What's next????

Not a very positive weekend at our house. We had to take Dewy - our little boy- to the vet on Saturday because we thought he had an ear infection. Well, he does, but along with that, he is going blind in his right eye. He is only 10 months old. WHAT IS THE DEAL??? Can we not have a normal dog? Poor Jack had seizures and probably a brain tumor and we had to have him put to sleep. Piglet chews out her stitches and part of her intestines which resulted in a very long and complicated surgery to put her back together, and now my poor baby won't be able to see out of one of his eyes!!! Jasmin has been doing well, but has been gaining her "winter weight". She is a chubby little girl! Needless to say, Gary and I are a little depressed over the whole thing, but Dewy doesn't seem to really notice. He is just as goofy as ever. Dr. Tom- the vet- said that since it is only one eye, it is probably caused by trauma. If it had been both eyes, he would say that he probably has diabetes. So, we will be watching him closely for the next couple of months to make sure his other eye is okay. Say a little prayer for our baby!!

Wish you could see Kristi's dog, Wrigley. He had both eyes removed over a year ago and does amazingly well!!! He plays, still goes crazy when people come over, and can snuggle when needed! Unless told, you wouldn't know he was totally blind. HOWEVER, I know that doesn't take away the worry you guys have with Dewy, but it's amazing how they can adjust (just VERY hard on moms and dads!!!). Hang in there and "little prayers" are being said!!! Love you guys!
