its so sad

[ElementalAtHeart]

At least they both seem to have the same response time to the stimulus of play...wouldn't it stink if one passed out while to other still wanted to play?

And this is vaccine side effects? In Norway, a country with few citizens, at least 19 children and 4 adults developed sleep disorder narcolepsy after being vaccinated with Pandemrix. Next week experts across Europe will discuss the relationship between narcolepsy and the swine flu vaccine.

Oh yes, of course, sick people and animals are good business for Big Pharma.

Is the narcolepsy in these dogs induced, like a gen mutation, for study or are these natural occurances?

@a16ozsoda hey dude, thanks for the explanation, and congratulations for the humour you use to face the situation!...

This is cataplexy (most narcs do not have, I do). Easiest explanation- when you have a nightmare your mind kicks out a chem to your nervous sys so you don't jump up and run to avoid the boogy man or whatever. My mind doesn't recognize being awake so this sort of stimuli (anger, fear, laughter) induces chemical and I lose complete nervous sys in an instant. BAM! straight to the floor face first. Usually more entertaining then the actual punchline lol
