An Update from Stevie

 Iwant to wish all of you that read this blog a Very Happy and Healthy Holiday and a Very Healthy and Happy New Year.  I have good news, more good news and some bad news.  Let's just get the bad news out of the way because it is much shorter than the good news for a change!  The bad news is that the eye doctor says I am 99% blind and more tests may tell why, but not cure.  Phyllis warned them I would need a muzzle and she was right.  If you can't see, most things are pretty scary.  For me at least. 
Now, on to the good news:  The most important good news makes Phyllis very very happy even though it may not happen again for a long time, but tonight at 7:45 I went for a walk with Elvis and our new fur foster Caesar.  On the way home, I stopped, squatted, and peed right on the sidewalk.  You should have heard Phyllis.  I was almost embarassed.  She got so excited you would have thought she was going to get a treat.  I get excited after I eat and jump up on her for a treat.  That makes her happy too, but nothing like a little pee on the sidewalk.  The other good news is that I let her pick me up a lot, lay on my back to get my belly rubbed and when she wakes up from sleeping or comes into the house from being away, I actually get excited.  I try to wag my tail but it is stiff from non-use.  Maybe soon.  (I hope Phyllis is not too excited over what I did outside because it could be a long time before I do it again and she is sometimes too much of an optimist).  I like her though because she pats me and gives me good food and doesn't yell at me when I go in the house.
p.s.  I wonder if I will ever get adopted by anyone now that we know I will never see!  I wonder if there is anyone in this world that wants to take care of a blind dog for maybe another 10 years!  I wonder what will become of me!   Actually, I am a dog, and don't wonder at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
