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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
