    Wishing Bailey all the best in her surgery. Fingers crossed. I can understand the miles thing, but I did take Turtle about that far when we were having her ear problems. We didn't have to go that many times though. Only around four or five times, can't remember.

    i get why you're upset....eyes are tricky...my pug had to have two surgeries on his eyes....and he still only has about 85% of his vision....

    but.....and, this is important....if you have a good feeling about the surgery and you have valium or the drink of your choice, you will get through this...

    as to keeping a min pin quiet...it's essential that bailey doesn't rub the eye on anything.....so the cone of shame....mine wore it for 3 weeks....it was hell on him and on us...but he did adapt, my pug

    and i have a feeling, with all that you do for all of those dogs you have ( you are a saint, you know, a living one).....you're one gutsy lady.....

    i'll be thinking and praying for you and bailey.....

    If I can restore even half of her vision, as well as stop the progression of the potential for glaucoma I'll be a happy camper.

    but.....and, this is important....if you have a good feeling about the surgery and you have valium or the drink of your choice, you will get through this...

    You know, I really have no doubt it'll be successful. I just dread the process and am worried about what might happen if things go downhill beforehand. Believe me, there's gonna be some drinking goin' on. If Bailey and I could only slip into a small coma right after the surgery and sleep for 2 to 3 weeks while the healing was going on...

    as to keeping a min pin quiet...it's essential that bailey doesn't rub the eye on anything.....so the cone of shame....mine wore it for 3 weeks....it was hell on him and on us...but he did adapt, my pug

    Keeping a Min Pin quiet... Yeah, not likely to happen but we're gonna give that our best shot. My other Min Pin got an ulcer on her eye a couple of years ago. The cone really didn't seem to bother her and she was a pro at figuring out how to maneuver around with it. BUT, she nearly wore the skin off the backs of my legs with it bumping into me 750 times a day. So very much fun. She even figured out that she could toss her head back and shove it through the doggie door. Problem solving little smarty pants...

    and i have a feeling, with all that you do for all of those dogs you have ( you are a saint, you know, a living one).....you're one gutsy lady.....

    i'll be thinking and praying for you and bailey.....
    Thanks for thinking I'm a saint. I'm unfortunately just the crazy dog lady that loves them more than most people I know. They're all just way nicer than most folks..... And I appreciate the thoughts and prayers because my girl needs them. Well, and me too a little. Thank you, thank you!

    you'd have to be a saint to do what you do....as for being the crazy dog lady, you're in good company.

    if you like, i shall drink virtually, along with you. :)
