Time to heal

This photo gives you some notion of the pain that R's left eye must have caused him after glaucoma irreparably damaged it.

He was home by last evening, and he seemed much better than we expected. He seems pretty comfortable and energetic.

Lots of poeple who have gone through this glaucoma with their dogs have told me that their dogs seem much happier after the surgery. I have the feeling that R will be one of those. So, he should be clowning around for the camera again soon.

I hope so!

Thanks so much for all of your kind messages yesterday. You helped make the day easier.

  20. I haven't commented for a while but I have been reading your posts and sending positive thoughts to all of you and especially the wonderful black dog. I'm so sorry he had to have the eye removed but as you know well, he will adapt and be better for it. Hope he will soon be back on the trail with the Runner.
