Don't show this to K'ey. Remember how affraid he got when somebody had shrunk Sherpie in weirdo window. Probably not survive miniSHerp in such a strange mind.
That looks exactly how my Aussie Koolie looks when he has a mini seizure (absence seizure). You have to just talk them back and love on them until they’re present again.
Our late terrier Max suffered from similar "funny turns", we were told they were absence seizures and the slowness was his mind recovering from it. As he got older he started having an occasional full seizures, only one or two a year, until we lost him 6 months ago to heart failure at nearly 15 years old. Talking to him helped him "come back" as well as giving him a small amount of glucose as it took a lot of energy out of him.
Jamie, I have just watched this again, and looking back, Sherpa was lucky to have such a caring Dad. I don't think he would have made it to his 13th birthday if it wasn't for you ❤ x
I live with epilepsy. I have for 35 years. I know exactly how Sherpa is feeling, and having someone who is calm and loving to bring you around, is so important. I can have a seizure if I get worried, stressed, tired, and excited. Also, numbers aren’t good for me, and anything too repetitive like playing cards, for instance. Being supportive and compassionate is the very best thing you can do for Sherpa. 💜 Edit, yes….doing something normal can really help, as when you come out from having your “turn” the world can feel different. So, doing something really familiar can calm that panic it leaves you with.
Often the people who see a fit are the most worried. If you are out all that is usually needed ìs for people not to fall over the unexpected obstacle on the ground. Your first thought might be, "How did I get here?" and take a few minutes to work it out. On the other hand, there are people who are likely to need help but they should have warned their friends in advance.
as a schizoaffective person this works with many types of confusion. can confirm. very well explained, btw. however do not put a confused schizoaffective person around "new people and new smells" on purpose during confusion my brain will do weird things with that excess information lol
It was sad and difficult to watch this video (I own a Huskie) and to hear of your epilepsy. We lost our daughter at the young age of 14 to causes related to her epilepsy. She had struggled with it from age 1. I wish you (and Sherpa, of course) the very best and a long and happy life.
I thought the same thing, I had tears flowing because he reminded me of my dog after he would get seizures, after a few of them my vet put him on human anti-seizure meds and he was fine, my wee dog lived to be 16 yrs old.
I have been avoiding watching this video, for so long. It brings back memories of what one of my labradors, Jack, would do. He would be fine, then all of a sudden he would fall over and have a seizure. The scariest moments of our time with him. His seizures only happened in the last eight months of his life (he lived to 13.5 years). Sherpa did a couple of things that were similar….heavy breathing, slow walk, glazed look….but like our Jack, he finally came back. We had two labs, brothers, Jack and Grissom (who lived to 12) but only Jack had the seizures. I wish you both all the best and I know you are doing what you think is right for your boy, Jamie. Give Sherpa a big hug for me. He is a darling boy and deserves all the love he gets from you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It must have been scary when it first started to happen. It’s really awful to see him struggling to move and relate. You handle it so well; no fear or emotionalism, just gentle action. You’re one of the good ones, Jamie.
It’s great how you talk lovingly and softly to Sherpa when he has a spell. It has to be unnerving for him, but thankfully he has you to calmly guide him back. 🙂
Poor Sherpa he looks so confused but he still realised he was safe and loved. Luckily you seem to have worked out how to bring him back. Sending love to you both, a true loving partnership
@@wank1035 Not sure if OP is guessing, or if it's been more explicitly said in another video, but that's what I was assuming too. It can take a little while for people to fully feel themselves again too after a seizure.
With people these sorts of things are sometimes called 'absence seizures' where they can lose awareness of their surroundings, and maybe freeze, for a moment.
@@shoshiwas I've own Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian huskies for 22 years and I've, Thank God never had a dog with a seizure problem .CBD helps prevent Seizures .
I'm sitting here on the verge of crying after seeing how "blank" Sherpa was at the start of the video. I've watched and enjoyed Sherpa & Jamie's antics for quit a long time and was totally taken aback by the long period of, for lack of a better description, not being in the moment. But you expertly brought him back with patient kindness. Thank you Jamie, for sharing Sherpa with the world.
I have been watching Sherpa for a long time, but never commented on anything. But the first few moments of this video was pretty tough and gut wrenching to watch, and I felt heavy hearted. Take care
When I see an older dog, I see an owner that has laughed 200,00 times, taken 3000 walks, watched in amazement as the dog tries to roll 500 mud holes dry and enough sausages to fill a tractor trailer. A loyal friend that you love more every day. Thanks for sharing.
I’m crying watching how sweet you are to Sherpa. Every pet lover has to deal with their beloved’s health issues. I have a blind and deaf 15 year old terrier. He still loves his life as far as I can tell. Blessings to your whole family.
My dog does that too. Just so long as I don't panic about it, she always comes back into focus again. 💯 Sherpa's a good old boy who just needs a jump start now and again. ❤
@Go Surf coooking it takes out nutrients, its best left raw especially since wolves are dog's ancestors and their digestive tract hasn't changed in the 100 years they've been made to eat processed commercial food.
@@catsatdusk6710 thing is they've eaten processed foods likely 10s of thousands of years due to how close dogs and humans have been. it's also one of the reasons a lot of dogs breeds handle lactate quite well. A dogs diet is a lot closer to a humans diet than wolves, even genetically.
@@DoctorSantaPhD so the likes of cheese, canned foods, dried/smoked/salted foods ect. are all recently invented? Processed are a lot more than TV dinners, but i do agree that highly processed foods are unhealthy for pretty much any living creature. Remember processed foods also include anything you would cook in your kitchen, anything not processed is raw. Dogs can eat nearly the same things as humans, but anything that's unhealthy for humans is also unhealthy for dogs is not a bad rule of thumb.
Crying my eyes out seeing Sherpa so disoriented and not talking. Hats off to you for your patience and care in snapping him out of that state - I cried even harder when he did speak - just from sheer relief! By the way, happy birthday to you Jamie!
The worst for me was when he had a hard time trying to do a "Sherpa High Five"(what I call it). I will always say the only bad thing about owning a dog is that their lives are too short. Even a dog who lives to be "old", say 16, is still waaaaaaay to short. All we can do is try to love them as much as they love us, which is impossible since dogs are the definition of unconditional love, until they take the same trip every dog must over the Rainbow Bridge. Here's to many many more great years with the World Famous and Universally Beloved Sherpa!
🤔 Actually, that's a good idea! Clears the vocal cords. ...... am thinking about this advice for myself...bark at people when recuperating (when they p... me off in my case) and then let my husband explain that I talk a lot 🤣🤣🤣
Sobbing here in TX seeing Sherpa confused like he was. Hearing him talk made me feel so much better, you are just the absolute best doggo Dad. Happy Birthday Jamie!
Won't lie. Grown ass man crying here. You're a good man, Jamie, and Sherpa's a fantastic dog. You are both lucky and blessed to have each other. Take care, both of you!
Hugs Sherpa, and happy birthday Jamie. Must be scary such episodes. But yeah you know best how he is and how to handle it. Good you doing your adventures now together.
The start of the video almost had me crying, just knowing that sherps is there but not *quite*. You're a brilliant dad looking after him how you do, no doubt Sherpa feels safe during those moments as he knows his human will never be too far away ❤️ 💛Happy birthday as well!!!💛
Sherpa, oh bless him, that must have been so scary when you first saw him do that. Nice to see him quickly come back to his loud and boisterous self though. 💜💜💜💜 Happy birthday Jamie 💜💜💜💜
Oh he’s a beauty. You do wonderfully well with him. I’m getting teary watching him. He’s such a good boy. Please give him a hug and a kiss from me. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe.
That has to be so terrifying when Sherpa has his episodes, even if he has them occasionally. At least he was back to being Sherpa in a bit.😊 I can't imagine how much I'd freak out the first time if something like that happened to my dog.😟
Hi Lorna, I basically said the same thing ... they are more of an episode than a deteriorating condition. We should be thankful Jamie knows how to handle it to bring him back from those spells. We are back to winter days here, but you have a great day!
Sherpa we all are getting older i am glad to see you are feeling much better and Jamie you have a 😊 birthday too and i 💘 Scotland. From Athens Georgia 🇺🇸
We had a border collie that used to have occasional seizures. We'd know when he was about to have one because he would come up to you and want to be held. He'd have a seizure and after a few minutes he'd be okay. He was the best, most well mannered dog I've ever had and was my young son's best friend and playmate. He's been gone for over 15 years and I still miss him so much.
The saddest part comes when the owner starts fading in/out. I was trying to go through the names of past pets and drew a blank. At last I was able to visualize them and knew them by sight. At least, so far, I still know the two current dogs. One (the one with cancer) is a big pit bull mix, the other dog is a Jack Russell, she is the younger of the pair. We got her to keep him company many years ago. She has kept all of us on our toes. I hope I can outlive both of them. No one to which to pass them.
@@WhiteStone21475 i wish you all the best!! the pitbull and jack russell must feel so loved to have an owner with such a big heart. it sounds like you are all very lucky to have each other. pets' names may fade from memory, but hey, they probably don't remember yours either. sight and smell is how they knew you too.
Heartbreaking to see our beloved Sherpa go through this 💔 But heartwarming to see how Jamie deals with it. Whatever Sherpa is going through, he knows above everything that his Dad LOVES him 💖 and Sherpa loves his Dad more than anything, even chicken balls, sausage.. anything!
I've never seen Sherp like that before, it was pretty worrying to watch. So glad it's only occasional and you can gently bring him back. Love you Sherpy xo
Oh Sherp boy, love you and you are Ok ! Yes to help him help Himself .... Aww Sherpa is Here ! 💖Talking 😀Happy Birthday to you, Jamie ✨🎉🧁Sherp gave you a nice present.. Him ! 💖🐕Sweet 💖😍
Sherpa is such a beautiful dog and it was sad seeing him go through that turn. Was good to see him back and talking to everybody he met! Sweet boy!❤️. Happy Birthday Jamie!🎂🎉
I myself have had epilepsy for quite a few years now. Its heart breaking to see Sherpa like that. He is very lucky to have someone like you to look after him talking to him and bringing him round and Giving him all the love and attention. I cried when I saw the video of him God bless him xxxx
How scary. I grew up with a poodle that was epileptic and he used to have big seizures. For sure but this one seem to be pretty mild but I'm glad that you know how to take care of it for him. You are such a good Guardian to him. Take care.
I found this quite a sad one to watch as it reminds me so much of one of my dogs, It broke my heart to watch her slowly disappear from me as she got older. You're a good owner Jamie, full respect to you.
Sherpa is a strong boy, and it's heartbreaking to see him so lost when he has an episode. He did a little high five to let you know he still recognized you, though, and came out of it his hungry and talkative self! Hugs to Sherpa, and Happy Birthday 🧁🙂
That made me tearful! But, as Jamie said, Sherpa’s tail did not stop wagging! He is so beautiful, and he and Jamie are unfailingly loving and kind to each other. A great relief when Sherpa began talking again. 💕
As an epileptic, it constantly gets me crying a hurricane seeing dogs, cats, etc with seizures too. Started from petit to grand mal. Love your humanitarian approach for caring. Thanx from Florida.
Just read about Sherpa I am sitting here crying. I look forward every day to see him Jaime you are a great doggie dad. Happy Birthday. Lots and lots of doggie kisses.
@@abrielrobertsson4160 Sherpa had a seizure. Humans who experience bad enough seizures behave very similarly afterwards. Not sure why they keep being referred to as "funny turns". Maybe a British thing?
Bless your heart darling Sherpie - you're the sweetest bestest boy in all the world and you have the dearest most loving papa a boy could ever have ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Happy Birthday Jamie. I started having seizures about 20 years ago, but sometimes I just zone out like Sherpa did then. Sometimes mine last just a couple of mins upto about half hour. Watching this brought tears to my eyes because I know what it's kind of like for him, they can be scary and confusing. Bless him, my thoughts are with him xx
Now we have huskies, who are our first ever dogs, this totally broke my heart seeing him this way. I love the bond you two have and was so happy to hear him talking again ❤️❤️
I didn't realise that I was holding my breath until he spoke to that person and I let out a huge sigh of relief and had to hold back tears!! 😢 so so happy to see him chatting away again to people! And a Happy Birthday to you too Jamie! You are the best doggo dad to Sherpa! 🐺
This was beautiful to watch. He stayed happy even in the midst of his turn, almost like he knew Dad was going to help him. The second you guys got out and started walking and playing with the stick, you could see he was back ❤️ And such a joy when he started talking again! God bless you guys!
I'm glad you have figured out ways to help Sherpa. In every video you show us how much you love him. I love him too and can't wait to see his next videos. Have a great holiday in Scotland and drive safe.
What a wonderful fix for those moments of mental foggyness. I hope you can continue to pull him back. Getting old is scary and im glad he has you there to help him through it. ❤
It looks like he had an absence seizure while on the porch. People who have absence seizures are confused and disoriented for a while afterwards, so that may be what happens with Sherp. You handle his episodes so well, Jamie. P.S.: Happy Birthday, Jamie!
So glad to see he’s feeling better! I nearly got a heart attack when I saw him like that😢😭. Maybe if it happens again you could ask Alexa to snap him out of it😂. Oh, and happy birthday 🎉

Oh Sherp boy, love you and you are Ok ! Yes to help him help Himself .... Aww Sherpa is Here ! 💖Talking 😀Happy Birthday to you, Jamie ✨🎉🧁Sherp gave you a nice present.. Him ! 💖🐕Sweet 💖😍
Sherpa is such a beautiful dog and it was sad seeing him go through that turn. Was good to see him back and talking to everybody he met! Sweet boy!❤️. Happy Birthday Jamie!🎂🎉
it is unfortunate that no life can escape age. Thanks for sharing this part of his life and what you do. So much compassion
He is gorgeous!! Brought tears to my eyes. God's blessings
Jamie ur literally the best and the kindest owner along with Jodie
Oh my heart I cried at the beginning and the end nice to see sherpa being his chatty self. Big loves cuddles and sausages xxx
@3:30 I love how Sherpa still brings the love and happiness even when he's not 100%! One of the many things that makes him a rockstar!
He was looking thirsty. Love how you can make every day great.
Oh man. Glad he has you Jamie.
Sherp is detecting the Matrix that we cannot see. Such a sweet boy. I love him♡ God Bless him
You are the best dad for Sarah and Sherpa. Happy birthday, Jamie!
A big hug to Sherpa and a happy birthday to you Jamie. That broke my heart to see him like that. Bless him, feel better my beautiful boy💙
Take care of your boy. We all love him and want him to be healthy and okay.
I myself have had epilepsy for quite a few years now. Its heart breaking to see Sherpa like that. He is very lucky to have someone like you to look after him talking to him and bringing him round and Giving him all the love and attention. I cried when I saw the video of him God bless him xxxx
My heart hurts. Sending love. Such a good old man.
I know that has to be hard to watch. Glad he’s able to come back with time! Love you Sherps!
Happy Birthday Jamie 🎉💐🍫
Poor boy, so not himself.❤️❤️❤️ It's so good when he comes back!
How scary. I grew up with a poodle that was epileptic and he used to have big seizures. For sure but this one seem to be pretty mild but I'm glad that you know how to take care of it for him. You are such a good Guardian to him. Take care.
I found this quite a sad one to watch as it reminds me so much of one of my dogs, It broke my heart to watch her slowly disappear from me as she got older. You're a good owner Jamie, full respect to you.
Sherpa is a strong boy, and it's heartbreaking to see him so lost when he has an episode. He did a little high five to let you know he still recognized you, though, and came out of it his hungry and talkative self! Hugs to Sherpa, and Happy Birthday 🧁🙂
Giving you poochy smoochy's and tummy rubs from across the pond, Sherpa. Be well please :)
Glad you were able to be with him and speak so softly as he dealt with his spell.
Ah sweet pup, Give him hugs and kisses from me. I hope he's feeling better.
Sherp’s is usually talkative-everyone has their day growing older as humans; Sherp’s has his.
Sherpa has had this since he was two. Once or twice a year.
hope he’s better now that must be so scary especially when you’re away from home ❤️🏴
That made me tearful! But, as Jamie said, Sherpa’s tail did not stop wagging! He is so beautiful, and he and Jamie are unfailingly loving and kind to each other.
A great relief when Sherpa began talking again. 💕
As an epileptic, it constantly gets me crying a hurricane seeing dogs, cats, etc with seizures too. Started from petit to grand mal. Love your humanitarian approach for caring. Thanx from Florida.
Poor darlin'.
Hats off to you Jamie, and Sherpa too of course.
I wish you rainbows Sherpa.
Sherpa is a great dog . He has amazing social skills. If I ever met him I'd love to give him a hug and say thank you for making me laugh.
Me too. He’s a wonderful woofer
Sherpa has the best dad in the world who is patient and loving when he has one of his "zone-outs." and happy birthday to you Jamey!
Just read about Sherpa
I am sitting here crying. I look forward every day to see him
Jaime you are a great doggie dad. Happy Birthday. Lots and lots of doggie kisses.
What's wrong with him?
@@abrielrobertsson4160 he's getting old
@@karenmorrisette5027 Yeah but why the funny turns? Does he have any mental condition or smth?
@@abrielrobertsson4160 Sherpa had a seizure. Humans who experience bad enough seizures behave very similarly afterwards. Not sure why they keep being referred to as "funny turns". Maybe a British thing?
@@G3m1n1MTNs Exactly that. When we say 'funny turn' we most definitely don't mean 'humorous'. We mean funny as in strange/worrying.
Bless your heart darling Sherpie - you're the sweetest bestest boy in all the world and you have the dearest most loving papa a boy could ever have ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Good boy. Good dad. Nice to see a few bits of Scotland are wheelchair - accessible.
We are with you, Sherpa!
Happy Birthday Jamie. I started having seizures about 20 years ago, but sometimes I just zone out like Sherpa did then. Sometimes mine last just a couple of mins upto about half hour. Watching this brought tears to my eyes because I know what it's kind of like for him, they can be scary and confusing. Bless him, my thoughts are with him xx
Now we have huskies, who are our first ever dogs, this totally broke my heart seeing him this way. I love the bond you two have and was so happy to hear him talking again ❤️❤️
Huskies are not first time owner dogs, I hope you give them plenty of exercise. Too many people keep them as couch potatoes
Seeing Sherpa having an episode was a bit emotional 😢. I'm pleased he's got a good owner to stay with him, until the lights turn back on. 😃
It’s a good thing Sherpa’s got the best Dad taking care of him.👍🙏❤️
He's a wonderful dog, and age is catching up with him, and a little vague, give him a big hug for me....love his videos...
I didn't realise that I was holding my breath until he spoke to that person and I let out a huge sigh of relief and had to hold back tears!! 😢 so so happy to see him chatting away again to people! And a Happy Birthday to you too Jamie! You are the best doggo dad to Sherpa! 🐺
This was beautiful to watch. He stayed happy even in the midst of his turn, almost like he knew Dad was going to help him. The second you guys got out and started walking and playing with the stick, you could see he was back ❤️ And such a joy when he started talking again! God bless you guys!
I'm glad to see that Sherpa came back from his strange turn he took. Have a great rest of your Tuesday, Jamie and Sherpa.💖
hurts my heart to see but then it expands when Sherpa is stimulated back. Jamie you are a solid man. what a connection you have, 😊🙏
This poor boy is having mini seizures, give him cuddles and lots of loves
Happy birthday Jamie. Glad to see Sherpa is back to his old self and you can go on more adventures. 💖
Of course he feels better when he goes for a walk and love how he greets them and of course gets his love from everyone
I'm glad you have figured out ways to help Sherpa. In every video you show us how much you love him. I love him too and can't wait to see his next videos. Have a great holiday in Scotland and drive safe.
What a wonderful fix for those moments of mental foggyness. I hope you can continue to pull him back. Getting old is scary and im glad he has you there to help him through it. ❤
Jamie: is it almost like vertigo. Sherpa my love, you can’t have anything wrong going on. It would break mine and thousands more hearts
God bless him, the tail still wagging even though he's feeling a bit unwell. Glad he's ok again.
It looks like he had an absence seizure while on the porch. People who have absence seizures are confused and disoriented for a while afterwards, so that may be what happens with Sherp. You handle his episodes so well, Jamie.
P.S.: Happy Birthday, Jamie!
So glad to see he’s feeling better! I nearly got a heart attack when I saw him like that😢😭. Maybe if it happens again you could ask Alexa to snap him out of it😂. Oh, and happy birthday 🎉
Me too 😳 but Jamie helped him 🥰Yes Sherp 💖💖🐕
I just want to give him 1,000,000 hugs
I wonder if he's having seizures? Poor boy, he's so good and sweet. Happy birthday Jamie!
