away but didn’t know the unit. It’s too late to knock on doors tonight but I’m excited to go knocking on doors in that building looking for Robert first thing in the morning. Fingers crossed we can reunite them and make that guys day.

Maybe you can just treat the seizures w meds, instead of trying to find the root cause for them. You could pay for the MRI, and they could tell you, "yep, you're dog's epileptic. Here are the meds."Love this thread.
Got a question for everyone about mild epilepsy.
My buddy Coho had a couple of seizures, one on the 2nd and another on the 11th, nothing since.
We took him to the vet after his first after totally freaking us out. Fortunately, both only lasted 1 minute or less.
The vet told us it is not entirely uncommon, especially with his breed (herding).
He is in A-1 excellent health and shape.
The vet referred us to a specialist down in Ventura for a possible MRI (starting at $4000) because he couldn't find anything causing the seizures.
Anyone have similar experiences?
That's what we ended up doing.
If the seizures stop after a year, we can discontinue the meds.
And yes, we were worried the specialist was going to brow beat us into doing the MRI before prescribing medication. Thankfully, it didn't come to that.
Reunited! And it feels so good.
Her owner was an old single retiree on a fixed income in section 8 housing a couple blocks over. He said he gave up hope and threw out her bed this morning. He started crying and said he had nothing to give me for a reward. I told him his smile was a reward money can’t buy and I’m just happy to do what I hope others would do for my dog.
I got his current number so I’m going to go over to petsmart and get her a new collar with new tags and his current number on it. He told me the number on her tag is 8yrs old. I’ll bring it over tomorrow with one of Pickles old beds for her. Then I’m gonna offer to take him to get her chip scanned again and help him properly register it.
Last leg of their journey. Fantastic service really. Text and photo updates 3x per day (they’re in Kansas now and plans to make Denver later this evening)
the dogs seem to be taking it all way better than I expected

Maybe I should look into long haul pet transport as my new career now that I’m being replaced by AI?
This guy seemed happy with his career. He’s his own boss. Has a partner. He said it’s like being paid to be a traveling retiree lol. With dogs. you gotta love long haul driving of course. But you get to roam around the country and hang out with dogs and get paid. He does about 12 hours a day.
Does a lot of rescue transport. Breeder transport. He said it’s fun picking up a litter of puppies then literally delivering them one by one around the country. Like being Santa Claus.
For every sorry schmuck like me sending off his pets in a divorce think of all of the joy every time he delivers a rescue or a puppy to their new family.

I did the "let me see the dog" thing twice with my ex. One was while we were still sort of parting ways, the other was shortly after. She was the best dog I ever had, and I still get sentimental when I see one like her (pretty rare), but losing the dog was totally worth it.
The ex I was talking about was a psychopath.
If I was gonna ask to do that, might as well ask to go be a ski instructor or lifty for the winter. Neither would fly.
Little bro arrived yesterday... Panda.
My tough guy guard dog is scared of flying insects. He had just gotten buzzed by a bug when I snapped this first picture.
