It's not as bad as it looks, and now we think we know what's going on. Darla had begun bleeding from her eyes during the process of administering the course of topical medications. At first we couldn't tell where the blood was coming from, because it would just starting running down from the corners of…

This girl who came to us a few months ago completely blind can now see again! Yes, Darla's cataract surgery was a success and her vision is restored. I took that photo of her at lunch on Sunday, where she was giving me the (new) stare-down over what she thought I should be sharing with…
-
http://scripts/prototype.js I won't have any blog posts for the rest of this week because a) I am fresh out of material at the moment and b) I will be on the road to Burlington tomorrow and Friday to take Darla to the ophthalmologist. Yes, she is finally having her cataract surgery to restore her vision!…

Alayne got this shot of Widget late last week, during the worst of the heat wave. Yes, like the previous post with Aurora, the fan was definitely on but the camera managed to "freeze" the blade. Just before Alayne picked up the camera, Widget's ears were flying out further, but then she dropped her head…

I took this photo yesterday afternoon of Aurora cooling off upside down in her basket bed in front of the fan. The fan was indeed on, it's just that this digital SLR camera shoots at such high speed it makes the fan blades look like they're not moving. Believe me, as hot as yesterday was, that…

Widget is the last to eat dinner, always dining alone in the living room. She likes it that way. While she's eating, we're finishing putting the rest of the dogs up for the night. Then, after she's done, Widget heads out into the front yard on these summer evenings, wanders a bit, and ends up camping out…

This one belongs in the ever-expanding "odd and awkward sleeping positions" file. That's Dexter, who has recently been sleeping more often like this with his head turned completely backwards. We can't figure out how that could possibly be comfortable, or how he doesn't wake up with his neck stiff as a board, but sleep like…

When I took Darla in for her eye exam a few weeks ago, I also took Zach for his exam. We knew he was completely blind when he arrived, and based on our own cursory exam and our long experience in observing blind dogs, I didn't think there was much chance of restoring his vision.…

We're going to take a blog break this week in light of the holiday. We hope all of you have a wonderful Independence Day on July 4th, and to our friends up north, Happy Canada Day today!
