Any body else on this site in love with ACDs?

HELLO! YES, my little fur ball is named Maggie May. She will be 3 years old in Feb. of this year. I bought her on a whim--I had never had a dog before and she's the love of my life, sleeps with me and all. She had a bad time of it last year, and almost died after she swallowed a marble that fell off a windchime. Don't ask me why, but after 800.00 and almost dying from bowel obstruction, she passed it. Now she's epileptic and takes phenabarbitol every day. Have you ever had any epileptic ACD's? My vet says they are prone to it but it doesn't show up until after 2 years or so. Valencia in TX
