My daughter is very careful. When she found Balto she had two older dogs. She lives in a large house and can comfortably separate the dogs when no one is home. When there home they can tell when he is about to have a seizures sometimes, he walks with his head tipped sideways. Most of the time the seizures start at night. He is such a great dog, poor thing.

books like children and dogs should be loved,
Literature is my utopia,
It is the beginning of the end of a society or family when they no longer take care of their young or their old

"Hoping" won't cut it. If the Aussie has seizures, they should never be left alone until you are absolutely sure how the puppy will react. In some cases, one dog will stand guard over another who is ailing. I've had any number of big burly male boxers who were as gentle as a kitten with an ailing elderly female. I also have known cases where a young healthy dog will revert to pack attitude where another pack member who is not at optimum strength becomes a danger -- and they move to "remove" that danger from the pack. Until they know how the puppy will react, he should be crated whenever they leave. And, if the Aussie is subject to seizures (is he on anything for them?), for his protection, he should be crated so that if he has a seizure, he cannot hurt himself on furniture, falling down stairs or off things.
