Black Dog Sunday

I love when our Black Dog can come out to play with me and Shyla at sunrise. I think that Shyla adores having him with us too!

The sunrise light is glorious at this time of year. It starts out reddish and then turns golden. It shimmers off of R's black coat and makes his eye glow with deep brown.

He's adapting really well to his loss of sight. He can still see with his remaining eye although we're not certain how good his vision is. We are seeing signs that it may be starting downhill (but, then again, we are paranoid about his vision now). We are trying to emulate R by focusing on these happy days for the Duo.

Our Black Dog wishes you a good week. He says to have fun and don't stress out about the upcoming holidays!
Happy Black Dog Sunday!

  8. What a wise dog that black dog is. Sending positive thoughts that his other eye does not fail. Lucy sends POTP. She has an eye problem in her left eye. The muscle that keeps the eyeball forward is weakening. It doesn't seem to be worsening buy may represent a brain tumor causing the muscle to weaken. Because of Lucy's age and general health, our veterinarian does not recommend a neuro workup because surgery would be too risky. She seems to see well and only on a closer look can you spot the difference in the eyes. We're hoping it does not get worse.

  11. Aw on the both of them. Pals indeed. We just love them no matter what. Our Little Bit had so many health issues as she got older. We just dealt with each one of them and let her know that we loved her more than anything. We miss our girl something awful.

    Have a woof woof day you two. My best to your peeps. ♥
